United Utilities require the standardisation of the final effluent monitoring stations as part of UU's Project Blueprint programme. Project Blueprint is UU's strategic standardisation programme, focused on creating and deploying standardised assets, systems and solutions across the business. By adopting an industrialised approach to the design, procurement and delivery of assets, Blueprint aims to reduce engineering and commercial effort, improve delivery efficiency, lower whole-life costs and carbon emissions, and enhance operational consistency. All wastewater treatment works require final effluent monitoring. As part of AMP8 we have a large number of sites picking up numeric and phosphorous consents for the first time. Due to these 'first time' and additional consent projects are also coupled with a need to replace/update existing sites monitoring equipment sample systems are required for wastewater. Scope; To provide packaged final effluent monitoring stations using UU Framework Instruments. Instruments/displays are required to be mounted within a GRP kiosk on a suitable backboard arrangement. Variants include but are not limited to; To cover 'standard' sanitary determinants using turbidity (BOD, COD, Suspended Solids) To cover Ammonia & pH To cover p-removal - phosphorous (P and Fe), with space to add pH as an option

Warwickshire County Council currently commissions external graphic design services through an existing framework arrangement that is due to expire at the end of 2026. As the Council's communications needs have evolved, there is now a requirement for a broader range of creative and content services, including graphic design, video and film production, photography, copywriting, campaign development, and animation. The Council is therefore exploring the establishment of a new Creative and Content Services Framework to support these requirements. Prior to commencing any procurement activity, the Council is undertaking preliminary market engagement to seek feedback from organisations with expertise in these service areas, particularly in relation to the proposed framework structure and lotting arrangements.

This exercise is being conducted solely to gather market intelligence and does not form part of any formal procurement process. Participation in this engagement will not confer any advantage in any future procurement opportunity.

At the NAO, we have a business need to access reliable market and financial information to inform our financial audit and value for money audit work. Around 50 financial audit teams across the office accessed these services in the 2025-26 cycle. This is a business-critical need, used in providing independent evidence to support key assumptions in asset and liability valuations and historical pricing.

We require the provision of a product that provides quick and efficient access to asset and liability prices as well as economic and market data. The minimum requirements for this service are as follows: • A software product capable of meeting International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 500 requirements that provides quick and efficient access to asset and liability prices, such as bonds, equities and fund investments in both a real-time and historic basis, and the ability to price derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps. • The software must also provide economic and market data such as current and past FX rates, access to financial indexes, basic company financial and performance metrics, sovereign and corporate credit ratings, macroeconomic data and forecasts (such as GDP). • We require flexibility to retrieve data for a variety of dates and timepoints and in different formats for larger vs smaller volume requirements. The volume of data we require varies from day to day and the software should be able to accommodate changes in the volume of requests without compromising service or performance, as well as high-volume requests. • Unlimited access to a dedicated helpdesk to help resolve routine queries over functionality and performance, as well as more complex aspects of the software. In addition, access to an account manager is required, who can efficiently resolve any issues with the software. • Regular training, as well as the opportunity to occasionally engage in 'deep dives' i.e. more detailed questions surrounding methodology (such as valuations for particular financial instruments or datasets). Both of these benefits are required at no extra cost above the core subscription. • The software itself must be available for use year-round and for 24hrs a day. Any supplier IT/service outages must be resolved promptly and as a priority. • Ability to retain retrieved data on our audit files in accordance with statutory requirements is essential. The provider must permit the unrestricted retention and storage of market data and supporting evidence on NAO audit files, ensuring compliance with audit methodology and quality requirements.

North Yorkshire Council are considering creating a framework for Grant Administration Services to support the effective delivery of grant programmes where appropriate, across a wide range of themes. The Council may receive grant funding that is required to be awarded within a set timeframe. This funding, often from government sources, usually needs to be allocated and spent quickly. It is important to set up schemes promptly while ensuring proper governance is in place. The Council is therefore considering a framework to enable them to appoint providers to administer, distribute and manage grant schemes on their behalf. Over the last two years, the Council has paid third parties approximately £250,000 to allocate 4 grant schemes. This information is provided for indicative purposes only in the context of this RFI. The amount of grant funding awarded to North Yorkshire Council varies on a year by year basis and there will be no guarantee of workload, volume, or spend under this Framework. The Framework would cover the whole grant lifecycle, ensuring funds are distributed efficiently, compliantly, transparently, and in line with programme objectives, relevant legislation, and funder requirements. Each call off would specify the exact elements required.
The Authority has a need for assurance vetting of Ocean Tankers under contract to the Authority, either directly, or obtained by fuel Suppliers for delivery to the Authority’s sites under the Authority’s fuel supply contracts.
