We currently commission annual surveys to obtain information on the workforce, and information on regulated services is available from Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW).
We have launched a new Social Care Wales Population Projection Platform, replacing the old Daffodil Cymru, a platform which makes available population projections data for planning care and support services in Wales.

— look for a more creative solutions to our digital learning approach that sit within our on-line eco-system to better support user need,
— understand what support we can provide employers of social care and early years workers through an employer liaison service,
— support the social care and early years workers in our offer to the on-line/off-line services they can receive from Social Care Wales.
As part of the work on developing our data offer and portal the supplier will be required to take into account the digital developments already in progress, the outputs of these projects and the road map setting out our future digital approach.
We are seeking a partner to support our requirements. This means entering into a partnership/joint venture with a suitable third party to build required infrastructure, expertise and capacity.
We are looking for a partner who can bring a creative, but practical and grounded approach to develop an improved data offering, enabling us to achieve the aims and objectives below. This will include design, development, and hosting of our data portal to support people working in the sector to improve the way care and support services are planned, developed and delivered.
We would like to broaden our offer, to provide insight and tools that shape improvement activities and support decision making for local authorities, Welsh Government, Regional Partnership Boards, people working in the social care sector, and organisations providing care and support, across the independent and third sectors.

In accordance with Regulation 55 (1) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 we advise you that we no longer intend to continue with this competitive procurement process commenced by the OJEU Notice dispatched on 18 December 2020 under reference 2020/S 247-615646 for the above contract for the following reason:
Due to a change in knowledge and factual circumstance it appears to the Council that our tender requirements for this procurement were flawed and exposed the Council to unknown technical and cost implications.
Gateshead Council (the Council) provides paid for services to the citizens of Gateshead. As a result, the Council has set up several payment channels for its customers. Some of these channels allow payment to be made by credit or debit cards. Any such card payments must comply with Payment Card Industry (PCi) standards. The Council has a dedicated PCi network for the card taking process and has moved its card taking application into a Cloud environment thereby reducing the scope of PCi requirements. However, payments taken over the phone remain an area of potential risk. The Council was seeking a solution to allow employees and Customer Service Agents to take customer not present (MOTO) payments over the phone whilst descoping remaining PCi requirements.

Technical requirements: CVDPREVENT is a new national audit of cardiovascular disease prevention in primary care in England. This contract opportunity is to provide clinical leadership and professional and stakeholder engagement to support professionally-led quality improvement in addition to tailored outputs and reports (Workstream 3 of the audit). Workstreams 1 and 2 of this audit will be carried out by NHS Digital (NHSD) and Public Health England (PHE) and hence the successful bidder will need to work collaboratively.
Please follow the url address to view the specification and to formally express your interest in this contract opportunity. Potential providers must complete the supplier registration form and declaration on the e-procurement system and submit for approval before they can access the invitation to tender (ITT) which is a separate event.
NB: this is a 1-stage process and the deadline given for the submission of complete tenders is the same as expressions of interest.
The contract for Workstream 3 will initially be delivered for NHS-funded care in England, for a period of 3 years, at a maximum total budget of up to GBP 600 000 excluding VAT. Bids exceeding this limit may be rejected. There is potential to extend the contract for up to two additional years, subject to topic prioritisation by the funders, the availability of funding, and an assessment by a HQIP-convened panel on the quality of the project delivery.
Bidders should submit their Schedule of Offer based on delivery of the core elements of this specification (see ‘Scope’ Section A3) for the initial 3 years only. The maximum budget value is GBP 600 000 excluding VAT. Taking into account the aspirational intent featured in the specification as well as the possibility that a contract extension may be offered for an additional 2 years, the potential ceiling value is GBP 7 000 000 excluding VAT. Please note, there is no commitment by the Authority at this stage to include any of these.
The authority delivers the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcome Programme (NCAPOP) on behalf of NHS England and the health departments of the UK devolved nations who wish to participate.

The support agreement for Torbay Council's current integrated payroll and human resources system is coming to an end and the purpose of this procurement exercise is to extend the contract with the incumbent supplier.
In January 2011 Torbay Council entered into a contract for an integrated payroll and human resources system. This contract comprised of the purchase of a perpetual licence for the software and a 7-year support agreement. This support agreement is due to expire in December 2021 and the incumbent supplier has exclusive rights to the software. As such, they are the only supplier able to support and provide updates and new releases for the system.
The Council opted for the more costly option of a perpetual licence when this system was originally procured to enable ongoing use of the system and delay the need for any significant costs associated with the purchase of a new system. The system is fully embedded, meets the Council's current needs and is capable of being adapted to meet future needs. It would therefore not offer best value if the Council were to go out to tender for the purchase of a new system.
Currently Torbay Council are in the process of procuring a Council-wide CRM IT system. It is anticipated that following award, it will take at least 2 years to implement this new system. With the demands of this large project, there is not the capacity within the IT department to develop the necessary documents required to procure a potential replacement HR and Payroll system. It is also estimated that it would take between 2 to 3 years to procure and implement a potential replacement HR and Payroll system, which means that the current support agreement needs to be extended for 5 years.

Public Health resource (who would be the lead commissioners for this re-procurement) and resource within the NHS (who make up a large proportion of the competitive market for these services) are currently diverted to managing the Covid-19 incident. As a result, there is capacity issues in terms of running this re-procurement activity both for the contracting authority and potential Economic Operators.
(ii) As identified at VII.1.4 (Description of the Procurement) there is no intention to alter the nature of the contract during the extended period. The delivery of service remains the same.
(iii) The value of the extension period does not exceed 50 % of the value of the original contract. As identified at VII.1.6 the value of the original contract over the initial 4-year duration was GBP 23 903 000. A 12-month extension at around GBP 5 031 187 represents a 21.05 % increase.
