This is a UK2 Preliminary Market Engagement Notice only. Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust (the “Authority”) is undertaking preliminary market engagement in accordance with sections 16–17 of the Procurement Act 2023 and the Procurement Regulations 2024, to inform the design of a potential future procurement for a managed service programme covering (indicatively) Endoscopy, Radiology, Theatres, and Cath Labs / Cardiothoracic & Vascular services. The Authority’s objectives for this engagement are to: (i) test the feasibility of different managed service / managed equipment service models; (ii) understand market capacity and capability (including SME and VCSE participation); (iii) explore commercial options (risk allocation, performance regimes, pricing structures, financing approaches); and (iv) identify innovation opportunities and potential constraints (workforce, estates, data, interoperability, and supply chain resilience). This engagement builds on a recent Request for Information exercise. The Authority is particularly interested in supplier input on: scope options (single integrated service vs. lots by modality), transition and mobilisation approaches, asset lifecycle management, consumables and inventory management, service continuity and resilience, and how outcomes and key performance indicators could be structured to support patient access and productivity improvements. Indicative scope areas for discussion (non-exhaustive): • Consumables and non-pay spend (e.g., gloves, syringes, dressings, surgical consumables, consignment stock) • Inventory and supply chain optimisation (e.g., stock management, just-in-time supply, waste reduction, catalogue management, logistics) • Capital equipment and managed equipment services (e.g., core/modality equipment, maintenance, replacement planning, asset management, decontamination/CSSD interfaces) • Facilities management interfaces (e.g., hard/soft FM dependencies and any lifecycle responsibilities that sit with the managed service) • Clinical pathways and service redesign (e.g., utilisation, demand management, pathway standardisation and productivity initiatives) The feedback from this engagement will inform the design of any future service model and the Authority’s procurement approach. Any dates, values, and commercial structures referenced at this stage are indicative only and may change. Important: This notice and the market engagement activity do not constitute a call for competition and do not begin a procurement. Participation is voluntary, is not a condition of participation in any future procurement, and will not be used to assess or pre-qualify suppliers. To protect fair competition and avoid any supplier gaining an unfair advantage, the Authority intends (where appropriate) to: share key engagement information and clarifications with the wider market via the eProcurement portal; keep an audit trail of engagement activity; apply the same ground rules to all participants; and ensure any future procurement documentation reflects relevant information exchanged during engagement. Participants must not rely on any statements made during engagement as commitments by the Authority. Further engagement (indicative): In addition to the live webinar, the Authority may undertake further market engagement activities such as a written questionnaire, follow-up virtual group sessions, and/or time-limited 1:1 supplier meetings. Any 1:1 meetings will be optional and, if capacity is limited, will be offered using a fair and transparent approach (for example, first-come-first-served or a published selection method). The Authority may also arrange site familiarisation visits where appropriate; any information shared that is relevant to the wider market will be communicated via the eProcurement portal. Following this engagement, the Authority may (without obligation): • refine the indicative scope and requirements; • undertake further targeted engagement (e.g., questionnaires, follow-up sessions); • publish a Planned Procurement Notice (UK3) and/or other notices as appropriate; and/or • commence a formal competitive procurement. Suppliers who register for the engagement will be able to view subsequent communications via the eProcurement portal. All future procurement notices (if any) will be published in accordance with the Act on the central digital platform.

Suffolk County Council (SCC) are currently out to tender for an Alternative Provision Tier One (Outreach) Service. A tender notice (2026/S 000-022023) for this service was originally published on 11 March 2026. However, due to changes in the budget envelope, the tender was cancelled and a procurement termination notice (2026/S 000-030429) was published on 1 April 2026. The previous procurement identifier (OCID) was ocds-h6vhtk-05e9aa and the reference was PA0035. A new reference number of PA0035-1 has been allocated for this new tender. Changes to the original tender documents have been recorded and a summary of the changes will be included within the tender documentation. The service involves delivering targeted early support within mainstream schools, supporting children across all Key Stages 1 - 4, to address emerging needs promptly. The goal is to provide assistance before challenges escalate for children, reducing the likelihood of exclusion, maximising engagement and participation in learning and promoting inclusion with the mainstream educational environment. Timely outreach support and robust intervention with Children and Young People (CYP) to ensure they can succeed and remain in mainstream education will raise education attainment and skill levels. This is important as these CYP are often our most vulnerable in our communities and failure to secure a good quality educational offer can often lead to a reliance upon other services such as social care or mental health providers. The CYP who will be referred, and who will access the Tier 1 Outreach support, will have complex needs that will require the provider to tailor their approach to the individual needs of the young person. This will involve working in partnership with other agencies, schools and stakeholders as well as parents/carers and the young people themselves to ensure best outcomes. The primary objective of Tier 1 AP is to provide specific support around barriers to learning and enable pupils to remain in their referring school. The Special Educational Needs/Alternative Provision Service Development Team has a core focus on commissioning high quality educational provision for vulnerable and disadvantaged learners as well as ensuring that this cohort of pupils can make progress based on age, ability and prior achievement through easy access to a robust 'Local Offer' as set out in the SEND reforms (Special Education Needs and Disability Code of Practice: 0 to 25 years). Historically there has been a significant increase in the number of young people permanently excluded across all Key Stages. Suffolk County Council has a continued commitment to provide the right intervention at the right time. As such, this Tier 1 AP Outreach programme can have a key impact to avoid exclusion.

This procurement exercise is being run by Cambridge City Council for and on behalf of Cambridge City Council.

Cambridge City Council are seeking a supplier to print two separate residents' magazines- Cambridge Matters and Open Door.

Open Door is Cambridge City Council's tenant and leaseholder magazine, to be delivered to all 7700 tenants and leaseholders in the city as a 16-page, full colour, A4 sized magazine.

CITB is seeking to procure two items of plant machinery to support its Plant Operator training operations. The first requirement is for a new or very low hour ex-demo 25-30 tonne Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) to replace a machine sold in 2025 and restore the ADT training fleet to four machines. With the fleet currently operating at three machines, the training department faces ongoing challenges in allocating learners effectively. Whilst hiring has been considered, ADTs are a highly specialist machine, carry significant hire costs, and availability across the UK market is severely limited due to demand from major ongoing construction projects. Those machines available for hire do not meet the required standard for training purposes. The second requirement is for a new or very low hour ex-demo agricultural tractor to replace an aging machine used in the preparation of Plant Operator training fields and for apprentice and commercial training activity. The current tractor carries a high number of operational hours due to frequent use, and maintenance costs are increasing as a result. This ground preparation function is essential to the continued operation of the training field. Whilst a dozer can be used as an alternative, the running and repair costs associated with this type of machine make it an unviable long-term solution.
