A key component of the service is the provision of reliable and safe transport. Transport providers are required to collect pupils and accompanying school staff from their respective schools, convey them to the designated swimming facility, and return them to school following the completion of each session. All participating schools and swimming pools are located within the Milton Keynes area.

THE GARAGE YOUTH CENTRE, ELING RECREATION GROUND, ELING, TOTTON SO40 9EB The Town Council is proposing to enter into an arrangement with an appropriate organisation to take over responsibility for the Garage Youth Centre. Given below is a very brief description of the proposals for potentially interested parties to allow them to consider if they wish to put forward an expression of interest. All those expressing an interest will then be sent the tender documents. Any further information required can be obtained from Susan Cutler, Town Clerk - email susan.cutler@tottoneling-tc.gov.uk or 023 8086 3138. Totton & Eling Town Council previously operated the above 'award winning' facility for over twenty-five years. It was originally based at St. Mary's Hall in Junction Road Totton with its purpose being to provide a drop-in centre offering a range of recreational activities to young people between the ages of 9 and 18. The Youth Centre then moved to its current location in a purpose designed building situated on Eling Recreation Ground. The current building has specific spaces for young people e.g. general area, music booth, Craft room, ball pit, physical activity area and tuck shop etc. The Centre was open at differing times each season but generally from 3pm to 7pm Tuesday to Friday (term-time). The Centre was staffed by a manager together with senior and assistant youth workers.

The school is a Single Academy Trust looking to appoint a caterer who supports the local team, and one who adds value to school life, participating in school and community events. The school is a State Boarding School, which brings a different dimension to the catering provision to a normal state secondary school. The contract being offered in this project is an initial term of 36 months, with two potential extensions of 12 months each being available giving a potential 60-month (5 Years) agreement. The senior leadership team of the Trust is keen to explore the available catering offers in the market today and is looking for the caterer to take commercial risk with a fixed price contract for the main dining room catering service, and the service provided to the boarding students. The Trust is seeking to develop a catering contract, which offers all students in each of the year group a wide range of healthy meal choices, excellent customer care and engagement, increased meal uptakes while maintaining value for money. The school will require regular engagement from their caterer and the provision of timely and relevant management information. At The Royal Grammar School High Wycombe, the catering service is regarded as a fundamental component of the school's educational, pastoral, and boarding provision. It is expected to contribute meaningfully to student health and wellbeing, support academic outcomes, and enhance the overall student experience, rather than operate solely as a transactional food service.

EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL (The Council) is seeking tenders from suitably qualified suppliers to provide Leachate Tankering Services. The County Council, as Waste Disposal Authority (WDA), must ensure that its old landfill sites, operated since 1974, do not pose a threat to the environment. Landfill gas and leachate are of primary concern. The WDA arranges for the disposal of between 28,000 and 45,000 m³ of leachate each year from five former landfill sites around the County. Leachate is the liquid that drains or 'leaches' from a landfill. It varies widely in composition depending on the age of the landfill and the type of waste that it contains. It usually contains both dissolved and suspended material. This material if left uncollected or not properly disposed can be harmful to the environment. Currently the County Council manages the leachate from five landfill sites across the county, by tankering it from these sites to Pebsham Landfill Transfer Station (approx. 36,000m³ per annum). This involves one lorry every day (5 loads of 20m³, 25,000m³/year) plus additional 1 or 2 lorries during the wettest period to a maximum of 15 loads per day during exceptionally wet conditions. These amounts vary and are generally driven by weather conditions. The handling and disposal of Leachate is regulated under the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations and guidance issued by the Environment Agency. The Council in following these guidelines and regulations has a contract for tankering which ends on 20 August 2026. There is a need to continue this service, to ensure the Council as WDA meets its responsibilities for the handling and disposal of Leachate.

Skanska is looking to appoint a subcontractor to provide concrete pumps for the Lower Thames Crossing (Kent Roads) project. The selected subcontractor will be required to supply all necessary labour, plant, and equipment. These works form part of the initial phase of the main construction programme, known as uninterrupted construction activities. Although the majority of the work will take place off-line, certain sections will be located online within the central reservation of the A2; therefore, proven experience in major highway schemes is essential. The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is a new road to better connect Essex and Kent through a tunnel beneath the River Thames. Our purpose is to drive a change in how we deliver - connecting people to jobs, businesses to opportunities, leaving a skills legacy for the local community and championing biodiversity and low-carbon construction. To support the project ambitions, we are committed to publishing opportunities on Contracts Finder to ensure full visibility for SMEs and local subcontractors. By doing so, we widen access to the Lower Thames Crossing supply chain, encourage participation from smaller and local businesses, and help unlock regional growth. This approach ensures that organisations of all sizes can compete fairly, strengthens local economies, and maximises the benefit of investment within the communities closest to the project. Our ambition is to deliver the UK's greenest road, and to do the right thing for local communities and the environment. We can only achieve this with the support of our supply chain, and it is therefore critical that for any supplier to be successful in winning work on LTC, they must demonstrate commitments to supporting delivery of our ambitions: • Supporting LTC to leave a skills legacy for the local community. This means recruiting a local workforce and upskilling the supply chain to enable meaningful progression into higher paid, higher skilled work. • Delivering LTC with the lowest practicable carbon. This includes adoption of our "zero emissions" intent, eradication of diesel on site and promotion of alternative sustainable fuels. • Helping to create successful opportunities by providing early careers roles, such as apprenticeships, and inspiring young people into construction through delivery of STEM engagement. The operatives involved in the works shall be competent with relevant qualifications and competency cards (CSCS) and have a Highway Passport. Additional information: Please complete the attached expression of interest form and return to steve.willis@skanska.co.uk.
