The purpose of this exercise is to support the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) to identify and select an appropriate procurement route for appointing an 'Independent Competent Person' as defined in the Railways and Other Guided Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 in relation to the Mass Transit (Supertram) Renewal Project. SYMCA is keen to understand market capability, preferred contractual routes, and an anticipated cost for the services required. This exercise consists of a short market engagement questionnaire for completion and return. SYMCA is the owner of the South Yorkshire Supertram system, a 29km light rail network running predominately within the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England, UK. The network includes two fleets of trams (32 vehicles in total), 29km of tracks, 12 substations, one depot, 29km of overhead line electrification, numerous civil engineering assets including bridges, an underpass, earthworks and drainage, and signalling and communications assets. The network originally opened in 1994 and was extended in 2018 into the neighbouring town of Rotherham using innovative tram train technology. The network was previously operated by South Yorkshire Supertram Limited between 1994-2024 which was a subsidiary of national transport operator Stagecoach Group. When this contract ended, SYMCA appointed South Yorkshire Future Trams Limited (SYFTL) to operate the system and undertake day to day maintenance. SYFTL, which is a subsidiary company of SYMCA, is contracted via an Operating Agreement, which allows SYMCA to act as the commissioner (specifying the service levels, maintenance and cleaning standards etc.) with SYFTL responsible for the delivery. Under the Operating Agreement, SYMCA is generally responsible for the funding and delivery of renewals and investment into the system. The Railways and Other Guided Systems (Safety) Regulations (ROGS) place obligations on both SYFTL and SYMCA in relation to managing the network's safety. SYFTL is a Transport Undertaking as the entity which runs trams on the network. SYMCA is the Infrastructure Manager through its role in strategic management of the assets which form the tramway and its role in delivering renewals, however certain activities are undertaken by SYFTL under delegation. Therefore both SYFTL and SYMCA meet the definition of a 'Transport Operator' under ROGS. 1ROGS places certain obligations on Transport Operators where new or modified infrastructure and vehicles are introduced, including the requirement to undertake formal Safety Verification where a Duty Holder's Safety Management System identifies this requirement. As part of this process, Duty Holders must appoint an Independent Competent Person to support this process. SYMCA is currently embarking on a significant project to renew many assets forming the network and needs to appoint the services of an Independent Competent Person as described by ROGS.

Invitation RFQ Description: Fairhive Homes Limited is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to provide, implement, configure, support, maintain and continuously improve a Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS will support Fairhive's requirements for effective learning management, compliance training, reporting, user administration and integration with Fairhive's wider systems environment. The scope is expected to include: • Hosted Learning Management System platform. • Configuration of workflows, roles, permissions, learning pathways, dashboards, notifications and branding. • Implementation support including mobilisation, discovery, testing, user acceptance testing, go-live support and hypercare. • Data migration including mapping, cleansing, reconciliation and validation. • Microsoft Entra ID Single Sign-On and user provisioning. • Microsoft 365 integrations including Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendar integration. • Administrator, manager and end-user training. • SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 content support. • Hosting, backups, disaster recovery, maintenance and support. • Reporting, dashboards and scheduled reporting. • Continuous improvement and account management. • Estimated Contract Value: £36,000 to £50,000 per annum. • Estimated Maximum Contract Value: £108,000 to £150,000 including VAT. • Procurement Above or Below Threshold: Below Threshold. • Main Procurement Category: Services • Contract Commencement: TBC - Fairhive to confirm. Initial Term: 2 Years. Extension Options: 1 Optional Year. Potential Contract Expiry: TBC, dependent upon contract commencement date. NB - This procurement is being undertaken as a below-threshold Request for Quotation (RFQ) under the Procurement Act 2023. As the estimated contract value is below the applicable procurement threshold, it is not subject to the full regulated procurement procedures that apply to above-threshold procurements. The Act requires a proportionate approach to below-threshold procurement and provides contracting authorities with greater flexibility in determining an appropriate route to market. In accordance with this approach, the RFQ will be conducted on an invitation-only basis, with quotations being sought from a selected number of suppliers assessed as capable of delivering the requirement. This enables meaningful competition whilst maintaining a proportionate process aligned to the value, complexity and risk profile of the contract. Similar approaches are reflected within procurement guidance and procurement policies developed in response to the Procurement Act 2023. For completeness, the Procurement Act 2023 does not require contracting authorities to run an open tender process for below-threshold procurements. In particular: • Part 6 of the Act establishes a separate regime for below-threshold contracts, recognising that fewer obligations apply than for covered procurements. • Section 85 sets out requirements where a contracting authority chooses to invite tenders for a regulated below-threshold contract but does not mandate that the opportunity must be advertised openly to all suppliers. • The Act allows contracting authorities to take a proportionate approach to supplier selection and competition for below-threshold opportunities, provided that transparency requirements applicable to the procurement are met.

The analysis of feedback obtained from this exercise will allow NWSSP to further develop its strategy and refine its service delivery requirements ahead of any potential procurement. The main objectives of this exercise are to: - Assess the level of interest in the marketplace from suppliers who can support the Oracle eBusiness Suite (EBS), - Test market capability and capacity, - Validate the proposed scope and service model, - Understand delivery approaches, innovations and commercial models and indicative rates, and - Explore development and innovation in relation to AI and the benefits that may be realised with its deployment through the Oracle eBusiness Suite. The provision of the Oracle EBS is facilitated through existing perpetual licences, and the scope of this engagement exercise does not include migrating the e-Business Application System to a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. This exercise is not a formal procurement process, does not constitute a call for competition and does not commit NHS Wales to any future procurement. However, information gathered through this engagement will help inform the development, scope and future direction of the project. Suppliers can express their interest in this process and request a copy of the Market Engagement Briefing Document, which contains further details on the requirement and engagement process, by contacting Chris Squires ([email protected]). When submitting an expression of interest, suppliers are requested to confirm that they acknowledge and understand that: - the proposed managed service requirement relates specifically to Oracle E-Business Suite (Oracle EBS) and does not include support for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions; - they have the necessary supply chain capabilities to support the requirements of the service; and - they possess the capability and expertise to support the development of warehouse management systems within discrete manufacturing environments. Suppliers will have the opportunity to participate in a structured engagement session which are scheduled for the 5th, 8th and 14th October. There are 10 sessions available and these will be allocated on a first come first served basis. However, NWSSP reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to make additional sessions available should there be sufficient interest from the market. No guarantee is given that additional sessions will be offered.
