Renfrewshire Council has an existing Flexible Framework ("framework") for the provision of Care at Home and Housing Support Services under the direction of Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (RHSCP). The framework allows RHSCP to purchase services to support (predominantly older) people to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible with the care and support they need being tailored to them, provided in a tailored and responsive manner. There may also be the occasional requirement for a Renfrewshire Council Children’s Services to arrange support services for a child. The Service is delivered 24 hours per day, 52 weeks per year including public holidays. The size of each individual package of care varies and is dependent on the individual’s assessed needs and outcomes. As the services provided by this framework fall within the ‘Social and Other Specific Services’ category, and it is subject to the procurement regimes set out in section 7, Social and Other Specific Services, both of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a flexible approach was designed which allows “new entrants” to apply to be on the framework throughout the duration, as and when determined by RHSCP. RHSCP now wish to reopen the framework to new entrants, to ensure capacity to deliver services across Renfrewshire. The process followed will be the same process used to appoint the original providers. Any tenderer bidding for appointment to the framework will be required to satisfy the same minimum criteria as those awarded a place under the original tender process. INTERESTED PARTIES MUST READ THE Invitation to Tender document FOR FULL DETAILS OF THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS FRAMEWORK. - Technical and Professional Ability (2 examples of previous experience of delivering similar services. These MUST be within the last 3 years and demonstrate relevant experience and capacity); - Care Inspectorate Requirements (Registered to deliver a Combined Support Service - Care at Home and a Housing Support Service (or ongoing application for Combined Service); - Care Inspectorate minimum Quality Grade of 3 for all key questions; - SSSC Registration and PVG Checks; - Insurance Requirements; - Financial Standing Requirements; - Health and Safety Requirements; - Cyber Security Requirements. TENDERERS MUST MEET THE MINIMUM CRITERIA, OTHERWISE THEIR SUBMISSION WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM EVALUATION AND THEY WILL NOT BE APPOINTED TO THE FLEXIBLE FRAMEWORK. Any Tenderer who does not meet the minimum requirements will not be eligible for appointment to the Flexible Framework but may participate in any future reopening of the Flexible Framework when these requirements have been met.

The Council has elected to reserve this competition to suppliers that are based within the administrative area of Norfolk.

Background Woodley Town Council is committed to supporting positive outcomes and opportunities for children and young people living in Woodley. Although the provision of youth services is not a statutory responsibility of the Town Council, the Council has a longstanding commitment to investing in services and activities that benefit local young people. The Council's Strategy for Youth Services 2025-2030 provides the framework for how the Council will support youth provision during the strategy period. The Strategy has been developed following research and consultation with young people and relevant stakeholders and is intended to ensure that the Council's resources are used to support provision which is accessible, relevant and responsive to the needs of young people in Woodley. The Council is now seeking quotations from suitably experienced organisations and individuals to deliver youth services and/or activities during the forthcoming financial year (1 April 2027 - 31 March 2028), in support of the aims and priorities set out in the Youth Strategy. The opportunity Woodley Town Council is inviting quotations from suitably experienced and appropriately qualified youth service providers, voluntary and community organisations, social enterprises and other organisations with relevant experience to propose the delivery of youth services and activities within Woodley. The Council is deliberately adopting a flexible approach to the scope of this opportunity. It is not necessarily seeking a single provider to deliver all elements of youth provision. The Council may appoint one provider or a number of providers whose individual services and activities, taken together, contribute to the achievement of the Council's Youth Strategy objectives. Proposals may therefore focus on a particular group of young people, a particular youth work approach, or a specific activity or programme. For details of the current provision make up, please see the Council's Youth Service webpage. What the Council is looking for The Council is particularly interested in proposals which: engage children and young people broadly within the 9-21 age range; provide positive, safe and inclusive opportunities for young people; engage young people who may be vulnerable or at risk of becoming vulnerable; reach young people who are not currently engaging with existing youth provision; support young people's personal development, confidence, skills, wellbeing and connection with their community; provide opportunities for young people to participate in activities which are interesting, relevant and accessible to them; demonstrate an understanding of the local context and the needs of young people in Woodley; and where appropriate, complement rather than duplicate existing provision and work collaboratively with relevant local organisations and partners. The Council is particularly interested in provision taking place during school holidays and on Friday evenings, although proposals for other weekday evenings, weekends or particular dates/events will also be considered where they demonstrate a clear benefit to young people. Types of provision The Council is open to a broad range of proposals. Examples could include, but are not limited to: regular activity-led youth sessions; sports and physical activity; arts, music, creative or cultural activities; workshops, courses or training; personal development, employability or life-skills activities; mentoring or targeted support; leadership and volunteering opportunities; competitions and challenges; structured trips or one-off activities; targeted provision for particular groups or demographics; and other innovative approaches which support the aims of the Youth Strategy. Providers are encouraged to put forward proposals which they consider will have a meaningful and measurable benefit for young people rather than seeking to fit their service into a prescribed model. Location and accessibility The Council's priority is to fund p…

The contract for the Infection and Sepsis Audit - Acute care settings (NISA-Acute) will initially be delivered for NHS-funded care in England and Wales for a period of three years, at a maximum total budget of up to £ 1,146,300.00 excl VAT and £1,375,560.00 with VAT. Bids exceeding these limits will be rejected. All pricing submissions must be in regard to this 'core' value, and not inclusive of any extension costs or aspirational intent costs, i.e. Please only submit a cost schedule up to the maximum core value of £ 1,146,300.00 excl VAT and £1,375,560.00 with VAT. The maximum budget ‘core’ value excludes the potential two year extension and aspirational intent as described in section 14.3 of Annex A - Service Specification. Please note, there is no commitment by the Authority at this stage to include any of the below aspirational intent. Taking this aspirational intent into account, including the possibility that a contract extension may be offered for an additional 24 months, the potential ceiling value is £8,988,606.00 GBP including VAT. This is a new national clinical audit for severe infection and sepsis in acute NHS hospital settings. The aim is to provide benchmarked infection and sepsis care data to identify variation and drive improvement over time. Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. While it is an unusual complication of developing an infection, it can be triggered by any infection. When people die from an infection, it is most commonly due to sepsis. Sepsis is complex and hard to diagnose, with no single test and symptoms that overlap with other conditions (NHS England Modern Service Framework, 2026) Severe infections may lead to the development of sepsis, particularly in at-risk groups, and are one of the most common reasons for emergency admission to hospital. Both infection and sepsis are major causes of morbidity and mortality in the UK, and costly to the NHS and wider economy: In 2025 there were over 23,000 deaths involving sepsis (Office for National Statistics). Patients and carers who we engaged with as part of specification development told us of long-term impacts that some sepsis survivors experience, from reduced mobility and cognitive difficulties, to loss of limbs or vision impairments. Each year, the NHS in England spends over £1billion on sepsis care, and over £6.5billion on infection care. Wider economic costs are estimated at £10-15billion annually (York Health Economics Consortium, 2017). 1,300 clinical negligence claims were made regarding sepsis from 2020/21 to 2024/25, costing £65.3m in litigation. Most claims relate to delays and failures in treatment and diagnosis. Several major healthcare initiatives have been launched to help improve care related to sepsis and severe infection, including: NHS England’s sepsis Modern Service Framework (MSF), which aims to reduce death, life-threatening complications and long-term impact from sepsis and severe infection by at least 25% by 2035, as well as reducing health inequalities (published July 2026). NHS England’s National Improvement Programme for ‘Optimising the acute management of sepsis’ (as part of the MSF activities). The National Patient Safety Plan for NHS Wales 2026-2031, which includes sepsis care. The UK Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) National Action Plan, which pledges to strengthen infection prevention and control (IPC) and antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in health and social care settings New NICE guidelines for recognition, diagnosis and early management of suspected sepsis, published in November 2025 (NG253-NG255) Establishing the NISA-Acute audit is a key ambition of the NHS England sepsis MSF, and the audit will be expected to align closely with all the initiatives listed above. The audit funders have selected ‘early stages of care’ as the initial priority for this audit because this is a critical point for effective severe infection management and the swift identification…
