Hywel Dda University Health Board’s (HDUHB) Tywi Taf Cluster (2Ts) is seeking to commission a preventative health and wellbeing pilot designed to improve the emotional, physical and social wellbeing of young people across Carmarthen. This pilot has been developed in response to growing evidence of poorer emotional wellbeing, confidence and health literacy among adolescent girls, young women, and gender-diverse individuals requiring services related to women's health, including those who identify as female, transgender, non-binary, or gender diverse alongside increasing concerns about body image, social media influences, anxiety, self-esteem and healthy relationships. Informed by emerging evidence, it recognises the significant pressures many adolescent girls, young women and gender-diverse young people experience in defining their self-worth and identity through appearance and peer acceptance. These pressures can be further amplified by digital media and evolving social expectations, contributing to declining wellbeing, confidence and mental health among young people. The pilot will provide safe, welcoming and inclusive environments where young people can develop confidence, build positive relationships, improve health knowledge and access support or signposting where required. Whilst the primary focus of the pilot is adolescent girls, young women and gender-diverse individuals requiring services related to women's health, including those who identify as female, transgender, non-binary or gender diverse, the pilot will also include planned engagement opportunities for boys and young men. These activities will promote healthy relationships, mutual respect, emotional literacy, equality, consent and positive health behaviours, recognising the important role that all young people play in creating supportive and respectful communities. The pilot supports the principles of prevention, early intervention, prudent healthcare, co-production and reducing health inequalities. It also contributes to the wider aims of improving population health outcomes, strengthening community resilience and enabling young people to make informed choices about their health and wellbeing.

The Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) provides residents experiencing financial hardship with essential furniture and white goods through the Crisis Payment Service. The service requires a supplier that can source, store and deliver a range of household items directly to eligible residents across Leicestershire at competitive wholesale prices. The CRF is funded through ringfenced Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) funding rather than Council resources. DWP guidance requires local welfare provision to include support for people facing immediate financial crisis and those needing assistance to establish or maintain a home. As a result, the provision of essential furniture and white goods forms a core component of the CRF and the Council must maintain arrangements for the delivery of this support. Direct provision of goods ensures that residents receive the items they need to maintain a safe and functional home environment, whilst providing greater assurance that public funds are used for their intended purpose. This approach reduces the risk of fraud and misuse compared with cash-based awards and supports effective contract management through clear audit trails. Leicestershire County Council is exploring options for the provision, delivery and, where appropriate, installation of essential furniture and white goods for eligible residents experiencing financial crisis.
This contract has been awarded to Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust under Direct Award Process A of the Provider Selection Regime. The specialist urogynaecology physiotherapy service forms an integrated element of the wider Primary Care Continence Service delivered to the Cheshire West population and is clinically interdependent with the existing continence pathway operating across the West Cheshire Health Collaborative. The service requires direct integration with the established multidisciplinary continence team, shared clinical pathways, referral and triage arrangements, clinical governance processes and collaborative working arrangements that are already in place between the Provider and Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. The service is not a standalone physiotherapy service that can be separated from the wider continence pathway without creating fragmentation of care, duplication of processes and disruption to patient management. Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is the only provider currently embedded within, and able to deliver the specialist physiotherapy component as part of, the existing integrated continence model across the West Cheshire Health Collaborative. Continuation of the existing arrangement ensures safe and effective patient care, maintains pathway integration and avoids disruption to patients accessing specialist continence services. The service relies upon established clinical relationships, referral pathways, governance arrangements and multidisciplinary working practices that have been developed as part of the West Cheshire Health Collaborative model and cannot reasonably be replicated by an alternative provider without fundamental redesign of the service pathway.

There remains an ongoing requirement to provide In-Service Support for Joint Service Aircrew Headsets, MK10 helmet communications equipment and associated spares, together with the UKStratCom Tactical Systems Close Combat Communication Hearing Protection System (CC CHPS) used by the Army. This equipment is essential to support operational and training activities and continues to be widely used across Defence.

The Council of the Isles of Scilly is seeking to appoint a suitably experienced and appropriately licensed passenger boat operator to provide a reliable Inter-Island Commuter Passenger Boat Service connecting St Martin's and St Agnes with St Mary's. The service provides an essential lifeline between the islands and is required to support a range of Council-facilitated and concessionary travel requirements, particularly during the winter period when the frequency and availability of normal commercial inter-island services is reduced. The journeys supported through the service principally provide for: • Early Years transport; • Home-to-School Transport; • Children and Young People (C&YP) travel, principally to enable participation in clubs and organised activities; • Adult Social Care travel; • Discretionary Concessionary Fares supported by the Council; and • Employment-related travel, particularly for teachers and school support staff where inter-island transport is necessary to enable attendance at work. The service also provides broader community connectivity, enabling residents to access essential services and facilities on St Mary's. Other passenger journeys outside the Council-supported service requirements may continue to be provided by operators on a commercial basis. The Department for Transport (DfT) has provided short-term emergency funding to support the service during the 2026/27 winter period. This funding is intended to provide an interim solution for this winter only while the Council considers the longer-term requirements for sustainable inter-island connectivity. The Contract(s) will therefore also provide an important opportunity for the Council to gather information on passenger demand, journey patterns, service reliability, operating costs and service utilisation. This evidence will help the Council understand how the revised service is being used and inform consideration of a more permanent and sustainable solution for future years. The principal subsidised Winter Service Period is expected to run from October 2026 to 31 March 2027. From 1 April 2027, the normal commercial summer inter-island timetable is expected to resume, and the wider winter service subsidy will cease. However, the Contract will provide for a limited Academic Year Extension Period from April to July 2027, covering only the services required to support the continuation of Early Years, Home-to-School, and associated education employment travel until the end of the academic year. The journeys and service requirements applicable during this extension period are set out in Schedule 1 - Service Specification. The Council is therefore seeking a proportionate, flexible, reliable and dependable service which recognises the essential lifeline function of inter-island connectivity, the range of Council-supported passenger requirements and the particular commercial challenges associated with maintaining these connections during the winter period. The Contract is intended both to maintain these essential journeys in the short term and to provide the operational evidence required to inform the Council's approach to their longer-term provision.
