**This is not a tender exercise*** The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) would like to invite participation in a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to seek the views of the market for the provision, in the first instance, of a Catering System within Northern Ireland schools, supporting modern, secure and efficient payment methods and managing risks associated with special diets within schools. The purpose of this PME exercise is for EANI to gain an understanding of the latest developments and innovative solutions available for school settings and will be used to assist EANI in gaining a better understanding of the feasibility of the requirements, the most appropriate procurement and operational approach, the capacity of the market to deliver the requirements and an opportunity for the market to highlight any possible risks or issues. This PME exercise also seeks to identify indicative costs to help inform the business case on the commercial aspects for the delivery and implementation of solution(s). For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of any formal procurement process and there is no commitment at this stage to carry out such a process. Any information gathered will not be considered in any future tender exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this PME exercise shall not prevent any supplier from participating in any future procurement process, nor is it intended that any information provided shall place any supplier at an advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement exercise. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from the documents section of the CfT on eTendersNI. Suppliers who wish to participate in the PME exercise must return the completed questionnaire via the messaging function of the CfT on eTendersNI no later than 15:0 on Friday 29th May 2026.

UKSA intends to run a competitive procurement to secure a supplier/consortium to lead on the delivery and operation of the Earth Observation Data Hub (EODH) from April 2027 – March 2030. EODH provides a national gateway and platform for Earth Observation (EO) and model datasets. It enables users to access UK and global commercial and research satellite data, processing workflows, and applications for analysing surface temperature and land-use change. Through a single point of access (https://eodatahub.org.uk), the EO Data Hub integrates commercial and open EO datasets, allowing users to search, visualise, analyse, and process data at scale. The EODH is an operational national capability, currently delivered through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO). The current delivery model will continue until March 2027 and will include a technical handover phase with the new delivery supplier throughout January – March 2027. Whilst final decisions on the exact scope are yet to be made our current primary aim of the competition will be to outsource operational delivery of the EODH to both EO and non-EO users subject to relevent internal approvals. The competition would invite suppliers to demonstrate capability, user reach and a vision to grow the activity. An important aspect will be to maximise the re-use of existing intellectual property and minimise any disruption to current users. The expectations will include further development of the established EODH service – broadening the user base, expanding data availability, and improving overall service functionality. The chosen supplier will also be responsible for managing a seamless transition period and uninterrupted service continuity.

In April 2015 the MOD signed a thirteen year contract with Leidos Europe Ltd to provide the procurement and inventory management of commodity items (as well as the storage and distribution services) historically provided in-house by the Logistic Commodities and Services Operating Centre. Leidos, working with the MOD, will transform the way these services are delivered to ensure requirements continue to be met whilst providing best value for money for the department. The organisation delivering these services is known as Team Leidos. The Requirement is to procure DEXIS IXS sensors which have already been ‘whitelisted’ for use within existing MOD IT infrastructure. Estimated quantities: 687 units The DEXIS IXS sensor has been MOD directed due to compatibility with existing MOD IT systems. Introducing alternatives would require extensive IT re integration resulting in significant additional cost, delay, and delivery risk. LSL is therefore proceeding via a Direct Award in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Under Condition 41, Schedule 5 (Direct Award Justifications), “Changing supplier would create disproportionate technical difficulties, incompatibility risks and Significant delay. “These conditions would apply if an alternative to the DEXIS sensor were introduced. For clarity, the reference to “changing supplier” within the Procurement Act 2023 relates to a change in the OEM, in line with the requirement. Competition will continue to be maintained at the distributor level, with procurement conducted among approved distributors in the market. The purpose of this tender notice is to ensure all interested companies, suppliers, and manufacturers are aware of this opportunity. Suppliers are invited to submit all responses for the proposed tender via the Jaggaer platform. To request the tender documents, please log in to Jaggaer and follow the steps to access the Leidos opportunity where this tender has been published. Should Bidders have any queries regarding the system, please contact the support team on the front page of the Jaggaer website, where it says 'Need assistance?', for help. Any queries regarding the tender itself, as opposed to the system, should be directed through Jaggaer's messaging centre.

This technology is designed to empower individuals to remain independent for longer, receive more proactive and preventative support, and stay connected to their community, family, friends, and professionals. This approach aims to enhance outcomes and promote independence while ensuring resources are targeted where they are most needed, enabling a less intrusive and more dignified model of support. Overall, the service seeks to prevent, reduce, or delay the need for more intensive statutory services by improving wellbeing, identifying risks earlier, and providing a lower cost alternative to traditional care pathways.

The contracting Authority ('Authority') in relation to this notice is the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). The scope of services has been structured into key service areas and outlined below. It is important to note that all services listed are anticipated to be delivered by the successful Supplier, but amendments may be introduced, by the Authority, between this notice and the UK4 Tender Notice. The core services are expected to remain relatively static during the term of any contract created through this procurement and will ostensibly be required to be delivered on the current software platforms, as detailed elsewhere in this notice. However, these services may evolve during the contract term, driven by anticipated police reform. The Authority will present further considerations regarding these changes within the market engagement event. The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), which hosts the National Police Chiefs Councils' (NPCC's) Digital Public Contact (DPC) portfolio, is hosting a Pre-Market Engagement event for its forthcoming Unified Services Procurement (USP). This event will provide a comprehensive overview of the strategic vision, current capabilities, and future development of the DPC platform, Single Online Hub (SOH), enabling suppliers to understand our ambitions and contribute to shaping the future of public contact in policing. The MPS is also seeking to solicit market feedback through the means of a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ), to help inform and shape its approach to this procurement. The DPC platform provides critical national capabilities, serving policing organisations and the public across England and Wales. It enables each force to deliver a range of nationally consistent online services to the public while maintaining their distinct own local identity. Communities are empowered by also having convenient access to information, advice and services that they need. The proposed scope of this procurement encompasses the front-end website, the delivery and operation of the integration hub supporting website services, dashboards and analytics used internally and shared with forces and other stakeholders, and chat services functionality. This procurement aims to deliver as its priority (and under a single supplier), a minimum level of run and maintain service in a more efficient manner for its stakeholders and end users. It also seeks to consolidate and enhance existing delivered services thereby streamlining delivery, modernising key components, and strategically positioning the platform to support significant policing reforms and future service evolution. The DPC programme is guided by the following key strategic imperatives: 1) Policing Reform: Adapting to significant structural changes, including potential force consolidation and the formation of a National Police Service. (For further details, please refer to the 'From local to national: a new model for policing' white paper.) 2) Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence (AI): Embracing AI to enhance public contact through AI-based reporting, AI analysis, conversational AI, and intelligent assistance. 3) Identity and Personalisation: Moving towards authenticated, personalised, and context-aware services, leveraging user accounts (with user authentication via GOV.UK One Login) for tailored experiences. 4) Channel Convergence: Achieving a consistent and unified experience across web, chat, and voice channels for "first contact" with policing. The core service delivery for the USP primarily involves the provision and maintenance of the DPC platform current capabilities, specifically: 1) Website Services: Providing websites for over 40 police forces and organisations, including the national police.uk site (collectively referred to as the Single Online Home - SOH). 2) Public Data Capture: Online crime and incident reporting via forms, integrated with payment and mapping services. 3) Integration Platform (iHub): Facilitating data exchange between public-facing services and force/national systems, using a Standard Data Model. 4) National My Police Portal (NMPP): Enabling authenticated users to track crime reports and communicate with officers. 5) Chat Services & AI-Assisted Engagement: Offering chat services and developing AI-based solutions for natural language reporting, triage, and guidance. 6) Public Data & Neighbourhood Information: Managing and publishing open data about crime and policing (data.police.uk) and local neighbourhood information. 7) Analytics and Dashboards: Providing various dashboards for demand, usage, and performance metrics. 8) Security and Edge Services: Protecting and accelerating services with edge security and traffic management. 9) Shared Services & External Integrations: Utilising services like GOV.UK One Login, Notify, Pay, and mapping services. The existing DPC platform leverages a mix of technologies. Key tooling includes Optimizely Digital Experience Platform (DXP) for website content management, a bespoke React-based forms engine for public data capture, and an AWS integration platform. The National My Police Portal (NMPP) is built on AWS, utilising GOV.UK One Login for authentication and GOV.UK Notify for communications. Chat Services use Cisco Webex Engage or locally provisioned products. For analytics and monitoring, tools like Power BI, Google Analytics 4, Splunk, and Azure Sentinel are in use. Development is supported by Azure DevOps, and Cloudflare provides essential security and edge services. While this landscape reflects our current environment and does not require re-platforming at this time, specific components may necessitate modernisation during the contract term. Beyond the end of the contract that this market engagement is aiming to deliver, it is anticipated that the single supplier delivery model will provide a robust foundation to support the Home Office reform agenda into the National Police Service (NPS) and any future procurement strategies or objectives at that point. Within the forthcoming tender, in addition to the core services outlined above, the Authority intends to present bidders with a list of optional future changes. These changes are expected to be priced separately, allowing the Authority discretion to proceed if or when with them during the contract term. These optional areas may evolve between now and the tender issuance and will be influenced through the market engagement process.

This project is for the procurement for a concession contract for a single supplier to install, maintain and operate 23 EV charge points with built-in digital advertising screens at key destinations across the borough.
