The Council manages a varied property estate supporting public services, operational delivery, commercial activity and community use. Approximately 118 properties are expected to be included within the scope of the contract, subject to final confirmation of the property list, service requirements and procurement strategy. The Council is seeking to understand market interest, capacity, delivery models and supplier feedback before finalising its procurement strategy, service specification, commercial approach and timetable. This notice is intended to encourage early interest from suitably experienced providers and to support an open, fair and proportionate future procurement process. The anticipated scope may include, but is not limited to, planned preventative maintenance, statutory compliance, mechanical and electrical services, building fabric maintenance, reactive repairs, emergency call-outs, specialist servicing, asset data management, lifecycle advice, compliance reporting, minor works and works projects. The Contract may include provision for the delivery of minor works and project works up to an agreed value threshold, where these fall within the scope of the Hard FM Services. Any such works would be instructed in accordance with the MSDC Procurement Code, financial regulation and the Council's governance requirements. The Council would retain the right to test the market, seek alternative quotations, or otherwise satisfy itself that value for money is beng achieved. The appointed supplier will be expected to use the Council's CAFM system as required for receiving and managing work orders, updating asset and compliance records, reporting progress, and supporting effective contract management. The Council's estate may include, office, operational, commercial, public-facing and community buildings including temporary residential accommodation. The final property list, service scope, contract value, procurement route, lotting structure and contract duration have not yet been confirmed and may be refined following this engagement. The Council is currently proposing a contract term of four years, with the option to extend by up to two further periods of one year each, subject to performance, ongoing need and the Council's governance requirements. The anticipated contract commencement date is Summer 2027, subject to completion of procurement, award, governance approvals and mobilisation arrangements. The Council currently anticipates that the contract will be based on the NEC4 form of contract and will include requirements relating to social value, local supply chain opportunities, sustainability and wider community benefit. The detailed contractual model, performance mechanisms and social value requirements will be developed as part of the procurement preparation process and may be informed by supplier feedback received through this engagement. This preliminary market engagement exercise is not a procurement competition and does not commit the Council to commencing any procurement, awarding any contract, or accepting any proposal. The Council reserves the right to amend the scope, timetable, procedure, contract structure or any other aspect of any future opportunity following this engagement. Failure to respond to this notice will not affect your ability to participate in any future procurement exercise. The Council will take appropriate steps to ensure that any preliminary market engagement is conducted transparently and does not distort competition or provide any supplier with an unfair advantage.
As part of the FSA’s commitment to ensure food is safe and is what it says it is, the FSA undertakes food safety risk assessments which underpin these decisions in line with the internationally recognised ‘Codex Working Principles for Risk Analysis for Food Safety’. A key component of food safety risk assessment is exposure assessment, which estimates the amount of a hazard consumed through the diet. Exposure assessment combines food consumption data with information on the concentrations of substances such as contaminants, food additives or pesticide residues in food to estimate the levels consumers may be exposed to. To conduct UK dietary exposure assessments, the FSA uses consumption data in combination with occurrence data for hazards and other substances in food. UK consumption data is primarily obtained from the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS). The National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) is a co-funded programme between the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and FSA. NDNS is a rolling programme which assesses the diet, nutrient intake and nutritional status of the general population of the UK. Tenders are invited to carry out the recoding of NDNS consumption data to FoodEx2, a standardised system for classifying and describing food.
The Sir John Brunner Foundation Multi-Academy Trust (Cheshire) is undertaking pre-market engagement in relation to a proposed procurement for the management of community lettings and facilities hire across part of its estate. The initial scope is expected to include Middlewich High School and Sir John Deane's Sixth Form College, with the possibility of future extension to other Trust sites, subject to suitability, value for money and operational requirements. The Trust's wider estate includes The County High School, Leftwich and (from November) primary academies in the Northwich area. The Trust is seeking to understand the market for managed lettings services and to inform the development of its final specification, procurement route and commercial model. The proposed requirement is expected to involve the management, marketing, booking, administration and operational delivery of lettings and community use of school and college facilities outside core educational hours. The Trust's objectives are to: increase utilisation of facilities outside normal school and college hours; improve and expand access for local clubs, voluntary organisations and community groups; support sustainable community use, particularly for local and regular users; ensure safeguarding, site security, supervision and operational control during lettings activity; reduce the administrative and operational burden on academy staff; protect the condition, readiness and availability of facilities for core educational use; increase income through improved utilisation and broader use of facilities, rather than relying solely on price increases; and establish a professional, compliant and scalable lettings model capable of operating across multiple academy sites where appropriate. The facilities potentially within scope include, but are not limited to, indoor sports halls, outdoor pitches, all-weather/3G or astro facilities, playing fields, performance and assembly spaces, classrooms, specialist teaching areas, changing rooms, car parking and ancillary facilities. The final list of facilities will be confirmed following engagement with the market. The Trust is particularly interested in engaging with providers able to deliver one or more of the following models: a fully managed lettings service, including marketing, bookings, customer management, income collection, staffing, supervision, safeguarding, compliance and reporting; a managed bookings and staffing model, including provider-led marketing, customer management and revenue administration, with operational delivery agreed between the provider and the Trust; and/or advice on appropriate commercial structures, including revenue share, guaranteed income, management fee or hybrid models. At this stage, the Trust does not intend to pursue a software-only booking platform as the primary solution, as the requirement includes a need for operational delivery, staffing and site supervision, particularly at Middlewich High School. However, the Trust welcomes feedback on systems and technology used to support managed lettings services. The Trust anticipates that any future contract would require the successful provider to demonstrate robust arrangements for: on-site staffing and supervision; safeguarding, site security and incident escalation; access control, opening, closing and site handover; cleaning, facility reset and reporting of damage or defects; customer service and complaints management; protection and transition of existing community users where possible; pricing strategy and affordability for local community users; financial reporting, reconciliation, VAT information and income remittance; performance reporting and attendance at formal contract review meetings; and orderly exit and transfer of booking/customer data at the end of the arrangement. The Trust is considering a phased implementation approach, with Sir John Deane's Sixth Form College and non-pitch lettings at Middlewich High School potentially comm…

Organisations are invited to take part in the pre maket engagement seek input from market participants to inform and help Ofcom inform our procurement strategy for our employee voice programme. Ofcom currently relies on an annual colleague survey as the primary means of gathering measurable feedback on employee experience. This model does not provide sufficiently timely or agile insight into emerging colleague experience, culture, engagement and organisational challenges. As a result, there is a risk that feedback is gathered too infrequently to support timely action and evidence-based decision making. The opportunity is to explore how to procure a pulse survey tool that enables shorter, more frequent colleague surveys, as well as the ability to run multiple surveys in parallel across different populations and topics. This would support a more agile employee listening model, provide quicker insight into priority issues, and strengthen the link between colleague feedback and visible action.

** This is not a live opportunity/ call for competition ** This Notice is published to clarify the procedural position in relation to the procurement referenced above. A UK12 notice was issued in error during this procurement - identifier 2026/S 000-027896, published 26 March 2026. Prior to this, a UK 4 was issued identifier - ocds-h6vhtk-0659c5 on the 23rd February 2026. No contract award was made, and the issue of the UK12 does not affect the underlying procurement process, which has otherwise been conducted lawfully and in accordance with the published documents. As a result of the UK12 being issued in error, the Contracting Authority is unable to proceed using the original notice sequence as the notices cannot be linked, or amended. A reduced tendering period has therefore been selected under this notice as this is not a live opportunity. This Notice is therefore published to correct the position and to ensure transparency to the market. Following publication of this Notice, the Contracting Authority intends to proceed with the publication of a UK 6 notice, to the successful supplier, following a compliant evaluation. ** This is not a live opportunity/ call for competition **
