It employs more than 700 professional staff, with specialist regulatory roles (e.g. nuclear safety/security/safeguards); corporate professions including Policy and Communications, Finance, Information Technology (IT), and Human Resources, and other core functions. ONR's Head Office, housing its main functions, is in Bootle, Liverpool, with two smaller offices in London and Cheltenham. ONR independently regulates nuclear safety and security at 37 nuclear licensed sites in the UK. We also regulate transport and ensure that safeguards obligations for the UK are met. Our duty is to ensure that the nuclear industry controls its hazards effectively, has a culture of continuous improvement and maintains high standards. ONR requires media training for selected members of its Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and the ONR Chair to support effective, confident and consistent engagement with the media, parliamentary committees and other public-facing communication channels including social media. The training will help senior representatives respond to challenging questions, communicate complex regulatory issues clearly and develop concise, confident on-camera skills for digital and social media channels. ONR is seeking to award a contract to a suitably qualified media training supplier to design and deliver tailored media and social media training for members of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and ONR Chair. The training must reflect the different specialisms, public-facing responsibilities and leadership roles within ONR. ONR also requires the ability to arrange refresher training and additional ad hoc training for further personnel, as required, at fixed rates for the duration of the contract. The successful contractor will supply broadcast media training to enable ONR personnel to talk confidently to a camera, virtually, down-the-line (radio) but also to other media including print media and social media messaging. Training should support ONR personnel to adapt their style and message delivery, depending on audience, channel and line of questioning, and be confident in conveying key messages, even when under pressure. Training will also encompass developing ONR personnel to deliver competent video messaging for social media and longer form in-house videos, requiring subjects to be confident in front of a camera, able to deliver strong messaging and narratives without prompts or uncertainty. Training may be provided virtually where practical, and also in ONR's offices (Bootle, Cheltenham and/or London) depending on the nature of the training required and the availability of ONR personnel. The contractor should make use of equipment as necessary to create a realistic environment for a range of different media scenarios, with an ability to play back interviews to review and improve performance. Training should be made up of a blended approach of face-to-face sessions, duration of approximately 3 hours or 0.5 day per individual, and shorter refresher sessions delivered virtually (e.g. via Zoom or MS Teams) of between 1-2 hours. More than one media trainer should be made available to deliver sessions so that training participants experience different interview styles during the course of their training. The contractor will be required to liaise with the ONR Communications team to work up realistic scenarios for training and will carry out independent research to produce a "key messages" briefing tailored for each session. The contractor will advise on the level of advanced preparation that will be required by SLT participants. Knowledge of the nuclear industry, ONR's role and regulatory parlance is highly desirable and the contractor must be able to present projected costs for such preparatory work. The contractor will also train ONR personnel to be able to perform competently in the parliamentary committee arena when the dynamic is different to a media environment, but no less pressured. ocds-h6vhtk-078320 Wed, 07 Oct 2026 16:31:10 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06e029 Leicester City Council - The Housing Division is required to respond to increasing regulatory expectations, including the introduction of the Competence and Conduct Standard, which comes into effect in October 2026.

The roundtables will take place on: • Tuesday, 27th October 2026, 09:30-10:30 GMT • Tuesday, 3rd November 2026, 09:30-10:30 GMT To register your organisation’s interest in one of these events, please complete the following registration form by Tuesday, 20th October 2026 at 11:59 pm: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=MIwnYaiRMUyMH-9N6Jc6HHkA63U0d81Ht4WY0oa7NW1UNFZKVktHMU9ZWVhIT01GNDRKMU0zTE9aVS4u Attendance is restricted to one person per organisation. The National Cancer Plan for England recognises the impact that cancer can have on people’s working lives and sets out an ambition to work with employers and impact economy investors to raise awareness of effective interventions, scale good practice and make support more accessible. Too many people are forced to stop working due to cancer. Around 830,000 working age people are living with cancer in England. Cancer can have a significant impact on people’s finances and ability to remain in work: people hospitalised with cancer face nearly £5,000 in lost income, while patients lose an average of 75 days of work across their pathway. People living with cancer are not always able to access interventions that are known to be useful. Through engagement on the National Cancer Plan, we have heard charities, larger companies and practitioners already know which interventions can help people living with cancer to remain in and return to work. However, some sectors of the economy still find it difficult to proactively offer support due to a lack of awareness or easily accessible tools. These challenges are often faced by sectors of the economy which account for a large share of employment, including SMEs. DHSC is therefore seeking to work with purpose-driven businesses, charities and the impact economy to help raise awareness, scale effective interventions and make them more accessible. The Ministerial roundtables will provide an opportunity to hear from organisations about existing approaches, the challenges they face and where collaboration between different organisations could help scale effective support. ocds-h6vhtk-077f5e Fri, 02 Oct 2026 10:40:51 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-056241 Home Office - The Home Office is seeking to engage with suppliers who are interested in becoming the commercial partners responsible for delivering the Escorting Services contract, which provides the in-country and overseas escorting of detained persons and management of Short-Term Holding Facilities (STHF), across the UK and Northern France.

The framework will provide access to suitably qualified and experienced suppliers capable of delivering a broad range of professional development services, including leadership and management development, procurement and commercial skills, finance, risk and compliance, project management, coaching and mentoring, digital and technology skills, personal effectiveness, and other specialist training requirements. Through this procurement, DBW aims to appoint a panel of providers who can deliver high-quality, flexible and value-for-money learning solutions across a range of delivery methods, including classroom-based, virtual and blended learning. Tenderers may apply for one, some or multiple disciplines within a Lot. Tenderers are not required to demonstrate capability across all disciplines contained within a Lot. Additional questions within the eTenderWales portal will require Tenderers to identify the specific discipline(s) for which they are submitting a Tender. The framework will support DBW's strategic objectives by enhancing workforce capability, supporting organisational development and ensuring employees have access to relevant and effective learning opportunities. Further details of the scope, lot structure, evaluation methodology and framework arrangements are set out within the procurement documents. The framework is expected to be divided into lots to reflect different areas of expertise. The Development Bank of Wales does not guarantee any minimum volume or value of work under the framework. Contracts will be awarded in accordance with the call-off procedures set out in the procurement documents. Services may include training programmes, workshops, masterclasses, briefings, coaching, mentoring, facilitation, training needs analysis, learner diagnostics, preparation of learning materials, post-course evaluation and associated reporting. Delivery may be in person, virtual or blended, depending on the requirement, audience and relevant lot. The framework will be divided into lots covering leadership and management development; procurement, commercial and contract management; financial services, risk and regulatory training; digital, technology and AI skills; project and change management; HR, equality, diversity and inclusion; health, safety and wellbeing; Welsh language and communication skills; coaching and mentoring; and soft skills and business development. The framework will not guarantee any minimum level of spend, volume of work or number of call-off contracts. Requirements will be commissioned through the framework call-off arrangements and will be subject to business need, budget availability, approval requirements and supplier performance. The tender code for etenderwales is itt_127450 Strategic Approach to Supplier Appointment In order to maximise competition, improve resilience of supply and provide access to a diverse range of specialist providers, DBW has structured this Framework to allow Tenderers to bid for individual disciplines within each Lot. DBW's approach is intended to support participation from SMEs, micro-businesses, specialist providers and Welsh suppliers who may possess expertise in specific disciplines rather than across all service areas within a Lot. To ensure continuity of service, competitive tension and sufficient market capacity throughout the term of the Framework Agreement, DBW intends to appoint a minimum of two (2) suppliers and a maximum of four (4) suppliers per discipline within each Lot, subject to a sufficient number of Tenderers meeting the Conditions of Participation and achieving the minimum required evaluation standards. Where fewer than two compliant Tenderers are received for a particular discipline, DBW reserves the right to proceed with the available compliant Tenderer(s) or take such other action as it considers appropriate in accordance with the procurement documents. The overall maximum number of suppliers that may be appointed across all Lots and disciplines under the Framework Agreement is 314. This figure represents the total maximum framework capacity and should not be interpreted as the number of suppliers to be appointed to any individual Lot or discipline. This approach is intended to: maintain value for money through ongoing competition at call-off; reduce dependency on individual suppliers; provide flexibility to meet varying business requirements; encourage participation from specialist providers; improve resilience and continuity of service provision; and support DBW's objective of creating a broad and diverse supplier base capable of delivering high-quality training, coaching and development services. ocds-h6vhtk-07777b Wed, 30 Sep 2026 13:41:49 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-077c4c Lincolnshire County Council - Lincolnshire County Council intends to establish an Open Framework for the commissioning of independent placements for children and young people.

This Framework may also be used by other Authority departments including but not limited to Children, Adults and Public Health. The Authority is seeking to put in place an Open Framework to establish the initial Framework and appoint one or more Framework Members in each Lot to deliver services. This Procurement is intended to set up a list of approved Framework Members for each Lot. There is no limit to the number of Suppliers who can be Framework Members in each Lot. Call-off Award Procedures will then be conducted, and Call-off contracts will then be awarded. This Procurement is a replacement for services previously tendered 'CPU3880 and CPU7231 - Framework for Community Based Support and Accommodation Based Services for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness)'. It is important for Suppliers to note that if they are on the above Frameworks and wish to participate in future contract opportunities for this service, they will need to submit a response to this Procurement. This is a light touch special regime Framework as per Sections 8 and 9 of the Procurement Act 2023. The process to be used will be the Competitive Flexible Procedure as per Section 20 of the Procurement Act 2023. Where a Supplier fails the any stage as described below, their Tender will not be assessed any further: • Stage One - Initial Review of Tender Submission • Stage Two - Procurement Specific Questionnaire Pass/Fail • Stage Three - Quality Questions 1 and 2 Pass/Fail • Stage Four - Quality Questions 3 to 6 Assessment Scored Pass/Fail • Stage Five - Any required Final Qualification Check. Re-Opening The Open Framework Mechanism allows the Authority to 're-open' the Framework to new Framework Members, while allow existing Framework members to also remain as Framework Members. The Authority reserves the right to re-open the Framework to new potential Framework Members when it deems it is required to ensure: • Procurement legislation is complied with. • Capacity requirements can be met. • To ensure adequate competition in the Call-off Award Procedure. • To meet needs that are not satisfied by current Framework Members. • Other reasons deemed reasonable by the Authority. The Authority will post a Tender Notice on Find Tender Service/CDP when it re-opens the Framework for new Tender submissions. As this Procurement is for a 'Light Touch Contract', the process and award of Call-off contracts may include some flexibilities permitted by the Special Regime of the Procurement Act (2023). Suppliers will be required to behave lawfully and ethically in sourcing Accommodation and in a manner that does not create additional Homelessness. The Authority reserves the right not to contract or proceed with Orders with any Suppliers where it is discovered this is not the case and the Authority reserves the right to no longer work with the Supplier in the future. Consideration of SME's SME's have been considered in the following ways: • Advanced notice promoted via Pipeline Notice and PME notices. • Reduced number of Lots so reduced Tendering requirements. • Clear requirements for Conditions of Participation to make it clear the type of experience and capability required. • Longer than required Tender submission time provided. • No insurance required at Framework stage. • Low liability cap amounts. • Framework can be re-opened for new Suppliers Framework Term The first framework for a term of up to three years anticipated to start from 8 January 2027 to 31 December 2029 and a second framework for a term of up to a further five years from 1 January 2030 to 31 December 2034, subject to change depending on initial tendering length and termination clauses. The actual Framework dates and number of Frameworks are indicative only, but the total Term is of all Frameworks added together is a maximum of eight years. In the unlikely event that only one supplier is appointed to any individual Framework in the scheme of Frameworks during the open Framework Period then the maximum term for the Framework, and the open Framework, will be 4 years from the date on which the single supplier Framework is awarded. PME Pre-Market was undertaken. A PME Pack is included in the Procurement Documents. The summary of the conclusion of the PME is: • The reduction of Lots to make tendering easier. • A framework mechanism to allow new Suppliers enter the framework. • Split call-offs into smaller contracts where possible. • Case study type tender questions Tender Modifications The Authority reserves the right to: • Refine the Conditions of Participation Criteria • Refine/modify the Procurement process and/or terms • Refine the Award Criteria • 'Roll' the Procurement to an appropriate previous stage Clarifications All questions/clarifications must be submitted via the Portal (more details below). Do not expect emails/calls to be responded to. All Suppliers should access the 'Messages' section of the Portal on a regular basis to check for any clarifications issued on this project and/or any public exchange of information between interested parties, before final submission of their bid. It is the sole responsibility of Suppliers to do so. LGR Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is the process in which the structure and responsibilities of local authorities are reconfigured. The Government has set out plans to move away from the current two-tier system of county and district councils which are in place in some parts of county of Nottinghamshire and other parts of England. The Authority has now received the Government's proposed decision regarding LGR in Nottinghamshire. However, there has been a pause in the LGR process so that Central Government can conduct a review. Due to the review there is some uncertainty over the exact timing of when (or if) any new structure will be implemented. The latest information is that the Authority will remain in their current format until at least April 2028. It is considered the period of Agreements and Call-off Contracts under this Procurement is likely to be impacted by LGR, should this process be resumed. The current intention is that this Agreement / Call-off Contract would continue following any new structure implemented. As a consequence of LGR, any resulting Agreement or Call Off Contract may be required to be transferred, assigned or novated (in whole or in part) to one or more successor authorities or other public bodies established as part of LGR, in accordance with applicable legislation. Suppliers acknowledge and accept that the Authority must comply with all statutory, regulatory and other legal requirements arising in connection with LGR and, to the extent necessary to do so, reserves the right to make such amendments to the procurement arrangements and/or any resulting Contract, Framework Agreement or Call Off Contract as are required or permitted by law. Suppliers must submit their Tender on the basis that such transfer, assignment, novation or amendment may occur and that no additional charges, price adjustments or termination rights shall arise solely as a result of LGR. Any reasonable steps taken by the Authority or a successor authority to notify Suppliers of matters arising from LGR shall be sufficient for the purposes of this procurement.

We will be procuring this contract for all Authorities/Bodies in the EMPR, which currently consists of: • Derby City Council - Lead Authority • Northamptonshire Children's Trust • Nottinghamshire County Council • Nottingham City Council • Leicester City Council • Leicestershire County Council • Derbyshire County Council • Lincolnshire County Council • Rutland County Council The Step up to Social Work programme is funded by the Department for Education (DfE) with the intention of raising the standard of social workers who work in children's statutory services. The programme recruits high calibre candidates who have a 2:2 degree and who already have experience of working with vulnerable children, young people or adults who want to train as social workers. The procurement process adopted by the Council is based on the 'Open' tendering procedure as detailed in the Procurement Act 2023 (the "Act") and the Procurement Regulations 2024 (the "Regulations") but with the added flexibility offered by Light Touch Regime (Section 9 and Schedule 1 of the Procurement Regulations 2024) and any subsequent amendment or re-enactment thereof. Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is underway in several areas across the country, including the East Midlands, and this may result in changes to council structures, service delivery and responsibilities, and geographical coverage during the life of the contract. For this contract it is anticipated that the effects of LGR will not lead to an increased service demand or the need to extend provision to new areas or client groups. However, it may be necessary to novate the contract to a new entity (that may replace Derby City Council) in future. The Council did not undertake any preliminary market engagement in advance of this procurement. This decision was taken following an internal assessment of the market, which concluded that the Council has sufficient knowledge of supplier capability, service delivery models, and pricing structures based on recent procurements of a similar nature. The Council has procured similar services twice within the last ten years, and officers have engaged with market intelligence, benchmarking data, and lessons learned from contract management to inform the service specification and procurement strategy. Insight gained through ongoing supplier performance monitoring and user feedback has enabled the Council to refine its approach without the need for further engagement at the pre-procurement stage. To ensure a fair and competitive process, the Council has taken care to avoid including bespoke or overly prescriptive requirements that could favour incumbents or any particular delivery model. All potential suppliers are encouraged to raise questions via the clarification process during the tender period should they require further detail or context regarding any aspect of the specification or commercial arrangements. The Council is committed to ensuring a transparent and level playing field and has taken steps to ensure that no supplier is unfairly advantaged or disadvantaged by the decision not to conduct formal market engagement. Please note suppliers wishing to express interest and obtain the documentation must do so by 11.30pm on Thursday 22nd October 2026. It is recommended that you express interest and obtain the documentation well before this time to allow sufficient time to prepare and submit a bid. The deadline for returns is 10.00am on Friday 23rd October 2026. Documents are available at www.eastmidstenders.org Please search for TD2420 Please note: we will only accept expressions of interest through the e-tendering system. ocds-h6vhtk-077985 Thu, 24 Sep 2026 13:41:30 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-07797d City of Doncaster Council - Delivery of cycling training in locations around Doncaster as part of the RST pilot ocds-h6vhtk-07797d Thu, 24 Sep 2026 13:24:24 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06f608 FAIRHIVE HOMES LIMITED - Invitation RFQ Description: Fairhive Homes Limited is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to provide, implement, configure, support, maintain and continuously improve a Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS will support Fairhive's requirements for effective learning management, compliance training, reporting, user administration and integration with Fairhive's wider systems environment. The scope is expected to include: • Hosted Learning Management System platform. • Configuration of workflows, roles, permissions, learning pathways, dashboards, notifications and branding. • Implementation support including mobilisation, discovery, testing, user acceptance testing, go-live support and hypercare. • Data migration including mapping, cleansing, reconciliation and validation. • Microsoft Entra ID Single Sign-On and user provisioning. • Microsoft 365 integrations including Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendar integration. • Administrator, manager and end-user training. • SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 content support. • Hosting, backups, disaster recovery, maintenance and support. • Reporting, dashboards and scheduled reporting. • Continuous improvement and account management. • Estimated Contract Value: £36,000 to £50,000 per annum. • Estimated Maximum Contract Value: £108,000 to £150,000 including VAT. • Procurement Above or Below Threshold: Below Threshold. • Main Procurement Category: Services • Contract Commencement: TBC - Fairhive to confirm.  Initial Term: 2 Years.  Extension Options: 1 Optional Year.  Potential Contract Expiry: TBC, dependent upon contract commencement date. NB - This procurement is being undertaken as a below-threshold Request for Quotation (RFQ) under the Procurement Act 2023. As the estimated contract value is below the applicable procurement threshold, it is not subject to the full regulated procurement procedures that apply to above-threshold procurements. The Act requires a proportionate approach to below-threshold procurement and provides contracting authorities with greater flexibility in determining an appropriate route to market. In accordance with this approach, the RFQ will be conducted on an invitation-only basis, with quotations being sought from a selected number of suppliers assessed as capable of delivering the requirement. This enables meaningful competition whilst maintaining a proportionate process aligned to the value, complexity and risk profile of the contract. Similar approaches are reflected within procurement guidance and procurement policies developed in response to the Procurement Act 2023. For completeness, the Procurement Act 2023 does not require contracting authorities to run an open tender process for below-threshold procurements. In particular: • Part 6 of the Act establishes a separate regime for below-threshold contracts, recognising that fewer obligations apply than for covered procurements. • Section 85 sets out requirements where a contracting authority chooses to invite tenders for a regulated below-threshold contract but does not mandate that the opportunity must be advertised openly to all suppliers. • The Act allows contracting authorities to take a proportionate approach to supplier selection and competition for below-threshold opportunities, provided that transparency requirements applicable to the procurement are met. ocds-h6vhtk-06f608 Thu, 24 Sep 2026 10:44:49 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06ef4a Powys County Council - UK 3 Published 01/09/2026 ID 169892 Re-Opening of Support Services Framework for Babies, Children, Young People and Families Lot 3: Any Other Support Provision UK4 is to tender for staff on Lot 3 of existing Framework ITT - 119984 for Babies, Children, Young People and Families. ocds-h6vhtk-06ef4a Thu, 24 Sep 2026 09:55:31 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d93c Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime - Project Background: Research commissioned by the Greater London Authority on Understanding the Manosphere (2025) found that many boys and young men are navigating increasing uncertainty around identity, masculinity, purpose and belonging. Evidence suggests that social isolation, loneliness, limited access to trusted adults, and exposure to harmful online content can increase vulnerability to misogynistic and harmful online narratives. At the same time, research highlights that boys and young men are seeking guidance on issues such as relationships, identity, wellbeing and masculinity, often in online spaces that can expose them to harmful or misleading content. Emerging evidence indicates that strengthening critical thinking, digital literacy and opportunities for open discussion and reflection can help young people to better understand, question and challenge harmful content and online influences. Research also demonstrates the importance of trusted relationships, positive male role models, supportive peer networks and meaningful offline spaces as protective factors that support healthy identity development, resilience, wellbeing and positive relationships. These opportunities can help boys and young men explore identity, belonging, relationships and different experiences and expressions of masculinity in safe and supportive environments. This evidence sits within a broader context of concern about the impact of online misogyny and harmful online narratives on both boys and young men and on the safety and wellbeing of girls and young women. Research highlights increasing exposure to misogynistic content online, the role of algorithms in amplifying harmful narratives, and the importance of early intervention approaches that build critical thinking, digital literacy, emotional wellbeing and healthy relationship skills. Evidence also highlights the value of creating spaces where boys and young men can explore identity, belonging, relationships and masculinity, reflect on the influences shaping their views, and develop resilience to harmful online content and messaging In response, the Mayor has launched a programme of activity to challenge harmful online narratives and support boys and young men to develop confidence, resilience and a strong sense of identity. In June 2026, the Mayor warned of the risk of a "lost generation of young men" if the growing influence of harmful online content is left unchecked, announcing a package of interventions to strengthen support for boys and young men at home, in schools and across communities. The Mayor's polling found that only 15% of Londoners believe boys and young men have access to enough positive role models, reinforcing the need for investment in trusted adults, mentoring and positive influences. The VRU is leading the development of this programme of interventions. Through mentoring, workforce development, support for fathers and carers, and preventative work in education settings, the programme aims to strengthen critical thinking and digital literacy, increase access to positive male role models and trusted adults, support boys and young men to explore identity, belonging, relationships and masculinity, and reduce vulnerability to exploitation, violence and harmful online influences. Scope of delivery The programme will be structured into three complementary lots as summarised within this notice.

This contract will end in March 2027, and so the Trust needs to run a procurement to ensure continuity of service. In addition to this, the Trust is planning a major ICT related investment and commitment to pupil learning by implementing a Trust wide 'One to One' (hereafter, 1:1) mobile device scheme for its students. The Trust has already piloted a 1:1 mobile device scheme using Apple iPads so the Trust understands its requirements clearly. Going forward, given both the scale of the requirement and the need to sustain and develop the programme over five years the point has been reached where a significant procurement exercise is needed to both be compliant with the Procurement Act and ensure best value with a capable partner going forward. Therefore, LAAT is taking the opportunity to go to the market to identify the best innovative and forward-looking partner to work with them in the support, delivery and development of their ICT provision over the next five years providing both the Managed Service Support and potentially 1:1 device procurement and support.

This contract will end in March 2027, and so the Trust needs to run a procurement to ensure continuity of service. In addition to this, the Trust is planning a major ICT related investment and commitment to pupil learning by implementing a Trust wide 'One to One' (hereafter, 1:1) mobile device scheme for its students. The Trust has already piloted a 1:1 mobile device scheme using Apple iPads so the Trust understands its requirements clearly. Going forward, given both the scale of the requirement and the need to sustain and develop the programme over five years the point has been reached where a significant procurement exercise is needed to both be compliant with the Procurement Act and ensure best value with a capable partner going forward. Therefore, LAAT is taking the opportunity to go to the market to identify the best innovative and forward-looking partner to work with them in the support, delivery and development of their ICT provision over the next five years providing both the Managed Service Support and potentially 1:1 device procurement and support. Given the significant investment in Apple devices, and based on experience from the pilot 1:1 project, the Trust will require specific training and CPD on the use of Apple devices and education specific applications in the classroom (including, but not limited to, Showbie - which is currently used in the pilot schools) from an appropriately accredited training provider, with 'real-world' experience of Apple devices being used in a 1:1/classroom context. The Trust is open to the MSP providing this training, but the Trust has built up a strong relationship with an existing 3rd party supplier in this area, and reserves the right to continue this relationship to ensure the most effective use of the 1:1 devices and the best outcomes for the 1:1 project. This procurement includes (but may not be limited to) the items listed below. • A core managed service, management of all ICT against an agreed SLA • A Service Desk, available 52 weeks a year including out of hours access providing a 'remote fix' to issues as they are reported where possible • On-site school staffing which suppliers deem necessary to deliver the service and meet the SLA requirements • Support for the Trust's Safeguarding/Filtering solution, Securly • Support for the Trust's Barracuda email security/Anti phishing solution • Strategic advice and direction to the Trust regarding ICT • Responsibility for design, specification, installation, and management of all ICT infrastructure • Supply of goods and services based on an agreed Best Value approach • Management of 3rd parties where relevant to the ICT support • Relevant monitoring, management, patching • Responsibility for ensuring appropriate backup and anti-virus is in place • Regular performance reporting • Support for cybersecurity readiness • CPD and training - digital skills and curriculum as necessary across Microsoft and Apple devices/software • There is an expectation that the provider will support and/or drive innovation • Maintain technical documentation • Maintain operational documentation, for example inventory management and risk registers • Collective partnership targets aligned to the Trust's objectives • In Trust support for the integration and upgrade of the connectivity, communications and security infrastructure as required, including liaising with relevant third parties on behalf of the Trust • Suppliers may be required to deliver a range of technology and change management projects in addition to the providing the core managed service. • Enhanced support during OFSTED visits, Exam periods, and around results days for Exams • The potential supply of a significant amount of Apple iPad devices - currently estimated to be c.2,500 over 5 years o A comprehensive managed service for repair and replacement,  Repair and/or replacement of devices  enrol/re-enrol hardware into the management console • Provision and management of VoIP phones/telephony across the trust ocds-h6vhtk-0776c4 Mon, 21 Sep 2026 16:06:08 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-077685 Environment Agency - This is a training course covering the environmental impacts of groundwater abstraction, structured modularly to accommodate a section on foundational concepts, accompanied by an advanced technical section including relevant case studies and problems.

This exercise gives potential bidders an opportunity to review the requirement and provide market feedback to help DHSC develop the final Invitation to Tender (ITT) fairly and transparently. The government recognises that its significant ambitions for adult social care reform and improvement will require strong leadership at local level. We need to ensure that new and aspiring DASSs are equipped with the confidence and capability to harness the benefits of reforms and to deliver improvements in outcomes for residents. In order to develop leadership capacity, support career progression and enable reform and improvement across adult social care, we are exploring a new leadership development programme for new and aspiring DASSs. The proposed Leadership Development Programme for adult social care aims to help develop adult social care leadership capacity and capability, specifically amongst those new to leadership. The programme should support up to 50 participants across two streams, one for aspiring DASSs and one for those recently appointed to the role. Its aims are to: • Rapidly equip a cohort of aspiring DASSs with the necessary capability and confidence to be exemplary leaders. • Support a cohort of new to post DASSs to develop their capability and confidence–contributing to improving attrition rates within the sector by helping DASSs remain in post for longer periods. • Support DASSs to drive sustainable, strategic improvement in councils. • Help to increase the number of councils rated as ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ in the CQC’s local authority adult social care assessments. Although this PME is being made available via the open market, DHSC currently expects to conduct the procurement through the GCA Learning and Training Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), RM6219. We have identified this as our proposed route to market due to the benefits it provides for both DHSC and potential bidders. Organisations wishing to participate in any tender which may follow this market engagement, should ensure they are registered on this DPS. If the DPS is used as the procurement strategy, only suppliers listed in the DPS according to the specified filters will receive an ITT. DHSC is also keen to maximise opportunities to participate in procurement for Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs). Consideration will be given to collaborative bids. Contract Value: The estimated total value of the contract is up-to £909,000 excluding VAT, £1,090,800 including VAT. The funding is expected to be divided broadly equally between the two financial years, reflecting the substantial work required to develop and mobilise the programme rapidly during the final quarter of 2026/27 and to support delivery throughout 2027/28. Contract Term: A term of 15-months. The programme is expected to commence in January 2027, with programme evaluation to conclude in March 2028. There is not expected to be an option to extend at this stage. Disclaimers - this PME: • Does not signify the commencement of a competitive procurement. • Does not constitute any commitment by the Department of Health and Social Care to procure services. • Does not create any obligation on the Department. • Does not provide a competitive advantage to any suppliers engaging with DHSC at this early stage, and DHSC will ensure equal treatment of all interested parties at all times. Any funding estimates referenced are indicative only and subject to change. The Department makes no commitment at this stage to the final scope or funding envelope of any future contractual activity. ocds-h6vhtk-077585 Fri, 18 Sep 2026 14:13:51 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-077570 Sunderland City Council - Pre Market Engagement only - Mental Health Champions Training for Children and Young People ocds-h6vhtk-077570 Fri, 18 Sep 2026 13:25:36 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-0774de The Electoral Commission - Action Research Projects 2026 27 The Electoral Commission is the independent public body which oversees elections and regulates political finance in the UK.

The Cabinet Office (Government Skills Group) is transforming the way learning and development (L&D) is designed, procured, and delivered across the Civil Service. Following the announcement by the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, the government is establishing the new National School of Government and Public Services (hereon The National School). The National School is tasked with delivering high-quality, targeted training to approximately 558,000 civil servants, developing executive leadership in the wider public sector, and to partner with public sector training bodies. The strategic goal of the National School is to shift away from the historically outsourced prime-supplier managed-service model. In its place, the Cabinet Office is building an insourced, hybrid capability. Under this new Future Operating Model (FOM), the Cabinet Office will directly manage core operations, standard curricula, and stakeholder engagement. However, expert external provision will remain a critical element of the programme. The National School transformation programme relies on three core, interdependent pillars to transition Civil Service training away from fully outsourced prime-supplier models toward an in-house, hybrid operating model by April 2028. Together, these pillars work to build direct relationships with suppliers, provide a modern digital learning infrastructure, and establish robust in-house operational workflows. Pillar 1: Future Supplier Partnerships (FSP) The FSP project serves as the commercial enabler of the new operating model, building the in-house capability required to buy learning services and manage supply chains directly. We aim to establish direct, value-driven contractual relationships with UK-based SMEs, universities, business schools, and niche providers. The project team have identified an indicative Three-Stage Roadmap to enable this delivery: Stage 1 (Immediate - April 2027): Procuring urgent digital and specialist training needs that cannot be fulfilled through existing frameworks. Stage 2 (April 2027-March 2028): Phased procurement for core, National School-sponsored curriculum, coaching, and talent programmes. Stage 3 (March 2028 onwards): On-going phased procurements falling out of Stages 1 and 2, depending on the length of contracts identified. The scope of the requirements will cover several key procurement categories, including, but not limited to, specialised coaching pools (including for neuro-diverse leaders), blended training delivery, learning design (retaining Crown Intellectual Property), access to subject matter experts including within academia, independent research and evaluation, helpdesk/admin surge, and off-the-shelf qualifications. Pillar 2: Future Technologies (FT) The Future Technologies project focuses on designing and implementing the digital architecture required to run a personalised training operation for approximately 558,000 civil servants. The core objective here is the setting up and integration of platforms to manage the access, booking, payments, and evaluation of learning materials. This involves transitioning away from heavy manual processes to maximise technological efficiencies. At this stage the project team has identified the central deliverable as a unified online portal allowing learners to access the full National School offering. Key technologies in scope for procurement include, but are not limited to, a new Learning Management System (LMS)/ Learning Experience Platform (LXP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems to centralise stakeholder engagement, and design/delivery tools. Pillar 3: Future Learning Operations (FLO) The Learning Operations project is responsible for building the actual systems, processes, and internal capabilities required to run the day-to-day training operations in-house. Their core objective is establishing an integrated operational function by April 2028 that supports over 558,000 civil servants in completing their learning journeys. It is highly dependent on the digital and commercial pillars to develop the underlying platforms that support operations.

The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is committed to understanding the factors that place children and young people at risk of violence, exploitation and harm, and to working collaboratively with partners to deliver long-term, sustainable solutions. We work across communities and sectors, including youth services, local government, education, health, policing and the voluntary and community sector, championing a public health approach that combines prevention, early intervention and effective support for those experiencing the greatest levels of risk and vulnerability. At the heart of our approach is the belief that violence is preventable, not inevitable. We recognise, however, that many children and young people are already navigating the impacts of trauma, exploitation, abuse and complex community dynamics. As such, our work seeks not only to prevent harm before it occurs, but also to strengthen the systems, services and trusted adults responsible for safeguarding, supporting and intervening with those most affected. Central to this approach is a commitment to partnership working, evidence-informed practice and ensuring that the voices, experiences and expertise of young people and communities shape the solutions designed to support them. The Mayor's Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is seeking to engage with the market in advance of a forthcoming procurement opportunity relating to the delivery of its flagship Digital Youth Work Pilot Programme. The programme forms part of the VRU's wider public health approach to violence reduction and sits within a London-wide model developed following extensive consultation with young people, practitioners, safeguarding professionals, academics and sector experts. Digital life brings clear benefits for many children. Ofcom found that 99% of 13–17-year-olds see at least one benefit to being online, including help with schoolwork, learning new skills and maintaining social connections. 93% of children in the UK play video games, and children report that gaming helps them socialise with friends, learn new skills and have fun, with most online interactions taking place with friends they already know offline. At the same time, the VRU is concerned that these same digital environments expose children and young people to a wide range of harms and risks. Digital safety is increasingly a public safety and public health concern. Children and young people are navigating identity, relationships, influence, exploitation and conflict across interconnected online and offline environments. However, systems, services and safeguarding responses have often struggled to keep pace with the rapidly evolving nature of digital spaces. This matters for the VRU because online harms do not sit separately from wider concerns about violence, vulnerability, exploitation and safeguarding. The VRU is seeking delivery partners to pilot innovative Digital Youth Work (DYW) approaches across London that drive new models of engagement with young people and promote safeguarding in digital spaces. The VRU is seeking approaches that: Design, deliver and test new or existing digital youth work models Extend trusted, relationship-based youth work into digital environments Strengthen early intervention, prevention and safeguarding online Generate learning, insight and practical outputs to strengthen future activity The programme aims not only to deliver effective pilot activity, but also to contribute to sector-wide innovation and the development of scalable models of digital youth work across London. Scope of delivery The programme will be structured into three complementary lots: Lot 1: Supporting High-Need and Digitally Dependent Young People Testing approaches that improve accessibility and engagement for young people who face barriers to traditional provision, including SEND. Lot 2: Early Intervention and Prevention of Online Harms Testing models that enable early identification, prevention and response to online risks, with a focus on safeguarding and preventative practice of deterring online to offline violence. Lot 3: Universal Digital Youth Work and Positive Opportunities Exploring how digital youth work can foster connection, creativity, play, participation and digital citizenship for all young people. Bidders may apply for one, two or all three lots. Applications may be submitted by individual organisations or as partnerships/consortia. Target Audience The programme will focus on delivering digital youth work to children and young people aged 11–25 across London, including but not limited to: Young people at higher risk of being impacted by online harms Those facing barriers to traditional youth provision, including SEND and young people who may be more digitally dependent and/or digitally excluded Young people experiencing vulnerability linked to violence, exploitation or disadvantage Young people with caring responsibilities Young people in the care system Young people affected by Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) The wider youth population through universal provision Potential delivery settings and workforces may include, but are not limited to: Community-based youth organisations and youth services Detached, outreach and neighbourhood-based provision Faith and community organisations SEND and disability-focused youth provision Organisations supporting young people experiencing vulnerability, exclusion or barriers to traditional youth provision Specialist services working with young people affected by violence, exploitation or online harms Informal education, mentoring and participation-based youth provision Indicative Outcomes The programme is expected to contribute to: Increased engagement of young people in safe, supportive digital environments Improved accessibility of youth work for young people who do not traditionally engage with youth work and are digitally dependent and/or digitally excluded) Strengthened early identification and prevention of online harms in the digital space Increased use of technology to foster positive opportunities Strengthen young people’s digital citizenship Increased workforce confidence and capability in incorporating digital youth work into traditional practice and safeguarding policy Development of scalable models, guidance and practical tools A stronger London-wide evidence base on digital youth work and online safety Timeframe and Budget The maximum estimated budget for this programme is up to £650,000 excl. VAT over a full contract period from November 2026 – March 2029, subject to confirmation of funding, internal governance and relevant approvals. This comprises: £390,000 core funding across the 2026/27 and 2027/28 financial years from November 2026 to March 2028 An extension option of up to £260,000 for a further 12 months from April 2028 The VRU welcomes bids from individual organisations as well as collaborative partnerships and consortia. We recognise that expertise may be distributed across different organisations, and we encourage applications that bring together complementary skills, knowledge and experience. Providers do not need to demonstrate strength across every area independently, provided that the partnership as a whole can evidence the required expertise and capacity to deliver the programme. This may include, for example, combining specialist knowledge in DYW, supporting SEND or neurodiverse children, digital safety, contextual safeguarding, fostering positive digital opportunities, and preventative violence reduction approaches. Market Engagement / Response The VRU welcomes engagement from organisations with expertise in: Youth work and youth engagement Digital youth work Gaming, AI, technology Safeguarding and contextual safeguarding Online harms, exploitation and violence prevention Working with vulnerable and hard-to-reach young people Youth participation and co-production Learning, evaluation and evidence generation If you are interested in the opportunity and meet the core capabilities as set out above, then please join us for our early market warming event on Wednesday 5th August 2026 at 10:00AM.

The Cabinet Office (Government Skills Group) is transforming the way learning and development (L&D) is designed, procured, and delivered across the Civil Service. Following the announcement by the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, the government is establishing the new National School of Government and Public Services (hereon The National School). The National School is tasked with delivering high-quality, targeted training to approximately 558,000 civil servants, developing executive leadership in the wider public sector, and to partner with public sector training bodies. The strategic goal of the National School is to shift away from the historically outsourced prime-supplier managed-service model. In its place, the Cabinet Office is building an insourced, hybrid capability. Under this new Future Operating Model (FOM), the Cabinet Office will directly manage core operations, standard curricula, and stakeholder engagement. However, expert external provision will remain a critical element of the programme. The National School transformation programme relies on three core, interdependent pillars to transition Civil Service training away from fully outsourced prime-supplier models toward an in-house, hybrid operating model by April 2028. Together, these pillars work to build direct relationships with suppliers, provide a modern digital learning infrastructure, and establish robust in-house operational workflows. Pillar 1: Future Supplier Partnerships (FSP) The FSP project serves as the commercial enabler of the new operating model, building the in-house capability required to buy learning services and manage supply chains directly. We aim to establish direct, value-driven contractual relationships with UK-based SMEs, universities, business schools, and niche providers. The project team have identified an indicative Three-Stage Roadmap to enable this delivery: Stage 1 (Immediate - April 2027): Procuring urgent digital and specialist training needs that cannot be fulfilled through existing frameworks. Stage 2 (April 2027-March 2028): Phased procurement for core, National School-sponsored curriculum, coaching, and talent programmes. Stage 3 (March 2028 onwards): On-going phased procurements falling out of Stages 1 and 2, depending on the length of contracts identified. The scope of the requirements will cover several key procurement categories, including, but not limited to, specialised coaching pools (including for neuro-diverse leaders), blended training delivery, learning design (retaining Crown Intellectual Property), access to subject matter experts including within academia, independent research and evaluation, helpdesk/admin surge, and off-the-shelf qualifications. Pillar 2: Future Technologies (FT) The Future Technologies project focuses on designing and implementing the digital architecture required to run a personalised training operation for approximately 558,000 civil servants. The core objective here is the setting up and integration of platforms to manage the access, booking, payments, and evaluation of learning materials. This involves transitioning away from heavy manual processes to maximise technological efficiencies. At this stage the project team has identified the central deliverable as a unified online portal allowing learners to access the full National School offering. Key technologies in scope for procurement include, but are not limited to, a new Learning Management System (LMS)/ Learning Experience Platform (LXP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems to centralise stakeholder engagement, and design/delivery tools. Pillar 3: Future Learning Operations (FLO) The Learning Operations project is responsible for building the actual systems, processes, and internal capabilities required to run the day-to-day training operations in-house. Their core objective is establishing an integrated operational function by April 2028 that supports over 558,000 civil servants in completing their learning journeys. It is highly dependent on the digital and commercial pillars to develop the underlying platforms that support operations.

Prior to formally launching this opportunity, we are hosting a virtual engagement forum on Tuesday 6th October, 15:30 – 17:00. This will be a chance for organisations to learn more about our ambitions, feed into the development of our approach and discuss any ideas and suggestions they may have to collaboratively improve the health of children and young people. NHS England recognises the Department of Health and Social Care has recently launched a Child Poverty Market engagement notice https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062438-2026 . While there are some shared themes, the two initiatives have separate objectives. The DHSC programme is focused specifically on child poverty, whereas this market engagement seeks to explore a broader range of opportunities to improve outcomes for babies, children and young people. Since this is neither a call for competition nor a procurement, for administrative and technical reasons, it's been assigned a monetary value of £0. ocds-h6vhtk-06f6e3 Tue, 15 Sep 2026 14:05:11 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06f9e1 Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office - The Syria Education Programme III (SEP III) aims to support the Syrian Ministry of Education in realising their reform agenda by providing targeted technical assistance.

The Cabinet Office (Government Skills Group) is transforming the way learning and development (L&D) is designed, procured, and delivered across the Civil Service. Following the announcement by the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, the government is establishing the new National School of Government and Public Services (hereon The National School). The National School is tasked with delivering high-quality, targeted training to approximately 558,000 civil servants, developing executive leadership in the wider public sector, and to partner with public sector training bodies. The strategic goal of the National School is to shift away from the historically outsourced prime-supplier managed-service model. In its place, the Cabinet Office is building an insourced, hybrid capability. Under this new Future Operating Model (FOM), the Cabinet Office will directly manage core operations, standard curricula, and stakeholder engagement. However, expert external provision will remain a critical element of the programme. The National School transformation programme relies on three core, interdependent pillars to transition Civil Service training away from fully outsourced prime-supplier models toward an in-house, hybrid operating model by April 2028. Together, these pillars work to build direct relationships with suppliers, provide a modern digital learning infrastructure, and establish robust in-house operational workflows. Pillar 1: Future Supplier Partnerships (FSP) The FSP project serves as the commercial enabler of the new operating model, building the in-house capability required to buy learning services and manage supply chains directly. We aim to establish direct, value-driven contractual relationships with UK-based SMEs, universities, business schools, and niche providers. The project team have identified an indicative Three-Stage Roadmap to enable this delivery: Stage 1 (Immediate - April 2027): Procuring urgent digital and specialist training needs that cannot be fulfilled through existing frameworks. Stage 2 (April 2027-March 2028): Phased procurement for core, National School-sponsored curriculum, coaching, and talent programmes. Stage 3 (March 2028 onwards): On-going phased procurements falling out of Stages 1 and 2, depending on the length of contracts identified. The scope of the requirements will cover several key procurement categories, including, but not limited to, specialised coaching pools (including for neuro-diverse leaders), blended training delivery, learning design (retaining Crown Intellectual Property), access to subject matter experts including within academia, independent research and evaluation, helpdesk/admin surge, and off-the-shelf qualifications. Pillar 2: Future Technologies (FT) The Future Technologies project focuses on designing and implementing the digital architecture required to run a personalised training operation for approximately 558,000 civil servants. The core objective here is the setting up and integration of platforms to manage the access, booking, payments, and evaluation of learning materials. This involves transitioning away from heavy manual processes to maximise technological efficiencies. At this stage the project team has identified the central deliverable as a unified online portal allowing learners to access the full National School offering. Key technologies in scope for procurement include, but are not limited to, a new Learning Management System (LMS)/ Learning Experience Platform (LXP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems to centralise stakeholder engagement, and design/delivery tools. Pillar 3: Future Learning Operations (FLO) The Learning Operations project is responsible for building the actual systems, processes, and internal capabilities required to run the day-to-day training operations in-house. Their core objective is establishing an integrated operational function by April 2028 that supports over 558,000 civil servants in completing their learning journeys. It is highly dependent on the digital and commercial pillars to develop the underlying platforms that support operations.

On 7 September 2026, the current Secretary of State said: "The Prime Minister is really clear that the Government's ambition is to ensure that every area in England has, or is in the process of establishing, a strategic authority by the end of 2027, with strategic authorities in place everywhere by the end of 2028". Should LGR and/or devolution processes lead to unitary local government in Norfolk and/or to the establishment of a strategic authority covering Norfolk (i) the Framework may be transferred, assigned or novated to any successor authority(ies) to the county council, or to any joint body incorporating or formed by any such successor and/or to any strategic authority; and/or (ii) the council or a successor authority or joint body may order services on behalf of other local authorities serving any area within Norfolk's current geographical boundaries.

This exercise is being created to replace the previous exercise called Live Fire Training Building (but with the same reference number) as we ran into portal constraints that blocked this being an open tender open to all new interested parties. To do so we had to cease the previous exercise and commence a new one. Our intention is to replace essentially what we have now on a like for like basis but taking into account some design changes identified that will improve both flexibility in use and reduce the impact we have on the environment. We have a fairly clear idea of what we want, and that we can afford it, and believe we have a basic understanding of who might be able to supply what we require in a fairly small niche market. However, the aim of this document is to allow the market to confirm, or otherwise, our assumptions and for us to gather some information that will allow us to prepare an equitable tender that any capable supplier could bid for. As well as establishing capable suppliers we are very keen to establish whether this can be achieved as a single supplier integrated project, or not. Whilst we may consider alternative innovative approaches, we believe that a steel framed metal structure or container-based solution is likely to be all that we can afford and of which, we have a lot of experience being the basis of the current unit.

UHS provides a regional endoscopy service to a population of 3m+, offering a comprehensive range of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Following a fire earlier this year, UHS has reviewed its long-term endoscopy requirements and is considering a new purpose-built regional diagnostic endoscopy centre situated close to the main hospital. UHS has existing endoscopy equipment to the value of approximately £8-10m. This will need to be refreshed throughout this contract. UHS has an indicative budget of £20-25m for the design and construction of the new centre. This will be designed to meet current and projected future endoscopy and motility needs, 'a one-stop-shop' and be an important centre to both trial new technology and techniques and provide training for the next generation of the endoscopy workforce. This opportunity is to explore and discuss how a partnership approach may drive better outcomes for patients, for innovation, for UHS clinicians, and for the partner[S(1.1][L(1.2]. This opportunity may include, but not necessarily be limited to: 1: Provision of endoscopy equipment to a new offsite location, both for the use of clinicians undertaking NHS clinical activity, and for use as a test bed for innovation and new technique development, and for use within a training environment. 2: Regional Training Centre: The physical co-location of experienced UHS staff, clinicians, data, patients with an industry partner seeking to promote best practice and create future workforce. 3: Joint Innovation Deal & Test Bed: The provision of a live, data-rich NHS environment to validate new technology, and techniques, for example artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic tools and ergonomic designs and potentially the exploitation of emerging shared Intellectual Property. This would also include SME and VCSE participation for research and innovation. 4: Commercial Sponsorship Opportunity with Associated Rights and Benefits: In addition to the core procurement opportunities above, there is potential to explore a complementary commercial sponsorship arrangement, which may include the provision of value-in-kind goods and/or services that support contract delivery. This strategic partnership approach would identify and agree a range of associated rights and benefits for suppliers who also become sponsors. These may include appropriate sponsor recognition, opportunities for collaboration and innovation, shared learning, thought leadership engagement, and other mutually agreed activities that support the objectives of all parties. UHS, with support from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), is trialling the integration of commercial sponsorship into this procurement opportunity to explore how strategic partnerships can deliver additional value while supporting the successful delivery of contract outcomes. Whilst this notice is not intended to create a commitment to a contract, it is running alongside a live funded NHS capital project to develop designs and take forward the concept of a regional endoscopy centre. This hybrid procurement and sponsorship model is being piloted by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and UHS, offering potential suppliers a unique opportunity to play an active role in delivering a best-in-class new facility for patients: supporting improved care, championing innovation and delivering lasting benefits for all parties. To ensure fair and open competition in any future procurement, the developing design and specification will remain supplier-neutral and will not be tailored to any specific manufacturer, supplier or solution. ocds-h6vhtk-06f48e Tue, 08 Sep 2026 13:49:09 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06f48c Construction Industry Training Board - CITB are inviting bids to deliver a continuation of the existing Shared Apprenticeship Scheme covering South West and South East Wales.

The Cabinet Office (Government Skills Group) is transforming the way learning and development (L&D) is designed, procured, and delivered across the Civil Service. Following the announcement by the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, the government is establishing the new National School of Government and Public Services (hereon The National School). The National School is tasked with delivering high-quality, targeted training to approximately 558,000 civil servants, developing executive leadership in the wider public sector, and to partner with public sector training bodies. The strategic goal of the National School is to shift away from the historically outsourced prime-supplier managed-service model. In its place, the Cabinet Office is building an insourced, hybrid capability. Under this new Future Operating Model (FOM), the Cabinet Office will directly manage core operations, standard curricula, and stakeholder engagement. However, expert external provision will remain a critical element of the programme. The National School transformation programme relies on three core, interdependent pillars to transition Civil Service training away from fully outsourced prime-supplier models toward an in-house, hybrid operating model by April 2028. Together, these pillars work to build direct relationships with suppliers, provide a modern digital learning infrastructure, and establish robust in-house operational workflows. Pillar 1: Future Supplier Partnerships (FSP) The FSP project serves as the commercial enabler of the new operating model, building the in-house capability required to buy learning services and manage supply chains directly. We aim to establish direct, value-driven contractual relationships with UK-based SMEs, universities, business schools, and niche providers. The project team have identified an indicative Three-Stage Roadmap to enable this delivery: Stage 1 (Immediate - April 2027): Procuring urgent digital and specialist training needs that cannot be fulfilled through existing frameworks. Stage 2 (April 2027-March 2028): Phased procurement for core, National School-sponsored curriculum, coaching, and talent programmes. Stage 3 (March 2028 onwards): On-going phased procurements falling out of Stages 1 and 2, depending on the length of contracts identified. The scope of the requirements will cover several key procurement categories, including, but not limited to, specialised coaching pools (including for neuro-diverse leaders), blended training delivery, learning design (retaining Crown Intellectual Property), access to subject matter experts including within academia, independent research and evaluation, helpdesk/admin surge, and off-the-shelf qualifications. Pillar 2: Future Technologies (FT) The Future Technologies project focuses on designing and implementing the digital architecture required to run a personalised training operation for approximately 558,000 civil servants. The core objective here is the setting up and integration of platforms to manage the access, booking, payments, and evaluation of learning materials. This involves transitioning away from heavy manual processes to maximise technological efficiencies. At this stage the project team has identified the central deliverable as a unified online portal allowing learners to access the full National School offering. Key technologies in scope for procurement include, but are not limited to, a new Learning Management System (LMS)/ Learning Experience Platform (LXP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems to centralise stakeholder engagement, and design/delivery tools. Pillar 3: Future Learning Operations (FLO) The Learning Operations project is responsible for building the actual systems, processes, and internal capabilities required to run the day-to-day training operations in-house. Their core objective is establishing an integrated operational function by April 2028 that supports over 558,000 civil servants in completing their learning journeys. It is highly dependent on the digital and commercial pillars to develop the underlying platforms that support operations.

TfL works together in long standing partnerships with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to jointly operate and administer speed enforcement in London. This shared responsibility includes the management of red light and speed camera offences on the network. This activity contributes significantly to the Mayor's targets for casualty reduction and the objective to eliminate death and serious injury on London's roads by 2041. The camera network also contributes significantly to traffic management, keeping traffic moving in a safe, compliant and efficient manner. It is well documented that speed or inappropriate speed contributes to a significant percentage of all collisions and a higher percentage of more serious collisions. The National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) has been developed to offer drivers the opportunity to benefit from improving their driving attitudes and skills following a police intervention. Eligible drivers are offered the opportunity to complete a course as a voluntary alternative to their offence being dealt with through the Criminal Justice System. NDORS has been established by the police service in collaboration with the National Association of Driver Intervention Providers (NADIP). The police service has formed the Road Safety Trust (RST), a charity, to provide the business support to the scheme through UK Road Offender Education (UKROEd). All NDORS courses and associated material are registered with the Intellectual Property Office and protected in law, in order to ensure the quality is at a sustainable high standard and courses are consistent allowing the offender to attend anywhere in the UK and receive the same education. The course provider and individual instructors and trainers must operate under a licence issued by UKROEd. ocds-h6vhtk-052544 Fri, 04 Sep 2026 15:08:40 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06f21a UHI Perth - The Authority is seeking Contractor(s) for delivery of BSc Aircraft Engineering.

It will be designed to support unemployed Universal Credit claimants into sustained employment through personalised support, stronger employer engagement, local integration, and specialist provision. It will respond to individual needs and regional labour market priorities. Seetec are taking an inclusive two-stage approach to building strong local partnerships. We are inviting organisations to complete stage one of a two stage process. This first stage is a light-touch Expression of interest (EOI), designed to help us to understand your organisation, your local presence, your specialist capability and your interest in working with us. The second stage will be a more detailed Request for Information (RFI) for shortlisted organisations, which will be weighted and scored to support partner selection, supply chain design and future co-design activity. At Seetec, we recognise the time and resource commitment that partner engagement processes can place on organisations, particularly SMEs, VCSEs, and specialist providers. We have therefore separated this process into two stages so that all interested organisations can express interest without needing to complete a full scored submission at the outset. We are inviting organisations of all sizes to register their interest in partnering with Seetec. We are particularly interested in organisations with strong local connections, specialist expertise, trusted stakeholder relationships and innovative approaches to supporting people into work. This initial EOI is intentionally light-touch and has been designed to understand your organisation, your local presence, and specialist expertise. Whether you are an SME, VCSE, charity, social enterprise, specialist provider, or larger delivery organisation, we want to hear from you. If you share our ambition to deliver locally integrated, high-quality support, we look forward to learning more about your organisation.

Our intention is to replace essentially what we have now on a like for like basis but taking into account some design changes identified that will improve both flexibility in use and reduce the impact we have on the environment. The response to the Preliminary Market Engagement exercise seemed to indicate that we may not be able to achieve our aim of having a single supplier who will work with us to finalise the design then build it from start to finish. This would be our preference to avoid system integration issues and to be working with a single supplier responsible for everything. As a result this tender will allow for tenders from suppliers who can provide the end to end product but if we are correct in this niche market that may not be achievable, we will allow bids from suppliers who can only supply the training systems along with the smoke scrubber plant (with ongoing maintenance for a period to be agreed after completion) and separately will allow bids from suppliers who can only supply the building units in and onto which the plant and systems will be integrated. Whilst we may consider alternative approaches, like a steel framed metal structure, we believe a container-based solution is likely to be all that we can afford and of which, we have a lot of experience being the basis of the current unit and against which our current design is based. This Tender will be managed electronically via the In-Tend Portal. It can be reached via: https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/home. Contractors need to be registered to use the portal and registered against us as a Contracting Entity, but registration is free and further information on how this is achieved, can be found at: https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/register.

Currently the site consists of the Boat House Café, toilets, car park, lake, play and picnic areas, an events field along with large areas of open space. There are two tenanted areas used for flying model aircraft and miniature gauge railway. A shared access road provides both for the coastal park and also the adjacent Sea Cadet Corps. As well as being an active leisure site, the coastal park also has extensive wildlife and biodiversity habitats and these remain important to both protect and potentially utilise as a resource. The Council provided a new toilet block, including showers and ancillary facilities, in 2023. These are available for the benefit of visitors to Bartons Point. The existing drainage provision is via a cesspool. The Council is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) for two opportunities at Barton’s Point Coastal Park. The Council is open to EOI’s for each of Lots 1 and 2, individually or consolidated proposals which seek to meet both requirements. For both opportunities, the Council is seeking experienced operators that can demonstrate not only the financial viability of any proposals but also how social value will be delivered. Proposals also need to be sympathetic to the ecology of the site, with consideration for the environment and wildlife and the adjacent Queenborough Lines waterway, which is a scheduled ancient monument. Whilst acknowledging there is a seasonality to the types and level of activity on the site, the Council is keen to encourage activity throughout the year and this will be reflected in how proposals are considered. As the site has multiple users, with other leased areas, it is also important that proposals can work alongside or with these. It is anticipated that the Council will continue to provide basic grounds maintenance services to the whole site. The playground and bridge also remain the council’s responsibility. Operators on site will be responsible for general site maintenance relating to their activity, such as litter generated from their operations, signage for activities etc. Lot 1: The Old Boathouse Café The old boathouse is a block frame, timber clad building with corrugated roof of the shore of the lake with a self-contained patio area (please see map 1 below). The property provides a good opportunity for a provider to deliver a food & beverage provision for the coastal park and a lease will be offered to the preferred bidder, when identified. The Council is keen that bidders should demonstrate strong community values in how the Café offer operates. We ask that EOI’s show how the proposed operation contributes positively to how the site delivers social value; for instance by facilitating programmes, events, and activities that strengthen local connections and promote inclusive use of the Coastal Park. The building has benefited from some refurbishment in recent years but is of basic construction. It is the intention that the terms of occupation will require the successful bidder to maintain the building and undertake improvements required, subject to the Councils consent. The internal part of the building will be cleared of all existing equipment and fittings ahead of occupation. Bidders are therefore advised to inspect the building and carefully consider the cost of providing catering equipment and any necessary works before submitting in their EOI. Lot 2: Outdoor Learning The Council invites proposals which bring structured inclusive outdoor learning opportunities to Bartons Point. This may involve collaboration with local organisations, schools and community partners to create meaningful learning opportunities that support wellbeing, environmental awareness, and lifelong learning. These could be operated from the Lot 1 café building if agreement is reached or from temporary structures within the park supplied by the chosen provider, to be agreed with the Council. The Council is open-minded as to the nature of proposed activity and any provider will be able to work with the Council’s Greenspaces Ranger, to facilitate activity. There is an area of grass alongside the lake which is suitable for camping during the summer season and use and management of the lake which may be of interest to Bidders, but individual operators would need to satisfy themselves that proposals would be compliant with all regulatory requirements, including planning and any H&S regulations. Please submit your EOI by 12pm on Monday 5th October 2026 to jayjenkins@swale.gov.uk. Please include the following information: •Terms of occupation being sought (the Council will be seeking a minimum of 3 years) •Annual rent being offered to SBC •A basic Business Plan that demonstrates that the proposal is viable and sustainable for the duration of operation. Your proposal should include details of the operation including the following: Evidence of previous experience/operations of a similar nature Detail of the activity and/or food and beverage offer to be provided Proposed operating dates and times If intention to make use of the lake then an operation management plan Any marketing proposals Details of any other events or activities proposed to increase community engagement and visitor numbers Some detail as to how social value will be secured from the operation and what benefits you expect to be delivered. Financial projections demonstrating a strong viability, showing profit & loss forecasts and any surplus in addition to a cash-flow for at least 3 years, Details of how any planned repairs and improvements will be funded (e.g., grant funding, personal savings, temporary rent concession, etc). Two business references Supporting Documents Plan 1: A historic site plan, showing the extent of the site. This reflects both current and historic uses, with the pitch and putt and camping area. Plan 2: Plan showing the location of the Old Boat House Café and enclosed patio. A copy of the Environmental Report produced for Bartons Point is available on request Please email graemetuff@swale.gov.uk or jayjenkins@swale.gov.uk for any further information or to arrange to view the premises. ocds-h6vhtk-06f0fb Thu, 03 Sep 2026 10:21:28 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06f0cc Scottish Government - Scottish Government is seeking the provision of a Procurement and Project Delivery Training Framework on behalf of the Scottish Ministers to support the professionalisation of public procurement and project delivery in Scotland.

These provisions are typically commissioned by local authorities, schools or multi-academy trusts to meet the needs of pupils who require a different approach to education and support. Including Education Otherwise Than at School (EOTAS). Alternative Provision serves a diverse group of learners, including those who have been permanently excluded, are at risk of exclusion, experience significant social, emotional or mental health difficulties, have medical needs that prevent regular school attendance or require additional support to engage effectively in education. In some cases, NSAP may also be used to support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) where their needs cannot currently be met within a school setting. The use of NSAP does not remove the Local Authority's duty under Section 42 of the Children and Families Act 2014 to secure the special educational provision specified in an Education, Health and Care Plan. NSAP can take a variety of forms, including specialist tuition services, vocational learning programmes, therapeutic education providers, outdoor learning environments and online or blended learning models. These settings often provide smaller class sizes, more personalised learning programmes and additional pastoral or therapeutic support to help pupils overcome barriers to learning. The primary aim of NSAP is to ensure that children and young people continue to receive a suitable education while addressing the underlying factors that may be affecting their engagement, attendance or achievement. Provision may be designed to support a pupil's successful reintegration into a school setting or to provide longer-term educational arrangements where this is considered to be in the learner's best interests. Within the context of local authority commissioning and SEND services, non-school Alternative Provision plays an important role in maintaining educational access and improving outcomes for vulnerable learners.

These provisions are typically commissioned by local authorities, schools or multi-academy trusts to meet the needs of pupils who require a different approach to education and support. Including Education Otherwise Than at School (EOTAS). Alternative Provision serves a diverse group of learners, including those who have been permanently excluded, are at risk of exclusion, experience significant social, emotional or mental health difficulties, have medical needs that prevent regular school attendance or require additional support to engage effectively in education. In some cases, NSAP may also be used to support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) where their needs cannot currently be met within a school setting. The use of NSAP does not remove the Local Authority's duty under Section 42 of the Children and Families Act 2014 to secure the special educational provision specified in an Education, Health and Care Plan. NSAP can take a variety of forms, including specialist tuition services, vocational learning programmes, therapeutic education providers, outdoor learning environments and online or blended learning models. These settings often provide smaller class sizes, more personalised learning programmes and additional pastoral or therapeutic support to help pupils overcome barriers to learning. The primary aim of NSAP is to ensure that children and young people continue to receive a suitable education while addressing the underlying factors that may be affecting their engagement, attendance or achievement. Provision may be designed to support a pupil's successful reintegration into a school setting or to provide longer-term educational arrangements where this is considered to be in the learner's best interests. Within the context of local authority commissioning and SEND services, non-school Alternative Provision plays an important role in maintaining educational access and improving outcomes for vulnerable learners. Effective commissioning arrangements include robust quality assurance, safeguarding oversight, monitoring of attendance and progress, and regular review to ensure that provision continues to meet the needs of the child or young person and delivers value for money.

To direct product development, investment and campaign activity effectively, VE requires a complete, consistent and current view of England's tourism product and experience, segmented against priority market segments and viewable at LVEP region level. VE does not currently hold this view in a single, structured and maintainable form. A manual audit at national scale would be slow, inconsistent and quickly out of date, and would not provide LVEPs with usable, region-level insight on where their product can be improved. VE therefore wishes to appoint a Supplier, or Suppliers, with strong and demonstrable artificial intelligence (AI) expertise to deliver an AI-enabled product and experience audit, a national AI-based analytical tool that turns the audited inventory into actionable outputs filterable by LVEP region, and training that builds the capability of the LVEP network to use these outputs. VE has carried out, or commissioned, initial audit work and will make this available to the appointed Supplier where possible. VE will also request product listings from LVEPs and will provide a data schema that the audit output is required to follow. The intention is that the Supplier builds on and enhances this existing work, minimising duplication and giving the AI a sound starting basis. OVERVIEW OF REQUIREMENT AND LOT STRUCTURE The requirement is divided into two lots: • Lot 1: Product and Experience Audit and Tools. • Lot 2: Training and Knowledge Transfer. Tenderers may bid for Lot 1, Lot 2 or both lots. A single Supplier may be awarded one or both lots, and the lots may also be awarded to separate Suppliers. Each lot will be evaluated separately. Note on AI: VE requires demonstrable AI expertise but does not mandate a specific AI model, platform or vendor. Tenderers are free to propose the technology stack that best meets the requirement, subject to the intellectual property, data protection, security and accessibility requirements set out below. ocds-h6vhtk-06eb3e Tue, 25 Aug 2026 10:32:09 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06eb0c West Yorkshire Combined Authority - West Yorkshire Combined Authority as the Contracting Authority for West Yorkshire Police are getting ready to tender for the Role actors for specialist interview course requirements.

This Open Framework is for the provision of Alternative Provision (Education) Services. Nottingham City Council is seeking Tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified providers to establish a multi-Lot, multi-Supplier Open Framework of independent Alternative Education Provision Suppliers in compliance with the Act. This Procurement consists of Lots as detailed below: Lot 1 - SEND & Specialist Education Lot 2 - Crisis & Stabilisation Lot 3 - Core Education, Post-16 & Long-Term AP The Authority is seeking to put in place an Open Framework to establish the initial Framework and appoint one or more Framework Members to deliver services. This Procurement is intended to set up a list of approved Framework Members. There is no limit to the number of Suppliers who can be Framework Members. Contract Award Procedures will then be conducted, and Call-off contracts will then be awarded. The Open Framework Mechanism allows the Authority to 're-open' the Framework to new Framework Members, while allow existing Framework members to also remain as Framework Members. The Authority reserves the right to re-open the Framework to new potential Framework Members when it deems it is required to ensure: • Procurement legislation is complied with. • Capacity requirements can be met. • To ensure adequate competition in the Call-off Award Procedure. • To meet needs that are not satisfied by current Framework Members. • Increased area to serve due to Local Government Re-organisation. • Other reasons deemed reasonable by the Authority. The Authority will post a Tender Notice on Find Tender Service/CDP when it re-opens the Framework for new Tender submissions. As this Procurement is for a 'Light Touch Contract', the process and award of Call-off contracts may include some flexibilities permitted by this Special Regime of the Procurement Act (2023) and the Schools exemptions. The Framework will consist of Independent Schools (privately funded, including public schools) and Independent Providers. Publicly Owned/Funded Schools (inc LA maintained schools, faith schools, grammar schools, state boarding schools, voluntary schools), Academy Trusts and Free Schools do not need to register or apply to be on this framework as awards to these organisations are exempt under the Procurement Act 2023. This is a light touch special regime contract as per Sections 8 and 9 of the Procurement Act 2023. The process to be used will be the Open Procedure as per Section 20 of the Procurement Act 2023. Users of the Framework There will be numerous users of the Framework (Framework User) that will be able to award Call-off Contracts via this Framework. The main Framework User is anticipated to be Raleigh Educational Trust (PPON) is PHWL-2499-QDND. Other Framework Users will fall into the following categories if they are in the Nottingham City Council authority boundary area: • Publicly Owned/Funded Schools (inc LA maintained schools, faith schools, grammar schools, state boarding schools, voluntary schools) • Pupil Referral Unit (RET) • Academies / Multi Academy Trusts • Free Schools TUPE The initial tendering of this Procurement does not give rise to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) 2006 Regulations, as no existing services are being transferred. Where existing services are reviewed and put out as a Call-off Award Procedure opportunity then TUPE may be considered in each relevant case. Consideration of SME's SME's have been considered as below: • Advanced notice promoted via Pipeline Notice. • PME Process • Requirement split via Lots. • Longer than required bid time provided. • No insurance required at Framework stage. • Low liability cap amounts. • Framework can be re-opened for new SME's/Suppliers Framework Term The first framework for a term of up to three years starting from 14 April 2027 to 13 April 2030 and a second framework for a term of up to a further five years from 14 April 2030 to 13 April 2035. The actual Framework dates and number of Frameworks are indicative only, but the total Term is of all Frameworks added together is a maximum of eight years. In the event that only one supplier is appointed to any individual Framework in the scheme of Frameworks during the open Framework Period then the maximum term for the Framework, and the open Framework, will be 4 years from the date on which the single supplier Framework is awarded. PME Pre-market Engagement has been undertaken and Notice was published on the CDP on the 25 March 2026, notice reference2026/S 000-027146. Tender Modifications The Authority reserves the right to: • Refine/modify the Procurement process and/or terms • Refine the Pass / Fall Criteria • 'Roll' the Procurement back to an appropriate previous stage. • Refine the Specification • Refine the Framework Agreement LGR Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is the process in which the structure and responsibilities of local authorities are reconfigured. The Government has set out plans to move away from the current two-tier system of county and district councils which are in place in some parts of county of Nottinghamshire and other parts of England. The Authority has now received the Government's proposed decision regarding LGR in Nottinghamshire and it will extend the boundary area for Nottingham City Council's successor organisation. There is some uncertainty over the exact timing of when the new structure will be implemented but the latest information is that the Authority will remain in their current format until at least April 2028. The period of all Contracts, Frameworks and Call-off Contracts under this Procurement is likely to be impacted by LGR. The current intention is that this Contract / Framework / Call-off Contract would continue following any new implemented structure. As a consequence of LGR, any resulting Contract, Framework Agreement or Call Off Contract may be required to be transferred, assigned or novated (in whole or in part) to one or more successor authorities or other public bodies established as part of LGR, in accordance with applicable legislation. Suppliers acknowledge and accept that the Authority must comply with all statutory, regulatory and other legal requirements arising in connection with LGR and, to the extent necessary to do so, reserves the right to make such amendments to the procurement arrangements and/or any resulting Contract, Framework Agreement or Call Off Contract as are required or permitted by law. Suppliers must submit their Tender on the basis that such transfer, assignment, novation or amendment may occur and that no additional charges, price adjustments or termination rights shall arise solely as a result of LGR. Any reasonable steps taken by the Authority or a successor authority to notify Suppliers of matters arising from LGR shall be sufficient for the purposes of this procurement. Following the identification of the above known risks, the Authority reserves the right to modify the Agreement/Call-off Contract and scope during the term of the Framework in accordance with Schedule 8, Paragraphs 1, 5 and 8 of the Procurement Act 2023. Clarifications/Questions/Inquiries All questions/clarifications must be submitted via the Portal (more details below). Do not expect emails/calls to be responded to. All Suppliers should access the 'Messages' section of the e-procurement system (The Portal) on a regular basis to check for any clarifications issued on this project and/or any public exchange of information between interested parties, before final submission of their bid. It is the sole responsibility of Suppliers to do so.

Natural England has been exploring the use of these methods for environmental monitoring for several years, delivering a series of reports which focus on the development of DNA-based methods with potential in a particular area. These methods are now being used more widely within Natural England, particularly the detection of ecological communities using environmental DNA (eDNA). This is often conducted by employing metabarcoding assays which target specific species assemblages (e.g. fish, mammals) or broader taxonomic groups (e.g. vertebrates, invertebrates, bacteria). The DNA Team aims to operationalise DNA-based methods and produces guidance for using them in monitoring projects. In order to provide sound recommendations, it is important that we understand the limitations of, and uncertainties with, DNA-based methods. Natural England staff need to be able to understand how DNA-derived data can be used, and the confidence they can have in data derived using different DNA-based methods which have been validated to different stages. Natural England previously commissioned the development of a framework to enable end users to assess confidence in metabarcoding assays and results (Pagaling and others, under review; a copy of the framework can be provided by Natural England upon request by emailing monitoring.innovation@naturalengland.org.uk). By using the checklist and levelled scale, end users can appropriately interpret results. It also provides validation and reporting standards for the development of new metabarcoding assays. The framework will enable end-users to determine the recommended scenarios for application of a given assay and improve assay performance with further validation. This project will advance the metabarcoding assay validation framework by expanding upon previous work to conduct a further literature review and meta-analysis, covering more assays being used for different purposes and in different contexts. In addition beta testing of the framework and user guide will be required, as well as the creation and delivery of training materials and course . ocds-h6vhtk-06d396 Tue, 11 Aug 2026 11:54:32 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-061261 SUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION LIMITED - Supply Chain Coordination Limited (“NHS Supply Chain”) is developing a Medical Simulation and Technologies Framework.

The overall aims of the Skills Bootcamps are: o To deliver flexible training programmes lasting up to 16 weeks, based on employer / sector ‘in-demand’ skills needs which may be either regulated (i.e. qualification based) or non-regulated (e.g. based on alignment with industry standards) enabling adults to do training around work and other commitments, looking to gain work, additional responsibilities, or access new opportunities and will offer a guaranteed job interview (in the case of a new job) to individual participants on completion of the course. o To address the needs of adults (19+) who are full-time and part-time employed, unemployed, returning to work after a break or self-employed, and provide individuals with wider access to opportunities to retrain, update or formalise their skills or acquire specialist skills. o To address the needs of employers and the wider economy, to deliver targeted interventions to meet short-medium term demand to fill vacancies and drive productivity. They will help fill medium-higher level vacancies and bring individuals closer to better jobs, by linking them with line of sight to a job/ different role, additional responsibilities or new opportunities/contracts o To help fill vacancies and bring individuals closer to better jobs (including those currently in employment), by linking them with line of sight to a job / different role, additional responsibilities or new opportunities / contracts c. We initially tested Skills Bootcamps in a range of Digital Skills such as digital marketing, software development and cyber security from Autumn 2020 and have expanded across England to include a wider range of more technical and specialist courses such as construction, retrofit, electro technical, photonics, marine design, electrical installation and more. There must be evidence of demand for the skills developed through the Skills Bootcamp, including evidence of vacancies in the local labour market. Providers must cite the evidence they are relying on regarding local labour market needs and demonstrate due regard to the skills analysis and priorities of Local Partners, Skills Advisory Panels, Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCA), Local Authorities (LA), etc and show how they align with Local Skills Improvement Plan(s). Until now, priority sectors for Skills Bootcamps have been Construction and the Built Environment, Engineering and Manufacturing, Digital, Creative and Design, Business and Administration, Education and Early Years and Transport and Logistics. However, Skills England have identified 8 Industrial Strategy priorities (Advanced Manufacturing, Clean Energy, Digital Technologies, Life Sciences, Creative Industries, Financial Services and more.

The Council reserves the right at any time to cease the procurement process and not award the Contract or to award only part of the opportunity described in this notice. If the Council takes up this right, then they will not be responsible for or pay the expenses or losses, which may be incurred by any organisation or tenderer as a result. In February 2025 the UK Government formally invited Hertfordshire County Council (the ”Council”) and the various district and borough Councils of Hertfordshire (see attached - District and borough councils | Hertfordshire County Council) to develop proposals for local government reorganisation in Hertfordshire which is likely to result in the current two-tier system of local government being reorganised into a single tier of local government with one or more unitary councils for the whole of the Hertfordshire area. If implemented, local government reorganisation is currently expected to take effect in April 2028 and, on that date, the existing two-tier councils will be dissolved and replaced by one or more new unitary authorities. Existing contracts held by the Council and the district and borough Councils of Hertfordshire are expected to transfer to their successor authorities on vesting day in accordance with the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 and the Local Government (Structural Changes) (Transfer of Functions, Property, Rights and Liabilities) Regulations 2008. These reforms will be subject to a decision of the Secretary of State and could be subject to change at any time. As these reforms may occur during the term of this contract and result in changes to the form, structure, size and shape of local government in Hertfordshire, they are a known risk to the Council within the meaning of paragraph 6, Schedule 8 of the Procurement Act 2023 (Act) in that the reforms could jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the contract but because the nature and extent of the reforms are presently unknown, it is not possible to address the risks in the contract. If these risks materialise, the contract may need to be modified under paragraph 5 of Schedule 8 of the Act. Such modification could include, but not be limited to, the need to replace the contracting authority with a successor public authority and/or vary the structure, scope, nature and/or geographical location/boundary within which the contract is delivered. Tenderers should note that any variation(s) to the terms and conditions of the contract will be made in accordance with its terms. ocds-h6vhtk-06e056 Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:06:53 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06e031 NHS England - For the continued provision of diagnostic assessment for dyslexia and specialist dyslexia coaching for doctors and dentists in training for London & Kent, Surrey & Sussex. ocds-h6vhtk-06e031 Mon, 10 Aug 2026 14:06:41 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06e029 Leicester City Council - Leicester City Council ('the Council') would like to seek views and engagement from the market regarding the procurement of Housing Training and Learning Framework.

The programme supports the development of leadership, management, communication, patient safety, ethics and quality improvement skills, aligned to the General Medical Council (GMC) Generic Professional Capabilities Framework and wider NHS workforce priorities. Approximately 225 learners are expected to participate each year. The future contract is expected to cover curriculum development, learner recruitment and administration, programme delivery, quality assurance, reporting and ongoing programme improvement. Delivery will be primarily virtual, with flexibility for blended delivery where appropriate. The proposed contract term is an initial three years with the option to extend for up to two further years. This preliminary market engagement exercise seeks feedback from potential providers, particularly higher education institutions and organisations experienced in postgraduate healthcare education. NHS England wishes to gather market intelligence to help refine the specification, understand market capability and capacity, identify potential delivery models, assess risks, and inform the forthcoming procurement strategy. Participation in this engagement exercise will not influence any future procurement process. NHS England has identified that learner demand may change during the life of the contract. Whilst the current requirement is based on approximately 225 learner places per year, the actual number of trainees participating in the programme may increase or decrease in response to workforce needs, funding availability and regional demand. Should a material change in learner numbers be required, any associated increase or decrease in contract value would be subject to budget availability, agreement between the parties, approval through NHS England governance processes, and any necessary business case approvals. NHS England has also identified that the curriculum may need to evolve during the contract term to reflect changes in regulatory requirements, national policy, professional standards, workforce priorities or updates to the General Medical Council's Generic Professional Capabilities Framework. The successful provider will be expected to work collaboratively with NHS England to review and update programme content where required, ensuring the curriculum remains current, compliant and aligned to emerging best practice.

The training should be tailored to people with varied skills and experience – from beginners to people looking to use their existing knowledge to operate more strategically. It should be based on a thorough understanding of modern communications trends and best practice across a range of different local government issues. The Local Government Association is a politically led, cross-party membership organisation that works on behalf of councils to ensure local government has a strong, credible voice. We aim to influence and set the political agenda on the issues that matter to councils, so they are able to deliver local solutions to national problems. We represent more than 370 authorities across England and Wales on a wide array of topic, including adult social care, public health, child protection, bin collections, parking, devolution and finance. Our lead politicians speak in the national media on a daily basis – protecting and promoting the interests of local government. The LGA also provides communications support and advice to its member authorities. As part of this offer, we want to provide councils with access to high quality media training for their leaders and senior councillors. We are seeking to engage supplier to deliver media training sessions for LGA lead members, and also for councillors within individual local authorities as part of the communications support work with LGA members. Media training sessions should ensure councillors are able to speak confidently and effectively in both broadcast and print media on behalf of the LGA and/or their local authority. This would include providing tailored training to councillors on a one-to-one basis, in groups, or as refresher training for those who may need further support or guidance. A number of our councillors will already have varied levels of experience speaking to the media and may simply need to hone particular skills or simply build their confidence in front of a camera. Individual needs should be assessed and addressed prior to and during the training sessions to ensure each participant gets the most out of the session and leaves feeling able to speak confidently and effectively on behalf of the LGA and/or their local authority. It’s also important that when participants have finished the training, they are clear about the purpose of media interviews and able to embed key messages or narratives into their delivery. Councillors representing the LGA will also need to understand that they are speaking in that capacity, and be able to circumnavigate their personal views, or those of their local council or political party.

Natural England has been exploring the use of these methods for environmental monitoring for several years, delivering a series of reports which focus on the development of DNA-based methods with potential in a particular area. These methods are now being used more widely within Natural England, particularly the detection of ecological communities using environmental DNA (eDNA). This is often conducted by employing metabarcoding assays which target specific species assemblages (e.g. fish, mammals) or broader taxonomic groups (e.g. vertebrates, invertebrates, bacteria). The DNA Team aims to operationalise DNA-based methods and produces guidance for using them in monitoring projects. In order to provide sound recommendations, it is important that we understand the limitations of, and uncertainties with, DNA-based methods. Natural England staff need to be able to understand how DNA-derived data can be used, and the confidence they can have in data derived using different DNA-based methods which have been validated to different stages. Natural England previously commissioned the development of a framework to enable end users to assess confidence in metabarcoding assays and results (Pagaling and others, under review; a copy of the framework can be provided by Natural England upon request by emailing monitoring.innovation@naturalengland.org.uk). By using the checklist and levelled scale, end users can appropriately interpret results. It also provides validation and reporting standards for the development of new metabarcoding assays. The framework will enable end-users to determine the recommended scenarios for application of a given assay and improve assay performance with further validation. This project will advance the metabarcoding assay validation framework by expanding upon previous work to conduct a further literature review and meta-analysis, covering more assays being used for different purposes and in different contexts. In addition beta testing of the framework and user guide will be required, as well as the creation and delivery of training materials and course . ocds-h6vhtk-06d396 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 15:42:57 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-068c55 Ministry of Justice - This notice is to confirm that the Authority is launching a tender for the provision of actors to support the delivery of Family Liaison Officer training in His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). Family Liaison Officers (FLOs) are responsible for maintaining communication with a prisoner’s next of kin, including making initial contact and supporting families whilst handling sensitive discussions. In order to undertake this role, all FLOs complete a four-day training programme delivered by Prison Learning Design and Delivery (PLD&D) within HMPPS, which equips them with the skills to support family members through grief and bereavement following a prisoner’s death, and terminal illness diagnoses. This requirement is for an external organisation to provide two professional actors across two days for each training course to portray a prisoner's next of kin, during which FLOs will be assessed on their delivery and engagement skills, bringing a sense of realism to the scenarios in order for the FLOs to prepare for real life situations. The actors would be required to attend in-person on days 3 and 4 of the training course, with all sessions typically taking place at the Prison Service College, Newbold Revel. A minimum of one-month's notice shall be provided to the supplier for each course, although the Authority tend to plan 9-months ahead. On the day of the assessment, actors will receive a scenario brief outlining the role of the next of kin they will portray, with profiling on characteristics such as their relationship to the prisoner, key emotions they need to portray, religion and background. There will not be a specific script, and instead actors are expected to respond and adapt to the interaction as it develops whilst remaining within the boundaries set out within the brief. Following the exercise, actors will provide feedback on the conversation with the FLO from the perspective of the next of kin, detailing how the FLO made them feel. The actors provided must have experience in role play, simulation or scenario based acting specifically where emotionally sensitive material is involved. The current expectation is that one course will be delivered per month, with scope for up to four additional courses per year commissioned on an ad hoc basis if required. Volumes are not guaranteed. There are typicall 5 scenario assessments each day, split evenly between the two actors. Each scneario lasts approximately 30 minutes (20 minutes for the role-play, and 10 minutes for feedback). If you are interested in this opportunity, suppliers are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with the guidance on registering for and using the Central Digital Platform (CDP), available via Information and guidance for suppliers - GOV.UK. Full tender documentation and submission instructions will be available when the Invitation to Tender (ITT) is formally launched. The Authority will assess all Tenders in order to identify the Supplier which has submitted the Most Advantageous Tender. Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) means the Tender that offers the best value for money based on the evaluation assessment criteria. The assessment criteria chosen to determine the MAT is Price Per Quality Point (PPQP). The information set out in this notice, including the nature and scope of the requirement, estimated values, and CPV classifications, is provided for guidance and may be subject to change.

To support the development of this requirement, the Authority invites suppliers of relevant products and services to attend an engagement event at Defence Medical Services (DMS), Whittington during the week commencing 21 September 2026. Exact dates and attendance arrangements will be confirmed during the week commencing 17 August 2026. The event will provide suppliers with an opportunity to present their products, capabilities and associated support services to an audience of Defence medical professionals comprising both military and civilian personnel. The purpose of this market engagement activity is to: • Improve the Authority's understanding of products and solutions currently available within the market. • Explore innovative technologies, capabilities and support models available across the industry. • Inform the development of the Authority's future procurement strategy and requirements. • Support wider curriculum development and training planning activities. This requirement is driven by a significant increase in student throughput across Defence medical training and the continued expansion of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC(UK)) training. In parallel, the Authority must increase its ability to deliver multiple training courses concurrently in order to meet current and future operational demand. Existing training assets are insufficient to support the simultaneous delivery of multiple courses whilst maintaining the levels of realism, training quality and Defence Systems Approach to Training (DSAT) compliance required by the Authority. Potential Future Procurement The Authority is exploring the establishment of a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of high-fidelity medical simulation manikins and associated support services. The requirement is expected to include: • High-fidelity adult trauma simulation manikins capable of replicating realistic battlefield injuries and physiological responses. • Training systems that support advanced clinical interventions and realistic Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) scenarios. • Maintenance, servicing and repair arrangements. • Software licensing, updates and technical support. • Equipment sustainment packages designed to maximise asset availability, extend equipment life and support uninterrupted training delivery. Strategic Context This initiative will support the continued modernisation of Defence medical education and training in line with the TCCC tiered training construct. By increasing training capacity and capability, the Authority aims to ensure that Defence can meet both current and future demand whilst maintaining the high standards of realism and operational relevance required to prepare personnel for deployed medical environments. Important Note This engagement activity is being conducted solely for market research and requirement development purposes. Participation does not form part of any formal procurement process and does not constitute any commitment by the Authority to procure any goods or services. Equally, suppliers who choose not to participate will not be disadvantaged in any future procurement activity associated with this requirement. ocds-h6vhtk-06dba7 Tue, 04 Aug 2026 16:13:13 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d65f Defence Equipment and Support - The Protect Delivery Team within Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) is preparing to initiate a Competitive Flexible Procedure procurement for an online catalogue of Tactical High Access Climbing Equipment (THACE), training, maintenance and repair.

Natural England has been exploring the use of these methods for environmental monitoring for several years, delivering a series of reports which focus on the development of DNA-based methods with potential in a particular area. These methods are now being used more widely within Natural England, particularly the detection of ecological communities using environmental DNA (eDNA). This is often conducted by employing metabarcoding assays which target specific species assemblages (e.g. fish, mammals) or broader taxonomic groups (e.g. vertebrates, invertebrates, bacteria). The DNA Team aims to operationalise DNA-based methods and produces guidance for using them in monitoring projects. In order to provide sound recommendations, it is important that we understand the limitations of, and uncertainties with, DNA-based methods. Natural England staff need to be able to understand how DNA-derived data can be used, and the confidence they can have in data derived using different DNA-based methods which have been validated to different stages. Natural England previously commissioned the development of a framework to enable end users to assess confidence in metabarcoding assays and results (Pagaling and others, under review; a copy of the framework can be provided by Natural England upon request by emailing monitoring.innovation@naturalengland.org.uk). By using the checklist and levelled scale, end users can appropriately interpret results. It also provides validation and reporting standards for the development of new metabarcoding assays. The framework will enable end-users to determine the recommended scenarios for application of a given assay and improve assay performance with further validation. This project will advance the metabarcoding assay validation framework by expanding upon previous work to conduct a further literature review and meta-analysis, covering more assays being used for different purposes and in different contexts. In addition beta testing of the framework and user guide will be required, as well as the creation and delivery of training materials and course . ocds-h6vhtk-06d396 Tue, 04 Aug 2026 15:28:20 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06c068 Lake District National Park Authority - Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) is establishing a Countryside Land Management and Estate Maintenance Framework Agreement, primarily for use by our Ranger Services Team but available to our whole organisation including specifically elements for our Strategy Team in relation to Historic Environment, Biodiversity Net Gain, Habitat and Woodland/Grassland Monitoring and Management.

Evidence suggests that social isolation, loneliness, limited access to trusted adults, and exposure to harmful online content can increase vulnerability to misogynistic and harmful online narratives. At the same time, research highlights that boys and young men are seeking guidance on issues such as relationships, identity, wellbeing and masculinity, often in online spaces that can expose them to harmful or misleading content. Emerging evidence indicates that strengthening critical thinking, digital literacy and opportunities for open discussion and reflection can help young people to better understand, question and challenge harmful content and online influences. Research also demonstrates the importance of trusted relationships, positive male role models, supportive peer networks and meaningful offline spaces as protective factors that support healthy identity development, resilience, wellbeing and positive relationships. These opportunities can help boys and young men explore identity, belonging, relationships and different experiences and expressions of masculinity in safe and supportive environments. This evidence sits within a broader context of concern about the impact of online misogyny and harmful online narratives on both boys and young men and on the safety and wellbeing of girls and young women. Research highlights increasing exposure to misogynistic content online, the role of algorithms in amplifying harmful narratives, and the importance of early intervention approaches that build critical thinking, digital literacy, emotional wellbeing and healthy relationship skills. Evidence also highlights the value of creating spaces where boys and young men can explore identity, belonging, relationships and masculinity, reflect on the influences shaping their views, and develop resilience to harmful online content and messaging In response, the Mayor has launched a programme of activity to challenge harmful online narratives and support boys and young men to develop confidence, resilience and a strong sense of identity. In June 2026, the Mayor warned of the risk of a "lost generation of young men" if the growing influence of harmful online content is left unchecked, announcing a package of interventions to strengthen support for boys and young men at home, in schools and across communities. The Mayor's polling found that only 15% of Londoners believe boys and young men have access to enough positive role models, reinforcing the need for investment in trusted adults, mentoring and positive influences. The VRU is leading the development of this programme of interventions. Through mentoring, workforce development, support for fathers and carers, and preventative work in education settings, the programme aims to strengthen critical thinking and digital literacy, increase access to positive male role models and trusted adults, support boys and young men to explore identity, belonging, relationships and masculinity, and reduce vulnerability to exploitation, violence and harmful online influences. Purpose of this Market Engagement The VRU is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform the design of a future procurement opportunity.

Natural England has been exploring the use of these methods for environmental monitoring for several years, delivering a series of reports which focus on the development of DNA-based methods with potential in a particular area. These methods are now being used more widely within Natural England, particularly the detection of ecological communities using environmental DNA (eDNA). This is often conducted by employing metabarcoding assays which target specific species assemblages (e.g. fish, mammals) or broader taxonomic groups (e.g. vertebrates, invertebrates, bacteria). The DNA Team aims to operationalise DNA-based methods and produces guidance for using them in monitoring projects. In order to provide sound recommendations, it is important that we understand the limitations of, and uncertainties with, DNA-based methods. Natural England staff need to be able to understand how DNA-derived data can be used, and the confidence they can have in data derived using different DNA-based methods which have been validated to different stages. Natural England previously commissioned the development of a framework to enable end users to assess confidence in metabarcoding assays and results (Pagaling and others, under review; a copy of the framework can be provided by Natural England upon request by emailing monitoring.innovation@naturalengland.org.uk). By using the checklist and levelled scale, end users can appropriately interpret results. It also provides validation and reporting standards for the development of new metabarcoding assays. The framework will enable end-users to determine the recommended scenarios for application of a given assay and improve assay performance with further validation. This project will advance the metabarcoding assay validation framework by expanding upon previous work to conduct a further literature review and meta-analysis, covering more assays being used for different purposes and in different contexts. In addition beta testing of the framework and user guide will be required, as well as the creation and delivery of training materials and course . ocds-h6vhtk-06d396 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 14:20:11 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d7b8 Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council - Section 19 of the Education act 1996 is the statutory duty to provide suitable education for all children and young people of compulsory school age who cannot access mainstream school places.

Bolton Council determine the number of high needs places required each year and submits the figures to the DfE by December 5th for the following academic year. These are finalised and published in February before September term starts. This process should reflect planned and predicted changes for the following academic year, so that schools and colleges receive an appropriate level of core funding, that enables them to make the special provision that is to be commissioned, particularly any expansion of that provision. The Authority intends to run an Open Tender Process for a 1-year contract for the Academic year 2027 to 2028 provision, as the Provider needs to be in place before November 2026 to be able to submit to the DfE on time. The Authority then intends to run a further process for the 2028 provision for a longer contract of 3 Years with the option to extend for up to 2 x 12 month periods. ocds-h6vhtk-06d7b8 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 14:11:13 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-05f291 London Borough of Croydon - Croydon continues to experience above-average unemployment and persistent economic inactivity, despite being home to one of the largest working-age populations in London. The borough’s labour market is characterised by high youth unemployment in certain wards, concentrations of low-paid and insecure work, a significant proportion of residents with long-term health conditions, and marked inequalities in access to opportunity by geography, ethnicity, gender and disability. The MEF has been designed to respond to these challenges by investing in programmes that help residents to move into, remain in and progress within good work. The Fund is aligned with the Council’s emerging Employment and Skills Plan and Adult Education Skills Plan, which set out a long-term strategy for mapping the journey from learning to earning, identifying gaps in progression, and strengthening cross-sector partnerships to reduce economic inactivity and improve access to training, qualifications and meaningful work. The MEF also supports the Mayor’s Business Plan Outcome 2, which is that Croydon should be a place of opportunity for business, earning and learning. The purpose of the MEF is to support Croydon residents into work, apprenticeships, training or progression opportunities; to provide targeted, culturally competent, evidence-based interventions for residents facing multiple barriers; to strengthen the role of voluntary and community sector partners and specialist providers in employment support; to build collaborative, place-based delivery models; and to ensure that resources reach those most in need, driving measurable improvements in employability, stability and progression. The Fund will be procured across 4 lots: youth provision for 16–24-year-olds; specialist support for care experienced young people; tailored employment support for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness; targeted provision for veterans and their families; and a small grants and community events strand to support community-led engagement and progression activities.

The borough’s labour market is characterised by high youth unemployment in certain wards, concentrations of low-paid and insecure work, a significant proportion of residents with long-term health conditions, and marked inequalities in access to opportunity by geography, ethnicity, gender and disability. The MEF has been designed to respond to these challenges by investing in programmes that help residents to move into, remain in and progress within good work. The Fund is aligned with the Council’s emerging Employment and Skills Plan and Adult Education Skills Plan, which set out a long-term strategy for mapping the journey from learning to earning, identifying gaps in progression, and strengthening cross-sector partnerships to reduce economic inactivity and improve access to training, qualifications and meaningful work. The MEF also supports the Mayor’s Business Plan Outcome 2, which is that Croydon should be a place of opportunity for business, earning and learning. The purpose of the MEF is to support Croydon residents into work, apprenticeships, training or progression opportunities; to provide targeted, culturally competent, evidence-based interventions for residents facing multiple barriers; to strengthen the role of voluntary and community sector partners and specialist providers in employment support; to build collaborative, place-based delivery models; and to ensure that resources reach those most in need, driving measurable improvements in employability, stability and progression. The Fund will be procured across 4 lots: youth provision for 16–24-year-olds; specialist support for care experienced young people; tailored employment support for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness; targeted provision for veterans and their families; and a small grants and community events strand to support community-led engagement and progression activities. Allocations are currently expected to be approximately £175,000 for youth, £75,000 for care experienced young people, £175,000 for homelessness, £50,000 for veterans, although these values remain indicative and may be refined prior to contract award.

Natural England has been exploring the use of these methods for environmental monitoring for several years, delivering a series of reports which focus on the development of DNA-based methods with potential in a particular area. These methods are now being used more widely within Natural England, particularly the detection of ecological communities using environmental DNA (eDNA). This is often conducted by employing metabarcoding assays which target specific species assemblages (e.g. fish, mammals) or broader taxonomic groups (e.g. vertebrates, invertebrates, bacteria). The DNA Team aims to operationalise DNA-based methods and produces guidance for using them in monitoring projects. In order to provide sound recommendations, it is important that we understand the limitations of, and uncertainties with, DNA-based methods. Natural England staff need to be able to understand how DNA-derived data can be used, and the confidence they can have in data derived using different DNA-based methods which have been validated to different stages. Natural England previously commissioned the development of a framework to enable end users to assess confidence in metabarcoding assays and results (Pagaling and others, under review; a copy of the framework can be provided by Natural England upon request by emailing monitoring.innovation@naturalengland.org.uk). By using the checklist and levelled scale, end users can appropriately interpret results. It also provides validation and reporting standards for the development of new metabarcoding assays. The framework will enable end-users to determine the recommended scenarios for application of a given assay and improve assay performance with further validation. This project will advance the metabarcoding assay validation framework by expanding upon previous work to conduct a further literature review and meta-analysis, covering more assays being used for different purposes and in different contexts. In addition beta testing of the framework and user guide will be required, as well as the creation and delivery of training materials and course . ocds-h6vhtk-06d396 Wed, 29 Jul 2026 14:24:52 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d674 Translink - Translink seeks a competent and recognised training provider capable of delivering training, assessment, and certification for all staff involved in vehicle roadworthiness inspections in a manner that supports workforce modernisation, upskilling, and consistent competency across all trades. ocds-h6vhtk-06d674 Wed, 29 Jul 2026 13:26:36 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d65b LEEDS TRINITY UNIVERSITY - Leeds Trinity University seeks to establish a framework of representatives in specific global regions to provide support services for international student recruitment. ocds-h6vhtk-06d65b Wed, 29 Jul 2026 12:31:56 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-b5fd17-9ed4c0fa-4b60-4369-a898-ce04cfc1a2a0 Nottinghamshire County Council - Delivery of the Mental Health First Aider element of a Champion Development Programme to the external social care workforce. ocds-b5fd17-9ed4c0fa-4b60-4369-a898-ce04cfc1a2a0 Wed, 29 Jul 2026 12:28:17 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d618 Department for Education - The Department for Education is the lead department for the Government’s mission to break down the barriers to opportunity.

The specific focus of the pilot is the design and delivery of a programme which enables industry experts to support curriculum delivery in FE settings. We envisage the successful supplier will carry out a short research and design phase which builds on existing knowledge provided by the Combined Authority and then mobilise and deliver the pilot project. In the delivery of the pilot, the supplier will be responsible for relationship management between industry and education partners, coordinating opportunities for collaboration, ensuring delivery takes place against targets, and monitoring progress. The supplier should identify a sustainable model of delivery that FE providers can take to increase their collaboration with industry partners to tackle challenges around tutor gaps and specialist knowledge sharing. The successful supplier will have experience liaising between education and industry partners, with established links to appropriate teams in West Yorkshire-based businesses (both larger organisations and SMEs). This project will focus on the delivery of manufacturing and engineering (all types) teaching to 16-19 and adult learners (including via T Levels, apprenticeships, adult skills courses and study programmes). Therefore, the businesses/industry partners engaged should be able to provide industry volunteers who are skilled in one or more of the above subject areas. The specific skills required from industry will become clearer as the research and design with partner education providers takes place, and we expect the supplier to assess where there are gaps in currency and knowledge across further education, and how the businesses can support these. ocds-h6vhtk-06ceba Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:34:21 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d396 Natural England - DNA-based methods have the potential to significantly change how we monitor and assess ecosystems. Natural England has been exploring the use of these methods for environmental monitoring for several years, delivering a series of reports which focus on the development of DNA-based methods with potential in a particular area. These methods are now being used more widely within Natural England, particularly the detection of ecological communities using environmental DNA (eDNA). This is often conducted by employing metabarcoding assays which target specific species assemblages (e.g. fish, mammals) or broader taxonomic groups (e.g. vertebrates, invertebrates, bacteria). The DNA Team aims to operationalise DNA-based methods and produces guidance for using them in monitoring projects. In order to provide sound recommendations, it is important that we understand the limitations of, and uncertainties with, DNA-based methods. Natural England staff need to be able to understand how DNA-derived data can be used, and the confidence they can have in data derived using different DNA-based methods which have been validated to different stages. Natural England previously commissioned the development of a framework to enable end users to assess confidence in metabarcoding assays and results (Pagaling and others, under review; a copy of the framework can be provided by Natural England upon request by emailing monitoring.innovation@naturalengland.org.uk). By using the checklist and levelled scale, end users can appropriately interpret results. It also provides validation and reporting standards for the development of new metabarcoding assays. The framework will enable end-users to determine the recommended scenarios for application of a given assay and improve assay performance with further validation. This project will advance the metabarcoding assay validation framework by expanding upon previous work to conduct a further literature review and meta-analysis, covering more assays being used for different purposes and in different contexts. In addition beta testing of the framework and user guide will be required, as well as the creation and delivery of training materials and course . ocds-h6vhtk-06d396 Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:26:53 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-04cf40 Cumberland Council - The Council will be procuring an open framework to provide the delivery of the Organisational Development, Training and Wellbeing programme of courses.

The programme supports councils by attracting, developing, and retaining talented graduates in planning and surveying professions, helping local government build the skills and capacity needed to meet future workforce demands. Since launching in 2023, Pathways to Planning has placed over 200 planning graduates across more than 100 councils. Participants undertake a fully funded, accredited master's degree while gaining practical experience in local government roles. In October 2025, the programme expanded to include a Surveying Strand, which places graduates into surveying and construction-related roles within local authorities, including Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, Building Control, Construction Project Management, and Real Estate and Property Management. Graduates complete accredited postgraduate qualifications, typically recognised by professional bodies such as RICS, CABE, or CIOB. The strand is expected to support around 50 learners initially, with capacity to grow in future cohorts. The programme has been developed in response to increasing workforce pressures within local government and the Government's ambition to deliver 1.5 million homes, recognising the need for greater surveying and development expertise within councils. To support new entrants, the LGA is seeking a supplier to design and deliver an introductory e-learning programme for Surveying Strand graduates. Similar to the existing Planning Strand offer, the course will provide a foundation before graduates begin their placements and master's studies. As many participants have degrees in unrelated subjects and little prior knowledge of surveying, the learning must be accessible, engaging, and easy to understand. The e-learning should introduce graduates to the surveying profession, key terminology, professional roles, expectations of postgraduate study, and how to maximise development opportunities throughout the programme. The course is intended to provide a broad introduction rather than detailed technical training, which graduates will receive through their university studies and workplace experience. It will form part of the LGA's wider learning and development offer, helping to develop a skilled, knowledgeable, and sustainable surveying workforce within local government. ocds-h6vhtk-06d3a7 Fri, 24 Jul 2026 16:25:39 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d3a3 Gateshead College - Gateshead College offers courses in Rail Engineering, leading to nationally recognised NVQ qualifications.

The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is committed to understanding the factors that place children and young people at risk of violence, exploitation and harm, and to working collaboratively with partners to deliver long-term, sustainable solutions. We work across communities and sectors, including youth services, local government, education, health, policing and the voluntary and community sector, championing a public health approach that combines prevention, early intervention and effective support for those experiencing the greatest levels of risk and vulnerability. At the heart of our approach is the belief that violence is preventable, not inevitable. We recognise, however, that many children and young people are already navigating the impacts of trauma, exploitation, abuse and complex community dynamics. As such, our work seeks not only to prevent harm before it occurs, but also to strengthen the systems, services and trusted adults responsible for safeguarding, supporting and intervening with those most affected. Central to this approach is a commitment to partnership working, evidence-informed practice and ensuring that the voices, experiences and expertise of young people and communities shape the solutions designed to support them. The Mayor's Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is seeking to engage with the market in advance of a forthcoming procurement opportunity relating to the delivery of its flagship Digital Youth Work Pilot Programme. The programme forms part of the VRU's wider public health approach to violence reduction and sits within a London-wide model developed following extensive consultation with young people, practitioners, safeguarding professionals, academics and sector experts. Digital life brings clear benefits for many children. Ofcom found that 99% of 13–17-year-olds see at least one benefit to being online, including help with schoolwork, learning new skills and maintaining social connections. 93% of children in the UK play video games, and children report that gaming helps them socialise with friends, learn new skills and have fun, with most online interactions taking place with friends they already know offline. At the same time, the VRU is concerned that these same digital environments expose children and young people to a wide range of harms and risks. Digital safety is increasingly a public safety and public health concern. Children and young people are navigating identity, relationships, influence, exploitation and conflict across interconnected online and offline environments. However, systems, services and safeguarding responses have often struggled to keep pace with the rapidly evolving nature of digital spaces. This matters for the VRU because online harms do not sit separately from wider concerns about violence, vulnerability, exploitation and safeguarding. The VRU is seeking delivery partners to pilot innovative Digital Youth Work (DYW) approaches across London that drive new models of engagement with young people and promote safeguarding in digital spaces. The VRU is seeking approaches that: Design, deliver and test new or existing digital youth work models Extend trusted, relationship-based youth work into digital environments Strengthen early intervention, prevention and safeguarding online Generate learning, insight and practical outputs to strengthen future activity The programme aims not only to deliver effective pilot activity, but also to contribute to sector-wide innovation and the development of scalable models of digital youth work across London. Scope of delivery The programme will be structured into three complementary lots: Lot 1: Supporting High-Need and Digitally Dependent Young People Testing approaches that improve accessibility and engagement for young people who face barriers to traditional provision, including SEND. Lot 2: Early Intervention and Prevention of Online Harms Testing models that enable early identification, prevention and response to online risks, with a focus on safeguarding and preventative practice of deterring online to offline violence. Lot 3: Universal Digital Youth Work and Positive Opportunities Exploring how digital youth work can foster connection, creativity, play, participation and digital citizenship for all young people. Bidders may apply for one, two or all three lots. Applications may be submitted by individual organisations or as partnerships/consortia. Target Audience The programme will focus on delivering digital youth work to children and young people aged 11–25 across London, including but not limited to: Young people at higher risk of being impacted by online harms Those facing barriers to traditional youth provision, including SEND and young people who may be more digitally dependent and/or digitally excluded Young people experiencing vulnerability linked to violence, exploitation or disadvantage Young people with caring responsibilities Young people in the care system Young people affected by Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) The wider youth population through universal provision Potential delivery settings and workforces may include, but are not limited to: Community-based youth organisations and youth services Detached, outreach and neighbourhood-based provision Faith and community organisations SEND and disability-focused youth provision Organisations supporting young people experiencing vulnerability, exclusion or barriers to traditional youth provision Specialist services working with young people affected by violence, exploitation or online harms Informal education, mentoring and participation-based youth provision Indicative Outcomes The programme is expected to contribute to: Increased engagement of young people in safe, supportive digital environments Improved accessibility of youth work for young people who do not traditionally engage with youth work and are digitally dependent and/or digitally excluded) Strengthened early identification and prevention of online harms in the digital space Increased use of technology to foster positive opportunities Strengthen young people’s digital citizenship Increased workforce confidence and capability in incorporating digital youth work into traditional practice and safeguarding policy Development of scalable models, guidance and practical tools A stronger London-wide evidence base on digital youth work and online safety Timeframe and Budget The maximum estimated budget for this programme is up to £650,000 excl. VAT over a full contract period from November 2026 – March 2029, subject to confirmation of funding, internal governance and relevant approvals. This comprises: £390,000 core funding across the 2026/27 and 2027/28 financial years from November 2026 to March 2028 An extension option of up to £260,000 for a further 12 months from April 2028 The VRU welcomes bids from individual organisations as well as collaborative partnerships and consortia. We recognise that expertise may be distributed across different organisations, and we encourage applications that bring together complementary skills, knowledge and experience. Providers do not need to demonstrate strength across every area independently, provided that the partnership as a whole can evidence the required expertise and capacity to deliver the programme. This may include, for example, combining specialist knowledge in DYW, supporting SEND or neurodiverse children, digital safety, contextual safeguarding, fostering positive digital opportunities, and preventative violence reduction approaches.

The service to be provided. As part of the Education Department, the Council has a statutory responsibility to ensure the delivery of high quality education for all learners. The Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) Service provides specialist support for children and young people with complex educational needs who require an alternative to mainstream provision. The most recent Estyn inspection recognised both the quality of this service and the positive steps taken to broaden the curriculum for learners accessing PRU support. Despite these strengths, Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC) acknowledges that further action is required to meet the needs of young people who are at risk of disengaging from mainstream education. Demand for places across the three PRU sites continues to exceed capacity. To address this challenge, WCBC proposes to build on the success of the UKSPF Best EET Forward project (completed April 2026) by offering an equitable programme of heritage crafts, traditional skills, and green space development across secondary schools. This programme will operate in addition to WCBC’s statutory duties and existing budgets. Early intervention remains central to improving life chances. WCBC views this project as a key mechanism for helping young people remain successfully engaged in mainstream education by providing additional, targeted provision within their own secondary schools. Through previous initiatives, including the Multiply project and the Best EET Forward project, WCBC has already piloted a range of practical, heritage based learning opportunities. These have included sessions in traditional construction skills, permaculture, and blacksmithing, delivered in partnership with specialist providers. These programmes have had a significant positive impact on learners, many of whom have expressed a strong interest in exploring employment pathways within the heritage construction and land based sectors. At a senior leadership level, WCBC will design and coordinate delivery to ensure the programme targets young people aged 11+ who are most at risk of becoming disengaged with mainstream education. WCBC will work closely with secondary schools and its procured delivery partner, who are best placed to identify suitable learners. Together, they will offer new programmes of learning designed to enhance engagement and build confidence. ocds-h6vhtk-06d2aa Fri, 24 Jul 2026 09:11:17 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-0698b3 NURSING AND MIDWIFERY COUNCIL - This Tender Notice is for the forthcoming concession contract to deliver a new Test of Competence - Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) on behalf of the NMC.

Part of our suite of development opportunities for local political leaders is “Leadership Essentials”. Leadership Essentials is a series of events designed as themed learning opportunities that concentrate on a specific portfolio area such as Planning or Children’s Services, or a specific theme such as communications. These programmes run with a maximum of 24 delegates. They include a mix of class-room learning, small-group work and action learning/coaching. The LGA is seeking a supplier to update and deliver an in-person Leadership Essentials programme on Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), which will run twice, in November 2026 and January 2027. The programme is aimed at councillors in authorities undergoing reorganisation, including Shadow Councillors, Joint Committee members, Leaders, Deputy Leaders, and relevant Portfolio Holders and Committee Chairs. LGR represents the most significant structural change to local government in decades, with councils in two-tier areas and some neighbouring unitary authorities moving towards new unitary council arrangements. Affected local councils have now completed their proposals, with the aim that they best meet local needs, are informed by local views, support the Government’s devolution plans and enable stronger community engagement and empowerment. The programme will therefore help councillors understand the evolving LGR landscape and develop the leadership skills needed to navigate complex change programmes and support successful implementation. Building on the success of the 2025/26 programme, which achieved 100% positive participant feedback, the successful supplier will refresh the existing content to reflect recent developments and decisions on new unitary authority geographies. The programme should equip councillors with the confidence, capability, knowledge, and awareness required to lead the LGR agenda locally, while supporting effective governance, stakeholder engagement, and organisational change. Delivery may also be supported by an LGA Member peer working alongside the provider. ocds-h6vhtk-06d049 Tue, 21 Jul 2026 17:07:44 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-b5fd17-51ee687c-9f26-4990-a4d9-e8b6c9f58c23 THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR PLACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST OR NATURAL BEAUTY - CONTEXT Nature Towns and Cities is a growing coalition, united by a shared mission to create greener, healthier and more resilient towns, cities and neighbourhoods and for millions more people to have access to nature close to home, no matter where they live.

These students are working in various placement settings, and it is recognised that obtaining dynamic feedback needs to reflect the variety and diversity of these settings. Early identification and intervention are to key to both retention and the ability to offer targeted and appropriate support to students whilst on placement. An excellent student experience is key to LJMU success, and the University strives to improve this through targeted and proactive support. LJMU have identified a need to provide a solution that can be rolled out and supports timely and supported intervention triggered by student need. The solution needs to highlight patterns of behaviours at multiple levels to ensure actions are initiated and recorded. ocds-h6vhtk-06d014 Tue, 21 Jul 2026 15:13:18 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d006 Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust - This notice is to inform the market of the upcoming tender for the provision of C1 Driver Training to approximately 70 students for the Welsh Ambulance Service University NHS Trust.

This notice constitutes a second phase of Preliminary Market Engagement (PME), following the PME exercise undertaken in Spring 2026. This notice should be read in conjunction with the information provided through that earlier PME exercise. Details of the previous PME exercise can be found at the link to the previous PME Notice. To request a copy of the 'Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) document' and associated supplier networking information relevant to the previous PME exercise, please email: commercialtenders@communities.gov.uk by 5pm on Tuesday 28th July 2026. The scope and objectives of the proposed Network for Neighbourhoods procurement remain largely unchanged from those set out in the original PME. This updated PME acknowledges two material changes: (1) the proposed inclusion of Early Adopters requirements (as further detailed below and reflected in the estimated contract value); and (2) a change to the procurement timeline which now envisages commencement of the competition at the end of July or in early August 2026, with contract signature anticipated by mid/late November 2026 and mobilisation completed by mid/late February 2027. These dates are indicative and subject to change. The estimated maximum value of the Initial Period of the Contract (i.e. to 31st March 2029) is £13.03M NET of VAT. MHCLG shall reserve the right to extend the Contract by up to 12 months (i.e. from 1st April 2029 to 31st March 2030). The maximum value of any Extension Period is NOT included in the estimated contract value above, and shall be subject to further MHCLG budgetary approvals and confirmed at the appropriate time. Regardless, MHCLG cannot guarantee any extension. MHCLG intends to use responses from this PME to help validate market appetite, test the impact of integrating the Early Adopters requirement into the proposed Network for Neighbourhoods contract, and inform final procurement planning and competition design. To that end, please consider and respond to the questions below, where applicable, so that we can inform our procurement planning. Please respond by email to: commercialtenders@communities.gov.uk, by 5pm Tuesday 28th July 2026, ensuring to insert "CPD4130038 - Network for Neighbourhoods PME" into the subject header of the email. Please DO NOT submit any other statements, material or questions, as MHCLG is unable to consider them or respond at this time. Please note that participation in this market engagement exercise is not mandatory, and you are not required to disclose any commercially sensitive information beyond what is asked for. Responses to this exercise are for MHCLG information only, will be treated in strict confidence, and will not be carried forward or used in any way as part of any subsequent procurement. Further detail on the Early Adopters project, which we are proposing to integrate into the Network for Neighbourhoods procurement is set out below. The Early Adopters element will form part of the overall Network for Neighbourhoods service requirement and will not be procured separately. Suppliers should assume that support to the identified Early Adopter areas will form part of the successful bidder's delivery obligations. ADDITIONAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS - EARLY ADOPTERS The Pride in Place Programme (PiPP) sets an expectation that all areas move towards a community-led delivery model by the end of Year 3 (2028/29). This is intended to build strong, sustainable community infrastructure capable of driving long-term change beyond the ten-year lifetime of programme funding. To support this transition, 20 local authorities have been selected as 'Early Adopters', including up to thirty Neighbourhood Boards. These areas will move more quickly towards community-led delivery over the first three years, supported by a test, learn and grow approach that combines deep place-based support with structured peer learning. This will enable places to develop and refine effective approaches to community-led delivery, while generating practical learning and emerging blueprints to be shared through the Network for Neighbourhoods to strengthen delivery across the wider programme. To progress at the required pace, each Early Adopter will require an intensive, tailored support package. This should include structured learning and development for Neighbourhood Board members, alongside support on governance, community engagement, relationship building and collective impact. It should also provide access to a community of practice, enabling places to share learning, build core capabilities and draw on specialist expertise. Learning from this work will be captured, synthesised and codified into practical tools, playbooks and evidence-based frameworks to support the wider transition to community-led delivery across PiPP. QUESTIONS In consideration of the above information, please respond to the following questions where applicable: Question 1: On the basis of information set out in this update, is the Network for Neighbourhoods a project your organisation will likely express an interest in participating in, either as a Prime Supplier or Consortium Lead?

The specific focus of the pilot is the design and delivery of a programme which enables industry experts to support curriculum delivery in FE settings. We envisage the successful supplier will carry out a short research and design phase which builds on existing knowledge provided by the Combined Authority and then mobilise and deliver the pilot project. In the delivery of the pilot, the supplier will be responsible for relationship management between industry and education partners, coordinating opportunities for collaboration, ensuring delivery takes place against targets, and monitoring progress. The supplier should identify a sustainable model of delivery that FE providers can take to increase their collaboration with industry partners to tackle challenges around tutor gaps and specialist knowledge sharing. The successful supplier will have experience liaising between education and industry partners, with established links to appropriate teams in West Yorkshire-based businesses (both larger organisations and SMEs). This project will focus on the delivery of manufacturing and engineering (all types) teaching to 16-19 and adult learners (including via T Levels, apprenticeships, adult skills courses and study programmes). Therefore, the businesses/industry partners engaged should be able to provide industry volunteers who are skilled in one or more of the above subject areas. The specific skills required from industry will become clearer as the research and design with partner education providers takes place, and we expect the supplier to assess where there are gaps in currency and knowledge across further education, and how the businesses can support these. ocds-h6vhtk-06ceba Mon, 20 Jul 2026 12:31:02 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06ceaa Seetec Business Technology Centre Ltd - Future Employment Support will be a major new national programme.

This first stage is a light-touch Expression of interest (EOI), designed to help us to understand your organisation, your local presence, your specialist capability and your interest in working with us. The second stage will be a more detailed Request for Information (RFI) for shortlisted organisations, which will be weighted and scored to support partner selection, supply chain design and future co-design activity. At Seetec, we recognise the time and resource commitment that partner engagement processes can place on organisations, particularly SMEs, VCSEs, and specialist providers. We have therefore separated this process into two stages so that all interested organisations can express interest without needing to complete a full scored submission at the outset. We are inviting organisations of all sizes to register their interest in partnering with Seetec. We are particularly interested in organisations with strong local connections, specialist expertise, trusted stakeholder relationships and innovative approaches to supporting people into work. This initial EOI is intentionally light-touch and has been designed to understand your organisation, your local presence, and specialist expertise. Whether you are an SME, VCSE, charity, social enterprise, specialist provider, or larger delivery organisation, we want to hear from you. If you share our ambition to deliver locally integrated, high-quality support, we look forward to learning more about your organisation.

The proposed service will support children aged 0-5 years and their families to improve speech, language and communication development, increase school readiness and reduce inequalities in outcomes. The service forms an important part of Bradford's Best Start Local Plan 2026-2029, the Prevention and Early Help Strategy 2026-2031, and the wider Talking Bradford speech, language and communication pathway. The Council seeks feedback from organisations with relevant expertise to help shape the final service model. Background Speech, language and communication skills are fundamental to children's health, learning, wellbeing and future life opportunities. Bradford faces significant challenges relating to deprivation, educational inequalities and language development outcomes. Key local indicators include: • Approximately 7,000 children are born in Bradford District each year. • Around 59% of children live in the most deprived decile nationally. • Only 62% of children achieve a Good Level of Development at age five. • Communication and Language outcomes remain below the national average. • Around 50% of residents speak a language other than English as their primary language at home. The Council therefore wishes to commission an innovative, evidence-informed and culturally responsive service capable of improving outcomes for children and families across the district. Proposed Service Model The Council is considering a three-lot model comprising: Lot 1: Universal, Early Identification and Support • Community outreach and prevention activities. • Raising awareness of early language development. • Early identification of emerging speech, language and communication needs • Support for parents and carers to develop language-rich home learning environments. Lot 2: Targeted Intervention • Evidence-based early language interventions. • Support for children identified with speech, language and communication delay. • Delivery alongside parents and carers. • Integration with the Early Language Identification Measure (ELIM) pathway. Lot 3: Workforce Development • Training and development for practitioners across the early years system. • Building confidence in identifying and responding to emerging needs. • Supporting implementation of the Talking Bradford approach. The Market Engagement Event will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams on Friday 7 August 2026 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm.

Regions and Disciplines Tenders are planned to be launched in August 2026 covering the following Regions and Disciplines: Regions: • Central Belt of Scotland • Cumbria • Humber Region England • North East England • North West England • South East England • South West England Disciplines: Mechanical, Pipefitting, Welding, Plating, Rigging, Design and Draughting. *These may be subject to change at ECITB's discretion How to get involved As part of our commitment to open, transparent and effective procurement, we are inviting interested organisations to engage with us ahead of the formal tender process.

Please note this is not a call for competition at this stage. We encourage all organisations with relevant experience and capability to express their interest and participate in our forthcoming Pre-Market Engagement (PME) Webinar on the 23 July 2026 @ 11:00.

Participation in this pre-market engagement is entirely voluntary and is intended solely to inform both ECITB and potential suppliers. It does not form part of any formal procurement process, will not be evaluated, and will not provide any supplier with an advantage in any subsequent tender exercise. Following completion of the pre-market engagement, ECITB intends to publish the formal procurement opportunities via Find a Tender Service, where all interested suppliers will have an equal opportunity to compete. We welcome engagement from organisations of all sizes and look forward to working collaboratively with the market to deliver successful and impactful Scholarships Programmes in 2027.

An Arm's Length Body of government, the ECITB works with employers and governments to attract, develop and qualify the engineering construction workforce in a wide range of craft, technical and professional disciplines.

The ECITB is also an Awarding Organisation accredited by the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), Qualifications Wales and Qualifications Scotland Accreditation. The ECITB plays a vital role, along with the education sector, government and employers, in ensuring Britain has workers with the skills to meet the needs of the engineering construction industry.

This includes technical, management and professional training as well as support for apprenticeships and graduates entering industry.

Accordingly, the Council is only bound by those parts of the Regulations detailed in Chapter 3 'Particular Procurement Regimes Section 7, Social and Other Specific Services' 74 to 76 of the Public Frameworks Regulations 2015. The Council is not voluntarily following any other part of the Regulations. The procedure which the Council is following is set out within this ITT. The agreement is based upon the basic principles of a framework agreement, and although there are some similar aspects, it does not fully operate in the same way as outlined in regulation 33 of the Public Frameworks Regulations (2015). The Local Authority will create a "pseudo framework agreement" (based on CCS guidance) and have set out clearly how we intend to operate the framework agreement from the outset through the OJEU notice, Tender Document and Call-off Schedule, which also details the timeline for when it will be reopened. This meets the duty of transparency and equal treatment, which are the main guidelines to follow when setting up an LTR framework. The framework commenced on 1st September 2025 with an initial term of 5 years, with the option to extend up to a further 2 years on up at the sole discretion of the council. The framework will be based on minimum acceptable performance (map) being met by the tenderer as identified via key performance indicators. This Framework will be accessible by both City of Wolverhampton Council (thereafter CWC) and schools and academies in Wolverhampton.

There is no dedicated funding available for a strategic partnership in this space. This is not a public procurement exercise, nor a paid partnership or sponsorship opportunity and as such it will not lead to the award of a “public contract” as defined in the Procurement Act 2023. While Find a Tender Service would ordinarily be used in connection with a public procurement exercise, this is not the case here as it is being used to have a wide reach to the market. • The questionnaire will close for responses at 23:59 on Monday 3rd August 2026. Responses after this time will not be accepted. • DHSC will progress up to ten proposals that satisfy the criteria set out on page 3 of this notice. The final number of proposals selected will be based on the scoring methodology described herein, with those achieving the highest scores invited to enter negotiations. • Participation in this process does not create any obligation on either party to enter into a formal partnership or agreement. • DHSC recognises that organisations may wish to combine complementary skills, resources or experience by forming a consortium. We encourage strategic partnership proposals from consortia where they strengthen capability, capacity or coverage. Organisations submitting a consortium proposal must nominate a lead organisation to submit the proposal and act as the single point of contact. They must also clearly outline the consortium membership including the roles, responsibilities and contributions of each consortium member. • There are four scored questions for potential partners to answer. Each refers to key aspects of the partnership needs set out in Strategic Partnership Needs section of this notice. Each question will be scored on a scale of 0-4 which is set out below: Score Justification for Awarding Score 0 - The response does not demonstrate an understanding of the partnership needs and provides no confidence that the partnership needs will be delivered. 1 - The response meets elements of the partnership needs but raises concerns across several significant areas. There are reservations because the response shows: Some misunderstandings of the partnership needs, and a low level of information and detail provided. It provides insufficient confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. 2 - The response broadly meets what is expected for the partnership needs, but there are some areas of concern. The response therefore shows: A reasonable understanding of the partnership needs with an acceptable level of information and detail provided. It provides reasonable confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. 3 - The response meets what is expected for the partnership needs in all material respects, with no areas of concern. The response therefore shows: A good understanding of the partnership needs, and a good level of information and detail provided. It provides good confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. 4 - The response exceeds many aspects of the partnership needs. There are no areas of concern. The response therefore shows: A very good understanding of the partnership needs, and very good level of information and detail provided. It provides a high degree of confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. The response goes beyond partnership needs in some areas with evidence of added value beyond what was expected. In addition, the following criteria will be considered when scoring responses: Acceptability: Alignment with Child Poverty Strategy Practicability: Feasibility of partnership Effectiveness: Expected impact Side effects / safety: Alignment with DHSC policy Innovation: Level of ambition Political alignment: Alignment with political priorities Background and Scope Child poverty in the UK has increased by 700,000 since 2010/11, with 4 million children now living in poverty and 1 million having used foodbanks within the last 12 months . Tackling child poverty is central to this government’s mission to remove barriers to opportunity and raise the healthiest generation of children ever. Our Children, Our Future: Tackling Child Poverty Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/our-children-our-future-tackling-child-poverty) sets out immediate actions to reduce poverty and the long-term foundations needed to change its trajectory. As part of the Strategy, DHSC has committed to explore how industry and government can better work together to address the health impacts of child poverty (page 92). Scale of the problem: Child poverty is a wider determinant of health and can be a risk factor for worse physical and mental health outcomes , Evidence shows that exposure to poverty during childhood is associated with worse physical and mental health outcomes . These health inequalities may manifest differently throughout pregnancy, the early years, middle childhood and adolescence: • Pregnancy: Health behaviours and risks often begin before pregnancy . Poverty increases the risk of low birth weight and infant mortality. • Early years (0-5 years): At ages four and five years, obesity prevalence and tooth decay are strongly linked to deprivation. Children on free school meals are less likely to be school ready at age five years. • Middle childhood (5-11 years): Children from less affluent families are least likely to be active . By age 10-11 years, children in the most deprived areas are twice as likely to be obese • Adolescence (11-18 years): Risky health behaviours often begin during adolescence. Poverty is usually measured at individual or household level whereas deprivation uses area-based measures (typically using the Index of Multiple Deprivation). Inequalities in health outcomes can be measured in different ways. In some cases, health and poverty metrics data are not measured together, so other measures like area-based deprivation or the family’s socioeconomic status are used. While area-based deprivation metrics can help identify need, they do not capture all children experiencing poverty. This work therefore focuses on children living in poverty across England, regardless of location. We have heard from young people, parents and wider stakeholders through early market engagement exercises that: • Poverty has an impact on ability to access healthy food, affordable transport, housing quality and lack of outdoor spaces that support physical activity. • Financial, job insecurity, and debt pressures can place additional stress on families experiencing poverty. • There is limited access to learning opportunities and education for families in poverty, as well as low health literacy and awareness, which can act as barriers to health improvement. We are looking for scalable solutions that address the wider determinants of health associated with child poverty. Solutions should focus on: • Mitigating impacts of the cost-of-living crisis, to enable families to live healthy lives and make healthy choices. This includes equitable access to affordable and nutritious food, cooking equipment, leisure activities and transport. • Adequate mental health, education and developmental support provision, including addressing stigma, raising awareness of existing support and eligibility. Educational and developmental support could include life skills such as cooking and diet, budgeting and financial literacy. Following the market engagement event hosted by DHSC on Wednesday 15 April 2026, this notice is an invitation to submit a proposal to collaborate with DHSC and contribute to innovative, impactful solutions to improve the health of children living in poverty. Please complete questionnaire to submit a proposal: https://forms.office.com/e/SnUJi1QCJF Whilst this engagement focuses specifically on the wider determinants of health associated with child poverty, opportunities to support the broader Children and Young People (CYP) health agenda are expected via the CYP Modern Service Framework (MSF), which is being developed by NHS England. The CYP MSF is intended to support the NHS and system partners, including public health and local government, to ensure all children receive timely, high-quality care and support when they need it, while improving performance and efficiency across the health system. Engagement relating to the CYP MSF will be conducted by NHSE and does not form part of this market engagement exercise. ocds-h6vhtk-06c2ac Thu, 02 Jul 2026 16:13:57 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06c2ac Department of Health & Social Care - Introduction • This information note, along with the accompanying details, is being publicly shared via Find a Tender Service, making it accessible to all organisations in the market. • The purpose of this market engagement is to identify one or more partners who can work with the Department to help improve health outcomes for children living in poverty in England. • DHSC is specifically looking at collaborating on a “value in kind” basis with potential partners to deliver on the aims of the Child Poverty Strategy (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696646bc99fbdc498faecd98/child-poverty-strategy.pdf), published in December 2025. There is no dedicated funding available for a strategic partnership in this space. This is not a public procurement exercise, nor a paid partnership or sponsorship opportunity and as such it will not lead to the award of a “public contract” as defined in the Procurement Act 2023. While Find a Tender Service would ordinarily be used in connection with a public procurement exercise, this is not the case here as it is being used to have a wide reach to the market. • The questionnaire will close for responses at 23:59 on Monday 3rd August 2026. Responses after this time will not be accepted. • DHSC will progress up to ten proposals that satisfy the criteria set out on page 3 of this notice. The final number of proposals selected will be based on the scoring methodology described herein, with those achieving the highest scores invited to enter negotiations. • Participation in this process does not create any obligation on either party to enter into a formal partnership or agreement. • DHSC recognises that organisations may wish to combine complementary skills, resources or experience by forming a consortium. We encourage strategic partnership proposals from consortia where they strengthen capability, capacity or coverage. Organisations submitting a consortium proposal must nominate a lead organisation to submit the proposal and act as the single point of contact. They must also clearly outline the consortium membership including the roles, responsibilities and contributions of each consortium member. • There are four scored questions for potential partners to answer. Each refers to key aspects of the partnership needs set out in Strategic Partnership Needs section of this notice. Each question will be scored on a scale of 0-4 which is set out below: Score Justification for Awarding Score 0 - The response does not demonstrate an understanding of the partnership needs and provides no confidence that the partnership needs will be delivered. 1 - The response meets elements of the partnership needs but raises concerns across several significant areas. There are reservations because the response shows: Some misunderstandings of the partnership needs, and a low level of information and detail provided. It provides insufficient confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. 2 - The response broadly meets what is expected for the partnership needs, but there are some areas of concern. The response therefore shows: A reasonable understanding of the partnership needs with an acceptable level of information and detail provided. It provides reasonable confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. 3 - The response meets what is expected for the partnership needs in all material respects, with no areas of concern. The response therefore shows: A good understanding of the partnership needs, and a good level of information and detail provided. It provides good confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. 4 - The response exceeds many aspects of the partnership needs. There are no areas of concern. The response therefore shows: A very good understanding of the partnership needs, and very good level of information and detail provided. It provides a high degree of confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. The response goes beyond partnership needs in some areas with evidence of added value beyond what was expected. In addition, the following criteria will be considered when scoring responses: Acceptability: Alignment with Child Poverty Strategy Practicability: Feasibility of partnership Effectiveness: Expected impact Side effects / safety: Alignment with DHSC policy Innovation: Level of ambition Political alignment: Alignment with political priorities Background and Scope Child poverty in the UK has increased by 700,000 since 2010/11, with 4 million children now living in poverty and 1 million having used foodbanks within the last 12 months .

Pre Market Engagement Notice: OCID: ocds-h6vhtk-0695d6 The Diverse Angel Syndicate (DAS) Programme supports the development and sustainability of diversity-focused angel syndicates across the UK. The programme aims to broaden participation in angel investing, increase investment into diverse founders, and strengthen the capability of emerging angel syndicates across the UK nations and regions. DAS places a particular emphasis on engaging and supporting new and novice angels, with the aim of broadening access to angel investing as an asset class and improving confidence, capability and participation among underrepresented groups. The programme is expected to support approximately 10–15 syndicates, delivered through three cohorts of up to five syndicates each, in addition to the current cohort of five. Successful applicants will receive a package of financial and non-financial support, including funding for operational costs, training and capability-building, guidance on operational tooling and infrastructure, and access to peer learning and ecosystem connections through the programme. As part of the non-financial support offer, British Business Bank Plc (“British Business Bank” or “BBB” or “Buyer) is seeking to procure a training provider to design, deliver, and support a Train-the-Trainer education programme for angel syndicate leads across the United Kingdom. The aim of this programme is to upskill syndicate leads to deliver consistent, high-quality training to their own syndicate members. BBB anticipates that the contract will span a period of up to four years. During this time, supported syndicates are expected to continue recruiting new angel investors on a rolling basis. As such, the training requirement is expected to be front-loaded, with an initial focus on programme design, content development and early delivery, followed by a transition to a lighter-touch model in later years. This is likely to include ongoing support, updates to training materials, and periodic engagement to maintain quality and relevance. The training offer is expected to be modular in structure and designed to: support angel activation and portfolio understanding for new / novice angels enable syndicates to tailor delivery to their own membership base establish a minimum standard of training across supported syndicates ensure clarity of purpose and avoid duplication between syndicate development and angel education ocds-h6vhtk-0695d6 Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:55:02 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-b5fd17-f4bbf3a6-2888-4416-8ad1-5f4145b5c1c1 Newry, Mourne and Down District Council (NMD) - NMANDD PEACEPLUS Local Action Plan Thriving Together - From Tradition to Tomorrow, Rural Men's Skills Exchange - Rowallane DEA.

Opportunities available for the Adult Skills Programme are categorised in accordance with the following funding streams to be incorporated into the structure of a Flexible Framework ("the Framework"): Lot 1 - Skills Foundation Lot 2 - Skills Activation Lot 3 - Skills for Work Procurement Procedure: This procurement involves the establishment of a light touch flexible framework under Section 45 of the Procurement Act 2023 ("the Act") using the flexibilities permitted under the Act in respect to light touch contracts (defined under Section 9 of the Act). The Flexible Framework will be use primarily for the future award of light touch services of adult training and learning provision. The Council reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to amend the structure of the Framework at any time, including (but not limited to) the addition of new Lots and/or the revision, consolidation, or reclassification of existing Lot headings where required to reflect programme needs, funding changes, or strategic priorities for the remaining duration of the Framework. The Framework shall be reopened in accordance with the Procurement Timetable to facilitate the admission of new entrants. In the event that a Supplier does not successfully satisfy the Stage One - Selection Criteria and associated Minimum Requirements ("Stage One"), this shall not preclude the Supplier from future participation. Such Suppliers will be permitted to submit a new application upon any subsequent reopening of the Framework in accordance with the Procurement Timetable. Contract opportunities shall be issued via the relevant funding stream and evaluated in accordance with the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) criteria, with due consideration given to quality, price, and social value. The Council's Learning, Skills and Employability Service ("LSE") is responsible for commissioning and managing this programme to ensure that adult learners develop the skills, knowledge and qualifications required to secure sustainable employment, progress in work and improve life chances. The Service has an established track record of working effectively with subcontracted training providers and applies robust contract management, performance monitoring and quality assurance arrangements to ensure high-quality delivery, measurable learner progression and value for public investment. A key focus of the Adult Skills Programme will be the achievement of agreed contract outcomes and outputs. Subcontracted providers will be required to deliver against clearly defined performance measures, including learner participation, retention, achievement, progression and positive destinations. The LSE will actively monitor performance throughout the funding year and work with Suppliers to support continuous improvement, ensuring delivery remains compliant with funding rules, contractual requirements and learner and employer needs. The commissioning approach is informed by local, regional and national priorities, with particular emphasis on regional needs and opportunities affecting Sunderland and the wider North East. Provision commissioned through this programme will align with Sunderland City Council's Skills and Employment Strategy 2026-2030, supporting inclusive economic growth, improved productivity and progression opportunities for residents. In addition, delivery is expected to reflect the principles of the New Deal for North East Workers, promoting fair work, improved access to skills, better employment outcomes and targeted support for those furthest from the labour market. Suppliers must note that the subcontracting of any part of the requirements under this Procurement is strictly prohibited. Any indication by a Supplier of an intention to subcontract any part of a Call Off Contract will result in an automatic failure at Stage One, the bid will therefore not proceed to further evaluation. Suppliers should therefore review the contents of the procurement documentation including the Specification in detail. Please note a supplier briefing session will be held via Microsoft Teams at 2:00pm Thursday 2nd July 2026 if you would like to attend please request an invite via the correspondence section in OPEN detailing email addresses of who would like to attend. ocds-h6vhtk-069410 Wed, 01 Jul 2026 12:50:06 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06c12d Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council - Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council (ABC or ‘the Council’) is the largest local authority outside of Belfast with a resident population of over 217,000 people.
