Transport for London (TfL) is undertaking a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to gauge interest in the marketplace for suppliers to participate in a tender for the provision of Speed Awareness Courses. TfL works together in long standing partnerships with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to jointly operate and administer speed enforcement in London. This shared responsibility includes the management of red light and speed camera offences on the network. This activity contributes significantly to the Mayor's targets for casualty reduction and the objective to eliminate death and serious injury on London's roads by 2041. The camera network also contributes significantly to traffic management, keeping traffic moving in a safe, compliant and efficient manner. It is well documented that speed or inappropriate speed contributes to a significant percentage of all collisions and a higher percentage of more serious collisions. The National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) has been developed to offer drivers the opportunity to benefit from improving their driving attitudes and skills following a police intervention. Eligible drivers are offered the opportunity to complete a course as a voluntary alternative to their offence being dealt with through the Criminal Justice System. NDORS has been established by the police service in collaboration with the National Association of Driver Intervention Providers (NADIP). The police service has formed the Road Safety Trust (RST), a charity, to provide the business support to the scheme through UK Road Offender Education (UKROEd). All NDORS courses and associated material are registered with the Intellectual Property Office and protected in law, in order to ensure the quality is at a sustainable high standard and courses are consistent allowing the offender to attend anywhere in the UK and receive the same education. The course provider and individual instructors and trainers must operate under a licence issued by UKROEd.

Participation will not provide funding, an assurance of future work or preferential treatment in any subsequent procurement. The appointed supplier will be expected to: - identify and recruit suitable public-sector Challenge Council members; - build a broad pipeline of potential Programme Innovators and select suitable innovators against defined challenges; - support challenge development and match innovators to challenges; - establish, facilitate and oversee at least five design partnerships; - provide programme governance and a light-touch commercial, procurement, data protection and security compliance wrapper; - support routes to adoption or other lawful commercial progression; - organise one Showcase Day and other programme activity; - report on progress and produce a final report; and - create and disseminate a pattern library of repeatable approaches to support public-sector adoption of cyber innovation.
This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) notice that this provider selection process has been abandoned and a contract has not been awarded. This process has been abandoned under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply The contract for Lot 1: Norfolk prisons consisting of HMP Bure, HMP Wayland and HMP Norwich has not been awarded. The reasons for abandonment are as follows: The Commissioner has made the decision to abandon the procurement process and not award a contract for the Services having taken and considered confidential and privileged legal advice. The confidentiality and privilege in that advice is maintained and will not be waived by the Commissioner. Since the procurement was first launched, there have also been significant and material changes in the commissioning and prison landscape. Abandoning this procurement will enable the Commissioner to revise its requirements, thereby futureproofing the service. Abandoning this procurement also has the benefit of ensuring that changes in the Sentencing Act and the wider commissioning landscape (including transfer of statutory responsibility from the Commissioner to ICBs) are able to inform any further procurement in a manner that meets the evolving needs of the population

Independent Visitors provide Children We Care For (Children Looked After) with access to an independent, trained volunteer who develops a consistent, long-term and trusted relationship with them. Independent Visitors offer support, guidance and positive experiences outside of the child’s care arrangements, helping to promote confidence, resilience, wellbeing and a sense of belonging. The initial contract term will be for 36 months with an option to extend for a further 24 months in 12-month increments (2 periods of 12 months) for a potential total contract term of 5 years as stated in the ITT documents. Estimated contract spend is £359,100 across the initial 3-year contract term and £598,500 across the potential total 5-year contract term.
