The successful Contractor will be responsible for the comprehensive supply, delivery, installation and associated support of office furniture and related products across the Authority’s estate. The Contractor must be capable of delivering the full scope of services across the entire geographical area of Scotland, including the Highlands, Islands and other remote locations. The Contractor must maintain sufficient resources, infrastructure, suitably qualified personnel, vehicles and delivery capability to provide a consistent, reliable and responsive service across all required locations throughout the duration of the Framework Agreement.

The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Warwickshire invites tenders for the provision of Victim Support Services across Warwickshire. The PCC seeks to commission experienced providers to deliver high-quality, accessible and specialist support services for victims and survivors of crime including family members and friends where appropriate, enabling individuals to cope with and recover from the impact of crime, access appropriate support and exercise their rights under the Victims' Code. Services will contribute to the PCC's wider priorities of supporting victims and survivors, protecting vulnerable people, improving access to justice, reducing violence against women and girls, reducing inequalities in access to support and improving wellbeing and recovery outcomes. The requirement is divided into four lots: • Lot 1 – Multi Crime Victim Service • Lot 2 – Sexual Violence Support Service • Lot 3 – Child Exploitation Support Service • Lot 4 – Slavery and Exploitation Support Service Bidders may tender for a single lot or multiple lots. Across the four lots, the PCC is seeking services that provide appropriate specialist support according to the needs and circumstances of victims and survivors. Services will be expected to provide equitable access to support across Warwickshire, manage demand, capacity and risk effectively, and work collaboratively with relevant statutory, criminal justice, health, safeguarding and voluntary and community sector partners. The successful provider(s) will be expected to have relevant experience and expertise appropriate to the lot(s) for which they tender and to provide suitably skilled, trained and resilient workforces. Providers will be required to maintain robust safeguarding arrangements and deliver inclusive services capable of responding appropriately to vulnerability and the differing needs of individuals accessing support. The contracts will be awarded for an initial period of three (3) years, commencing 1 April 2027, with an option to extend for up to a further two (2) years, subject to funding availability. Funding is allocated separately to each lot and is subject to the applicable funding terms and conditions. Suppliers should note that some funding streams are confirmed for limited periods only and funding levels may change during the contract period. Any underspent funding must be returned to the Authority and/or relevant funding body in accordance with the applicable funding conditions.

MyEnds 3.0 is an evolved version of the flagship VRU MyEnds programme which will run from April 2027 until March 2029. This new iteration will allow us to implement key learning from the MyEnds programmes and strengthen the key components of the overall programme design, optimising innovation with more targeted strategic alignment. Background to Current Service : The MyEnds programme utilises a hyper-local approach to address needs in neighbourhoods across the capital that are most affected by high and sustained levels of violence. The core model endorsed by the VRU for this programme is based on the empowerment of communities, recognising the critical role and collective impact community stakeholders have in local violence reduction initiatives. This is achieved through the delivery of key activity strands, including strengthening local partnerships, young people and community participation, capacity building of the grassroots sector, and the delivery of locally informed interventions. Evidence shows that a community-led approach, by those who know their area and its challenges best, is the most effective way to prevent violence. MyEnds provides communities with the tools and resources to deliver their own prevention measures. This includes support networks for parents and carers, after-school activities, youth work in neighbourhood youth clubs, mentoring and targeted support interventions. Service Requirements The VRU Area Prioritisation Tool, previously used to identify areas for the 2019 MyEnds pilot and MyEnds 2.0, has been refreshed with updated data and metrics to identify eligible locations for MyEnds 3.0. The tool identifies ward-level areas that have consistently ranked within the top 15% of London wards across a range of violence and public health indicators between 2021 and 2026. Based on this analysis, the 16 boroughs containing the highest-scoring wards have been shortlisted as eligible for the programme. The VRU is seeking community-based organisations or consortium bids led by a lead provider to deliver the programme across these boroughs. Bidders will be invited to provide additional evidence of local need within their proposed delivery locations as part of the application process. Eligible Boroughs: 1. Lambeth 2. Croydon 3. Southwark 4. Tower Hamlets 5. Newham 6. Enfield 7. Haringey 8. Hackney 9. Lewisham 10. Islington 11. Camden 12. Brent 13. Hillingdon 14. Greenwich 15. Wandsworth 16.

The UK government is acting on the Strategic Defence Review's recommendations by investing in the 'factories of the future' initiative, bringing energetics industries back to the UK, and strengthening our long-term national security by building up to six new energetics and munitions factories in the UK.  The purpose of this notice is to communicate the Ministry of Defence's (MoD's) intention to open grant windows to support the construction of new energetic synthesis facilities. The MoD expects there to be multiple grant windows, during which companies may submit grant proposals. The grants are designed to establish new, sustainable UK production capacity for critical energetic materials. We are seeking to strengthen the resilience and security of our munitions supply chain, reduce reliance on overseas sources and unlock significant private investment in UK manufacturing. Advertisement of these grants will take place on the UK Government Find a Grant portal which will then provide a link to the application form on the Defence Sourcing Portal. Any company can apply to any or all investment windows regardless of having prior engagement with MoD however only one grant per project will be awarded.   The first of these windows is planned to open imminently: This window will be open to applications for 6 weeks after which a down selection will take place based on the information provided in the application form. Those companies taken forward will be invited to further engage with the MoD to carry out due diligence and develop a grant award structure with the intention to issue Grant award letters to the successful companies within this fiscal year. Individual proposals will be eligible for grants of up to £45 million or 50% of the overall cost, whichever is smaller. The overall level of investment will depend on the quality and value for money assessment of proposals received, with funding decisions taken across the programme to ensure investment is targeted where it can deliver the greatest strategic benefit. Companies with credible proposals to invest in new UK energetic materials production capability are encouraged to apply. The grant competition is separate from the feasibility and engineering-design work already under way, and companies do not need to have participated in those earlier stages to apply. Proposals will need to demonstrate that they are technically credible, economically viable and capable of delivering strategically important UK production capability. Further grant windows are expected in Q2 and Q4 of 2027, however these are dependent on MoD need and may be subject to change. MoD investment will sit alongside the wider support opportunities offered by HM Government as set out in previous communications with industry. Additional information: Proposals for Grants are expected to demonstrate the following which will be assessed by a MoD technical panel: Economic viability Demonstrate that the project is commercially viable over the medium and long term. Available financing Demonstrate that the applicant has access to the remainder of the funding required to deliver the proposal should a grant be awarded. Technical credibility (including deliverability of the proposal) A comprehensive and credible plan of how the project will be delivered (max 15,000 words). This may consider: Process and product technical maturity. Design basis and key assumptions. Plant capability, flexibility and maintainability. Utilities, staffing, logistics, testing and storage. Safety and regulatory feasibility. Uncertainty, risks and mitigations. Credibility of cost, schedule and delivery strategy. Military usefulness The MoD has previously communicated materials of interest within the SDR Energetics programme. To maximise the number of materials that can be proposed either of the following requirements should be met: The material is a major ingredient in energetic formulations and in UK service. The material is a major component in energetic formulations and is not in UK service but could have some applicability to UK systems. Regulatory strategy Demonstrate how the relevant regulatory requirements will be met ensuring that the highest standards of safety and environmental protection continue to be met throughout the grant process.
