The United Kingdom National Nuclear Lab (UKNNL) requires the provision of an Autotitrator. To ensure a comprehensive view on the current situation, we are issuing the attached Early Engagement RFI to receive input from the supply market. Early Engagement RFI Submission Deadline = 22/04/2025 (complete and return Early Engagement RFI Autotitrator. This exercise is a request for information, it does not constitute a formal procurement process. The purpose of this exercise is to assess the interest and capabilities within current markets to deliver this service. UKNNL may choose to contact suppliers based on the information provided in this questionnaire. If you prefer not to be contacted, please clearly indicate this preference in your questionnaire response. UKNNL assure you that any information provided during this exercise will not adversely affect the evaluation of any offers you may submit in response to any future Invitations to Tender. Background: UKNNL are looking to expand their analytical capabilities in the area of automated titration. This new capability will be housed in a new facility which is currently in the design phase. Scope: The requirements for the system have been provisionally assessed and this RFI has been produced to assess the feasibility of the market being able to provide equipment as either a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) or Modified Off The Shelf (MOTS) solution which can be operated/maintained/replaced within the confines of the proposed facility. The proposed facility is a suite of alpha-active total engineered containment boxes (gloveboxes). The equipment will be placed in one of these. It will have an inert atmosphere and operate at ambient temperature (15-23 °C). Once commissioned the only routine access to the equipment will be through a circular 12” port. Interaction with the equipment will be through fixed position ambidextrous gloves (see Figure 1 for an indicative image of the facility).

Airedale NHS Foundation Trust ("the Trust") is progressing its Securing the Future (StF) programme, a Wave 1 scheme under the national New Hospital Programme (NHP). This initiative represents a significant strategic opportunity to modernise the Trust's estate and transform clinical delivery models in line with the Hospital 2.0 design principles. As an early pathfinder site, the Trust is positioned to influence and contribute to the development of future hospital standards and digitally enabled care environments. As the programme moves into the next phase of design development, the Trust is undertaking structured early market engagement to explore how innovative digital technologies and integrated solutions can support the delivery of Hospital 2.0 objectives, notably the transition to single‑patient‑room models of care. The Trust is particularly interested in solutions that can address the following priority areas: * Enhancing staff-patient communication: enabling patients to communicate their needs effectively and enabling staff to manage and prioritise tasks efficiently and safely across single‑room environments. * Supporting staff coordination across enlarged ward footprints: facilitating real‑time collaboration, communication, and staff location to improve workflow efficiency across expanded clinical areas. * Strengthening patient and clinical safety: enabling continuous or event‑based monitoring, improving response times and reducing unnecessary alarms, while mitigating the risk of alarm fatigue. * Optimising patient flow and operational management: supporting end‑to‑end patient movement within the hospital and enabling effective coordination with community services to improve throughput and discharge efficiency. To support this engagement, the Trust will host a virtual market engagement event at 10:30am on 23 April 2026. This session will outline the Trust's objectives, provide further context regarding the StF programme, and describe the thematic areas where market insight is sought. The briefing will be delivered by the Securing the Future programme team. Kindly be advised that, owing to anticipated attendance numbers, participation may be restricted to a maximum of two representatives per organisation. Following the event, the Trust will invite participants to provide structured feedback to help inform its understanding of available technologies, market capability, potential operating models, and integration approaches. Information gathered will support the Trust's future strategic planning and may inform the development of any subsequent procurement approach. Details of how to submit feedback will be provided during the event. For the avoidance of doubt, this activity constitutes early market engagement only. It does not form part of any procurement process, does not commit the Trust to undertake a procurement exercise, and does not confer any advantage in relation to any future competition undertaken by the Trust under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Act 2023.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) will host a portfolio level Supplier Engagement Event in Islamabad, on 22 April 2026. The day will include senior speakers from the British High Commission and FCDO Commercial, alongside workshops and portfolio presentations relating to the BHC Pakistan pipeline and networking opportunities. This event aims to inform suppliers about the strategic direction of upcoming development sector work in Pakistan and strengthen market understanding of FCDO’s evolving commercial approach. Ministerial-level UK-Pakistan Development Talks were held in December 2025 (see press release) - aiming to advance a partnership of mutual interest, aligning UK support with Pakistan’s development priorities. Globally, the UK is modernising its approach to international development, by focusing on four strategic shifts: 1. From Donor to Investor: partnering with countries to unlock growth, jobs and trade through innovative finance and private sector investment. 2. From Service Delivery to System Support: helping countries build their own education, health and economic systems – so they can thrive without aid. 3. From Grants to Expertise: moving from delivering programmes to leveraging global expertise to work alongside partners to solve challenges. 4. From International Intervention to Local Leadership: working increasingly alongside local partners including civil society, rather than large international interventions. What are the expected results and Impact? Within each of these areas, we have prioritised the key shifts (or “big changes”) we think Pakistan needs to make to improve human development outcomes, where there is traction and alignment with UK interests and expertise. Export-led Growth • Pakistan’s federal government, and most populous provinces (KP, Punjab and Sindh) tackle policy barriers to economic growth, particularly fiscal foundations, business environment reforms. • Medium and large export-oriented firms in high-potential sectors - IT and IT-enabled services, pharmaceuticals, engineering goods and food & drink - realise export potential, including to the UK where possible. Security & Migration • Reduction in irregular migration and serious organised crime from Pakistan to the UK. Climate, Nature & Humanitarian • More Public and Private Climate Finance mobilised through our programming and policy influencing • Systemic shift by Pakistan and the UK to preparedness, anticipatory and adaptive disaster management • Practical implementation of Climate Adaptation and nature protection into the federal, provincial and district policies and practices Human Capital Systems Strengthening • Stronger health care systems to improve quality and access to essential health care. Improved health financing. • Sustainable population growth through family planning. • Inclusive and early foundational learning. Teacher professionalisation - early childhood education, primary and secondary. Education financing is more accountable.

To support the renewal of England’s women’s health strategy in the coming months, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is exploring collaboration opportunities with stakeholders from the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) and private sectors interested in supporting the improvement of women’s health outcomes. The renewed women's health strategy will set out the government’s ambitions for women’s health in the context of the 10 Year Health Plan and focus on the key themes of women being listened to and getting the care they need, women being supported to make reproductive choices, and women being empowered and supported to prevent future ill health. The forthcoming renewed women's health strategy will build on the core objectives of the existing Women's health strategy https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/womens-health-strategy-for-england/womens-health-strategy-for-england and the 10 Year Health Plan for England https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/10-year-health-plan-for-england-fit-for-the-future and both should be used as a framework for this exercise. We are asking interested parties to complete a questionnaire detailing their proposal at this link: https://forms.office.com/e/Rxbv8jvT1t The questionnaire will close for responses at 12:0pm on 22nd of April 2026. Further guidance on how to complete the questionnaire can be found at the following link: https://atamis-1928.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/Pz00000IaOZK/G0YmgVuobfYOa6XQ9fi1Az3mJA_kfBnqq7DoCPxAWL4 DHSC is specifically looking at collaborating on a “value in kind” basis and we are especially interested in hearing about planned or ongoing initiatives focusing on addressing health inequalities for women which could include: • Health literacy, • Prevention and barriers to women’s access to appropriate health provision, • Engagement and/or positive experience with the health system, and • Securing funding for these.

Further to the market engagement undertaken earlier this year, and subsequent work to consider information sharing and associated risks, the Police and Crime Commissioner on behalf of a multisector funding partnership, is exploring the commissioning of a pilot approach. This approach would combine the sourcing of private sector tenancies for high risk offenders with separate engagement, support, and oversight of those offenders. This relates specifically to tenancies that are not classified as supported exempt accommodation. The proposed pilot would require a number of specific supplier capabilities which we understand may be unusual, particularly within the timeframes involved. We are therefore seeking to verify our understanding by issuing this Request for Information, the responses to which will help inform our next steps. We would be very grateful if you could take the time to respond using the text boxes and dropdown options provided. Your input will play an important role in shaping the development of the plan going forward, including the appropriate route to market. The Pre-Liminary Market Engagement (PME) will support DC with the development of a Business Case (BC). To formally engage with the market, this PME Questionnaire has been designed to allow Derbyshire Constabulary to conduct a comprehensive review of existing providers of High-Risk Offender Private Rented Sector Accommodation.
