It will include a broad range of services including but not limited to General Patient Laundry and Linen Service (Hired and Trust Owned), CE Marked Barrier Theatre Textiles (Hired and Trust Owned), Managed Services, Consultancy/Training, Installation, Repairs and Maintenance of Laundry Equipment, Provision of Commercial Laundry Equipment (Purchase and Lease), Provision of Industrial Laundry Equipment (Purchase and Lease).

The purpose of this contract is to provide comprehensive make ready and transportation services for the Trust, involving vehicle preparation and cleaning service for Ambulances including monitoring and re-stocking medical equipment/consumables. This service must ensure that all service vehicles within the scope of the specification are cleaned and equipped to the required standards, and within the agreed timescales/frequency. Also providing C1 classified drivers to deliver transport solutions between Trust sites and service garages, to meet operational support requirements in an efficient manner ensuring adherence to safe and efficient delivery of services, supporting the roles of Fleet Maintenance, Operations and Make Ready. Deviations from the specification may result in compromised delivery of the front-line service and therefore directly impact on patient care. The contract will be for an initial 3-year period, with a potential two further 2-year extension opportunities. The Trust will offer a site visit on 7th April 2026, for any bidders who didn't attend the pre-market engagement event held on 7th November 2025. This visit gives bidders the opportunity to see the make ready process at one of our centres. Potential bidders wishing to attend must confirm attendance via the messaging service on the E-Tendering Portal by 1st April 2026 - see Document 1 of the ITT Pack for further information. The Trust wishes to extend the use of any resulting contract to Southern Ambulance Services Collaboration ("SASC") members. These Trusts shall contract directly with the successful Provider using the SBS Order Form. Further information on SASC described in Document 1 of the ITT Pack.

The Authority would like to engage with potential providers to explore the delivery of Pharmacy Services across Physical Health for Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust. The Trust provides a broad range of Physical Health Services across all age groups. These services include inpatient care, minor injuries management, and a wide spectrum of specialist community services. Many of these are delivered through 6 community hospitals; however, care is also offered within other community venues where this may be more convenient and accessible to patients. Wherever possible, the Trust prioritises supporting people within their own homes or as close to home as feasible, ensuring care is delivered in the most patient-centred manner. This Pre-Market Engagement aims to understand the market’s capacity, capability, and interest in providing these services. We are looking to learn more about what potential providers can offer and to shape our thinking before making any decisions about the future service model. The feedback received will help the Authority decide on the best way forward, including whether there is sufficient market interest. In the absence of responses, we may reasonably conclude that there is limited provider capability or appetite for this opportunity. This is an opportunity for potential providers to share their views and experience to help us plan effectively for the provision of these services, by responding to the pre-market engagement questionnaire. The Trust will contact all suppliers who participated once the pre‑market engagement has closed, to arrange a supplier feedback meeting. We expect these meetings to take place before 1 May 2026. Although this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice has been issued under the Procurement Act 2023, this does not represent a commitment that any subsequent procurement process, should one be undertaken, will necessarily be governed and conducted under the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 (including the Light Touch Regime).

This tender is for the partial demolition of a Service Wing at Hinchingbrooke Hospital that includes Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) panels. The winning bidder will take ownership from RIBA stage 4 through to completion of work. Initial works will include the validation of the RIBA3 designs to an agreed RIBA4 design. The works include the refurbishment of existing facilities to accommodate staff movement. Following the refurbishment the building will require demolition in accordance with the Trust phasing plan provided in the tender pack. A final element of the works will involve the construction of a new road to connect current roads. All of the above works will take place in a live hospital environment. This work sits within the enabling works for the Hinchingbrooke Hospital new build so it is vital that the programme dates are achieved as planned to avoid any delays to construction of the main build. The approximate cost of the work is £10.6m inclusive of Fee's, equipment, trust direct costs, contingency, inflation + VAT. This is part of the NHS England New Hospitals Programme (NHP) so there will be a delay of 5 weeks between notification of outcome to bidders and commencement of contract due to sign off of the business case by NHP. In accordance with PPN 03/24 the Trust is using the Common Assessment Standard as the supplier questionnaire.

Original UK4 Tender Notice: UK-2584 The Social Impact Framework provides a route to market for public sector organisations to commission services that improve social outcomes and address health inequalities. It supports the commissioning of services that influence the wider determinants of health - the social and environmental factors that affect people’s wellbeing, such as housing, employment, education, community support and access to services. The framework enables NHS organisations, Integrated Care Boards, local authorities and other public sector partners to identify organisations delivering these services and procure them in a fair and transparent way. Rather than running a full procurement process each time a service is required, public bodies can use the framework to access organisations that have already been assessed and approved. The framework is now approaching its first reopening, which will provide an opportunity for additional organisations to apply to join the framework.

This Pre-Market Engagement (PME) process is to allow the market the opportunity to assist, recommend and input into the development of NHS LPP’s new Clinical Artificial Intelligence (CAI) Framework Agreement prior to the release of the Invitation to Tender (ITT). The CAI framework will compliantly allow for both innovation of products/solutions within the lifetime of the framework, as well as maintain a comprehensive direct award mechanism for all framework suppliers and contracting authorities, by utilising the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 2023) Section 49 – Open Frameworks. Open Frameworks facilitate growth, utilising this route to market enables NHS LPP’s ability to correspond to the increased demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) enablement across both the NHS and social care. The framework will be split into three lots: Direct Clinical Support, Indirect Clinical Support and NHS England’s Federated Data Platform Solution Exchange (FDP SX).

The Authority is procuring a TCN Supplier in each regional Lot to deliver the Theory Test Centre Network (TCN) Service, providing secure and accessible front end test delivery for all theory test types across Great Britain and Northern Ireland. DVSA are procuring, and contracting for, the service on behalf of the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) in Northern Ireland. The Service must deliver a fully compliant Test Centre estate that meets the Authority’s 40/40 accessibility requirement, ensuring all Candidates are located within 40 minutes (urban) or 40 miles (rural) of a test centre in each region. In Northern Ireland, mandatory test centre provision is required in Ballymena, Belfast, Londonderry, Omagh, Portadown and Newry. All proposed sites will require Authority approval during implementation. The TCN Supplier will be responsible for providing a responsive scheduling system offering a real time, six month forward view of test availability to the Authority’s booking systems, reflecting test duration, demand and test type requirements. The Service includes delivery of on-site invigilation to maintain test integrity; detection and deterrence of fraud; and support for incident reporting and investigative activity integrating with Authority systems. The TCN Supplier must provide all necessary infrastructure and technology within each test centre, including secure hardware and software, on premises server capability, resilient network connectivity, CCTV, and sufficient equipment to deliver all standard and non-standard test adjustments for candidates with additional needs. The Service must support Welsh language options, voiceovers, British Sign Language (BSL), and—where applicable—additional language voiceovers in Northern Ireland. TCN Suppliers must also deliver approved Non Standard Adjustments including extra time, separate testing rooms, adapted equipment, signers, interpreters, language modifiers, readers, recorders, audio requirements (NI only), and home testing (not remote proctoring) where authorised. Multi client test sites are permitted provided they do not impede delivery of the Authority’s requirements and only with Authority approval. The TCN Service excludes delivery of tests in In House Theory Test Centres (IHTTCs). Further details of the scope are contained in the procurement documents (which include the draft contract), which are available on the Jaggaer portal. Lotting: The TCN Service is packaged into three regional Lots of broadly equivalent historic and forecast test volumes based on Government Office Region geographies: • Region 1: includes the Government Office Regions of Scotland, North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber and Northern Ireland. • Region 2: includes the Government Office Regions of Wales, West Midlands, South East and South West. • Region 3: includes the Government Office Regions of East Midlands, East of England and London. The Authority is seeking to appoint a different TCN Supplier in each regional Lot at contract award stage to develop a more diversified supply base. However, there is no limit on the number of Lots that a supplier can bid for. In certain circumstances, where defined objective eligibility and value for money criteria are met, a supplier may be awarded a maximum of two regional Lots, while a one-Lot cap applies where such criteria are not met. The detail of this is set out in the contract award mechanism in the procurement documents. Additional Services: The Authority has identified several potential future developments that may be explored through the regional contracts and in the delivery of the TCN Service. These Additional Services fall within the overall scope of the contract and may, where required, be implemented through the contract’s change control procedure. The Authority is therefore clearly signalling these areas to the market at this stage, and further detail is available in the procurement documents. The Additional Services are: • Exploring remote testing/proctoring technology in the delivery of the Service. • Exploring the use of end‑to‑end cloud architecture in the delivery of the Service. • Adding other Authority or Department for Transport tests into Service delivery. • Adding wider government tests into Service delivery. • Enabling validation of Digital Driving Licences. • Enhanced identification checking.
