The Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF), administered by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, operates its own dedicated IT function, independent from the Council's centralised IT service. The Fund manages a modern digital estate built primarily on Microsoft 365, Azure, and virtualised infrastructure, supporting approximately 240 users. GMPF does not have a dedicated in-house cyber security team. Cyber responsibilities are distributed across general IT staff alongside broader operational duties. While the Fund has invested in Microsoft security technologies and maintains an external cyber incident response (IR) retainer, it does not have the capability to provide continuous 24/7 monitoring, threat investigation or proactive threat hunting. The current incident response retainer expires on 13 October 2026, and therefore the new contract should be in place by 1 September 2026, with the IR service commencing from 14 October 2026.

Worcester City Council is undertaking a Preliminary Market Engagement Exercise (PME) to support its Bereavement Services in understanding the current market for Memorial Calligraphy Services, including physical Books of Remembrance and associated digital or online formats. The purpose of this engagement is to gather information from suitably experienced and qualified organisations regarding service capability, delivery models, digitisation options, pricing structures, quality assurance arrangements and turnaround times. The information obtained will help inform internal planning, budget setting and any potential future procurement approach. Interested organisations are invited to review the Specification set out in Appendix 1 of the PME documentation and to complete the Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire contained within Appendix 2. This exercise is being carried out solely as a market sounding and information gathering activity. It is not an invitation to tender, a call for competition, or a request for expressions of interest. Participation in the PME will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in relation to any future procurement process. The Council may use the outcomes of this PME to shape the scope, specification and procurement strategy of any subsequent procurement exercise. In accordance with sections 16 and 17 of the Procurement Act 2023, the Council reserves the right, subject to internal governance and where legally justified, to consider appropriate procurement routes should the market be extremely limited. All communication in relation to this PME must take place via the messaging facility on the Council’s procurement portal. Please see separate document on the portal The Council is using the e-procurement portal known as the Proactis Pro-Contract portal https://procontract.due-north.com to conduct this procurement exercise. To gain access to the procurement documents, bidders will need to register their company details at the above website. Once registered, bidders will be emailed a log-in and password, allowing them to gain access to the procurement documents. Bidders will need to search for the invitation under Worcester City Council and then electronically submit an expression of interest and follow the online instructions to view the procurement documents.

Our objective is to establish a Value Added Reseller Framework that simplifies how we source and manage software, while improving outcomes across cost, risk, transparency and capability. At a high level, we are seeking to: • Aggregate software spend where appropriate to improve pricing and commercial leverage, ultimately creating savings in this area. • Reduce duplication and administrative burden associated with repeated procurements • Introduce greater cost transparency through open book and cost plus models • Access meaningful value added services such as Software Asset Management (SAM), optimisation and audit support • Enable more proactive planning, renewal management and vendor negotiation • Retain flexibility to buy outside the framework where this represents better value or lower risk Our emerging proposal is to put in place a single supplier value added reseller framework to act as a strategic aggregation and enablement layer between us and the wider software vendor market. Key features of the proposed model include: • Cost plus, pass through pricing for software licences • Pre agreed framework terms and conditions • Structured and transparent discount mechanisms • Support for both large strategic vendors (e.g. hyperscalers) and niche software providers • Non exclusive framework design The scope under consideration includes, but is not limited to: • Commercial off the shelf software licensing • Software maintenance and renewal management • Licence compliance and audit support • Software Asset Management (SAM) and optimisation • Pre and post sales technical and commercial advice • Price benchmarking and competitive price comparisons • Management of vendor relationships and deal registration • Asset recording and licence position reporting • Hardware and related services The appointed supplier would support the supply of software and associated value added activities as the sole supplier on a single supplier framework. The purpose of this engagement is to explore viable commissioning options and assess market interest in delivering key services. The insights gained will help the FOS shape any future procurement strategy. This is preliminary market engagement only, not a call for competition and not scored. FOS is seeking input from organisations with expertise in the software sector to understand market capability and procurement considerations. We are seeking insight and feedback from potential VAR providers on our initial approach, particularly around the delivery of a cost‑plus passthrough model for software procurement and the range of value‑added services that may accompany it. This activity is intended to explore market capability and gather insight only. It focuses on understanding the VAR market’s ability to support our requirements and does not involve supplier selection, down‑selection, or any form of bid evaluation.

We would like to take the opportunity to test the market as outlined below, to determine current interest levels in the market for a Technology Enabled Care Service. The proposed service will need to provide the following: a) Install, maintain, storage and recycling of technology enabled care equipment. - Nearly all equipment is now digital, with only a handful of analogue devices still used in the community. It is expected that at the time of procuring a new contract all devices will be digital. In 2025/6 there was an average 15 new service users each month. The Council has a target of 2 working days for urgent installations and routine within 15 working days. Whilst the majority of equipment is more traditional telecare items, the Council also uses equipment to monitor daily living activities (DAL). DAL equipment typically uses sensors to monitor activity levels in the home. b) Call monitoring service - The current externally commissioned contract provides 24 hour a day / 365 days a year call monitoring service a with approximately 4,000 inbound calls and 2,000 outbound calls a month. c) Purchase equipment - The Council currently purchases technology enabled care equipment directly from suppliers and this is delivered to the providers equipment store. The provider stores the equipment and is responsible for inventory management, including advising the Council of when it needs to buy more TEC equipment and what equipment is required and delivers best for the Council. The Council intends to move the responsibility for ordering equipment to the provider when a new contract is procured. d) Information, Advice and Guidance - the current contract also provides a certain number of advice and information sessions for members of public and council staff.

The Guinness Partnership (TGP) is currently reviewing their systems architecture for repairs and empty homes, exploring the art of the possible, with either one system or multiple systems. A preliminary market engagement will be conducted initially to inform the procurement approach and potential tender documentation. The procurement approach is currently undecided and the route to market is therefore subject to change. The key focus is understanding how TGP can leverage technology to achieve its target state vision and outcomes for the repairs service, specifically focused on: • Delivering a good, reliable, and safe repairs service that residents can trust • Early, proactive intervention • Accurate diagnosis and recording of repairs at first contact • Repairs delivered on time and in line with statutory and policy timescales • Reduced resident frustration and failure demand • Lower resident effort in accessing the service • Reduced cost of failure • Lower overall cost of the repairs service without compromising quality • Greater operational resilience • Clear and credible assurance that resident outcomes are being achieved Suppliers participating in this PME event will not have any advantage over organisations who do not participate, and this market consultation is in no way a guarantee of future work.
