Midland Heart is committed to ensuring that its homes, estates, and communal environments are safe, attractive, sustainable, and well-maintained for the benefit of our tenants, colleagues, and wider communities. Well-managed external and internal communal areas contribute significantly to tenant satisfaction, neighbourhood pride, health and wellbeing, and the overall perception of our services. To support the future procurement and delivery of grounds maintenance, communal cleaning, and associated estate services, Midland Heart is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake comprehensive surveys across approximately 100 sites to begin with, within our portfolio. The purpose of this contract is to establish a complete, accurate, and consistent baseline of information that will inform future service specifications, asset schedules, maintenance frequencies, budgeting, procurement activities, and contract management arrangements. The successful contractor will be required to survey all relevant external and internal communal areas at each site. The surveys shall include, but not be limited to: Grounds Maintenance: • Grassed areas and lawns; • Shrub beds and planted areas; • Bushes, hedges, and other soft landscaping features; • Hard landscaped and paved areas, including footpaths, access routes, parking areas, and other hard surfaces; • Minimal/ Biodiverse areas • Any additional grounds maintenance assets requiring routine maintenance; All surveyed assets shall be measured and recorded in square metres (m²) where applicable, with sufficient detail to support future service schedules and pricing exercises. The contractor shall also identify and record any overgrowth, unmanaged vegetation, fly-tipping, redundant landscaping features, damaged assets, health and safety concerns, or items that may require removal, including trees and other vegetation. Communal Cleaning: • Internal communal spaces including corridors, stairwells, entrance halls, lobbies, kitchens, laundry areas, internal bin stores, lifts, landings, and other shared areas; • Location of sockets for connection to deliver Window Cleaning: • For individual property windows and communal windows, include: the number of window spaces, window type, accessibility arrangements, and any access requirements for future cleaning or maintenance • Separating the data for individual and communal windows For each building, confirm the number of floors (ground floor is floor 1). We consider one window within the brick (counts as 1 window). Document for each site hard to reach windows (e.g. close road, restrictions to access), excessive glassed areas, conservatories, sky lights, wouldn't be accessible by a window cleaning pole and reach (e.g. flat roof in front of the window). The survey outputs should provide Midland Heart with a comprehensive understanding of each site's maintenance requirements and any opportunities to improve efficiency, sustainability, service quality, or value for money. The information collected should be presented in a clear and structured format that can be readily used for future tendering and operational management purposes. We are seeking a partner who will approach this project collaboratively and professionally, recognising the importance of accuracy, consistency, and attention to detail. The survey findings will form a critical component of future service procurements and must therefore be robust, reliable, and fully auditable. We are looking for providers that can: • Deliver comprehensive and accurate surveys across a diverse property portfolio; • Apply a consistent surveying methodology across all locations; • Capture detailed measurements and asset information sufficient for future service specification and pricing; • Identify maintenance requirements, defects, overgrowth, and assets requiring removal or replacement; • Produce accurate site plans, schedules, photographs, and supporting documentation where required; • Maintain proactive and responsive communication throughout the contract; • Deliver high standards of quality assurance and data validation; • Work collaboratively with Midland Heart colleagues to resolve queries and validate survey findings. The contractor shall provide a detailed mobilisation plan and programme of works, clearly setting out how surveys will be delivered across the portfolio. A realistic and achievable timetable shall be agreed with Midland Heart at contract commencement, with regular progress reporting throughout the survey programme to ensure delivery against agreed milestones and completion dates. We expect the successful contractor to deploy suitably qualified, competent, and experienced personnel to undertake the surveys. Surveyors should possess relevant professional qualifications and/or demonstrable experience in grounds maintenance, arboriculture, landscaping, estate management, building surveying, or related disciplines appropriate to the survey requirements. The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all personnel are adequately trained, comply with health and safety legislation, and can undertake surveys safely, professionally, and consistently across all sites. This contract will be underpinned by a collaborative "One Team" approach, with close working relationships between Midland Heart and the appointed contractor. We anticipate regular communication at both operational and strategic levels to ensure survey quality, timely issue resolution, and successful delivery of the programme. The overall objective is to provide Midland Heart with a complete, accurate, and auditable record of all relevant external and internal communal assets and maintenance requirements across the portfolio, enabling the organisation to procure future contracts with confidence and continue delivering safe, attractive, and well-maintained environments for tenants and communities.

National Highways is a government owned organisation responsible for operating, maintaining and improving the strategic road network National Highways seeks to undertake exploratory research into the Magnetic Main Flux Method (MMFM), an advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) technique used to detect internal corrosion, wire breaks, and deterioration in bridge cable systems. This research will investigate the method’s suitability, performance, and adaptability for the United Kingdom’s bridge stock, particularly within aging suspension, cable-stayed, prestressed and post-tensioned concrete structures. There are claims that MMFM could demonstrate effectiveness under various protective layers—including cement grout, galvanisation, coatings, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sheathing, and wax—while providing quantitative assessment of corrosion and residual cable capacity. This exploratory work aims to understand if these claims for MMFM can be technically validated, and adaption for deployment under UK environmental and operational conditions could be considered. This notice forms part of a preliminary market engagement process under the Procurement Act 2023. It is intended solely to support exploratory research and does not constitute a call for competition or commit National Highways to any future procurement. All information shared during this process will be managed in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

The Defence Medical Academy (DMA) delivers a broad portfolio of medical training courses across Defence and requires a responsive, efficient and compliant solution for the provision, sustainment and support of high-fidelity medical simulation manikins. 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.

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) is seeking to engage with the market ahead of a formal procurement process for the provision of a Retail Outlet(s). The Trust is undertaking this pre-market engagement to gain a better understanding of the market's capacity, capability, and appetite to deliver the requirements within the new build facility at one of its hospital sites. Feedback from this exercise will help inform and finalise the development of the procurement strategy and final service specification. Interested suppliers are invited to contact the Trust (see details within this notice) to obtain the proforma and details of an on-site engagement session to be held on TUESDAY 4th AUGUST (afternoon).

The Trust, for its healthcare system across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and into Mid-Wales is delivering a major investment that will improve care for everyone through modern, purpose-built hospital facilities and ensure more people get the care they need, at the right time and in the right place. These plans have been led by our doctors and nurses to develop two thriving hospitals, supported by more services in the community. Construction work is well underway at RSH to build a new four storey facility at the RSH site which will be approximately 30,000 sqm and will provide the space we need to start our new ways of working and to provide a more positive experience for patients in calm, dedicated planned care facilities. PRH will become the site specialising in planned care, with RSH becoming the site specialising in emergency care, with the remodelled, larger Emergency Department at the RSH site and facilities including; - A modern, purpose-built Emergency Department - A new, expanded Critical Care Unit - Consultant led maternity care - Children's inpatient services - Emergency medical specialist services, including cardiology, stroke, respiratory and acute medicine - Emergency and trauma surgery - Head and neck inpatient services - Radiotherapy and inpatient and day cancer care and treatment This means they can make quicker decisions about care. The clinical model: Both our hospitals will continue to provide a number of services, which include: - Adult and children's outpatients - Urgent care services and medical Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) - Diagnostics, imaging services including X-ray - Frail and elderly care services Within the new build facility there will also be a new Main Entrance, with open plan reception and hospitality offer. VISION The Trust's vision is to create a flagship retail hub within the Main Entrance that: • Enhances the hospital arrival and waiting experience. • Provides a high-quality café, retail and seating environment. • Supports staff wellbeing and convenience. • Provides access to food, beverages and essential products 24 hours a day. • Delivers a financially sustainable commercial partnership. • Reflects NHS values, sustainability objectives and the quality expectations of a modern acute hospital. • As this is a new provision no data is available on usage or uptake There is more than 200sqm of space allocated for use by it's chosen retail outlet partner. The RSH site currently has 4,300 staff, with an additional 1,000 expected daily for the new extension.

There is a shortage of affordable housing in the City of Coventry, both within the social housing and the private rented sectors. Coventry is a non-stockholding authority, having transferred its housing stock in 2000 and closed its Housing Revenue Account (HRA). As of September 2025, there were over 10,500 households registered on the Council’s allocations scheme with 1,543 households in Band 1 (urgent need). The number of households in temporary accommodation (TA) has risen sharply in Coventry, with circa 1,000 families in TA. Coventry sought assistance with the scoping and development of an options appraisal for a model that will secure 200 properties, as a working number, to be let at a below market rent, to families currently living in TA. The council is keen to take decisive action to have a meaningful and strategic impact on the availability of affordable housing in Coventry to shift this position and reduce the number of households living in TA. The Council wishes to engage the market to consider the financial, legal, and operational feasibility of alternative options that may enable the securing of c. 200 properties.

Please note: THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION Background Under recent changes to planning legislation, Worcestershire County Council (WCC) has a responsibility to prepare a Minerals and Waste Plan. We are currently considering how to prioritise the use of internal and external resources to achieve challenging timescales for plan preparation and we may seek to procure professional services to support this. Existing plans The Waste Core Strategy was adopted in 2012 and is likely to need a comprehensive update. Officers have started work on the evidence base and WCC consulted on an early draft of the Waste Needs Assessment in Spring 2026 to inform this process. The extant Waste Core Strategy does not contain site allocations. The Minerals Local Plan was adopted in July 2022. Officers anticipate that much of the strategic direction may remain, however changes will be required to reflect any changes in national and local policy since the plan was adopted. The extant Minerals Local Plan designated “areas of search” but no “specific site” or “preferred area” allocations. Commencing plan preparation under the new system Due to the different ages of the Waste Core Strategy and Minerals Local Plan, different dates apply by which a “notice of intention to commence minerals and waste plan document preparation” under Regulation 44 must be given, and by which Gateway 1 “self-assessment of readiness for minerals and waste plan document preparation” must be published under Regulation 46 to formally commence the 30-month plan preparation timescale: • For waste: o Notice of intention to commence must be given by 31st December 2026 at the latest, o Self-assessment summary (Gateway 1) published by 30th April 2027 at the latest. • For minerals: o Notice of intention to commence must be given by 14th March 2027 at the latest, o Self-assessment summary (Gateway 1) published by 14th July 2027 at the latest. WCC has not yet determined whether the first Minerals and Waste Plan under the 2026 plan-making regulations will be produced as: - a Minerals and Waste Plan as a single document; or - a Waste Plan Document (with a Minerals Plan Document to follow); or - a Minerals Plan Document (with a Waste Plan Document to follow); or - separate Minerals Plan and Waste Plan Documents produced concurrently. The choice of plan option is a political decision that will be made in due course. However, timescales under the new plan-making system mean that, whichever option is progressed, preparatory work, including procuring contracts for statutory assessments or other packages of work, is needed in advance. We are aware that a large number of Planning Authorities may be commencing plan preparation to very similar timescales, and we are therefore seeking input from potential providers to inform development of any tender packages. Please answer the questions in the attached document (click on Synopsis) at the following link https://www.in-tendhost.co.uk/worcestershire/aspx/ProjectManage/6224 and send your response back via email to [email protected] 4pm on Tuesday 21st July 2026. All responses will be treated as confidential and not shared with other organisations, however, the final specification and tender model may be influenced by this and other stakeholders. Please note that the values and term are estimative and can be higher or lower depending on the results of this market engagement exercise.
