Plymouth City Council would like to invite providers to an initial market engagement session to help shape the future 16+ Supported Accommodation Framework and block. It is proposed to commission a five-year framework contract, with the option to extend for a further three years, for 16+ supported accommodation. The framework will be structured into three distinct Lots: •Lot 1: Block-purchased provision within Plymouth. This will consist of properties commissioned in their entirety, rather than individual placements. This approach enables greater control over quality, cost, and safeguarding arrangements. •Lot 2: Spot-purchased provision within Plymouth and within a 20-mile radius. •Lot 3: Spot-purchased provision outside of a 20-mile radius. This session will provide an opportunity to discuss our early thinking, hear your views on the proposed service model, and gather feedback that will help inform the development of the framework and block prior to procurement. We would also like to use this opportunity to understand the market's appetite and capacity to deliver accommodation and support for young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and how this could be reflected within the future lot design. Ahead of the session, we will share a first draft of the service specification to allow providers time to review the proposals and identify any areas for discussion. We welcome constructive feedback and look forward to working collaboratively with the market to develop a framework and block that delivers high-quality, sustainable services for Plymouth's young people. Where: Crownhill Court, Tailyour Road, Crownhill, Plymouth, PL6 5DH Date: Tuesday 20th October Time: 10.00 - 13:00 How to book a place: please email [email protected] with the subject field of 16+ Supported Accommodation Market Event. Places will be restricted to 2 per organisation.

The School of Physical, Chemical and Environmental Sciences (PACES) seeks to procure a modern uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) to support teaching, research and innovation in marine science, hydrographic surveying and marine robotics. The platform will significantly enhance practical field teaching by providing students with access to contemporary autonomous survey technology that reflects current industry practice. The acquisition aligns with the strategic direction of UK marine science, where autonomous systems are increasingly central to national marine research infrastructure and offshore operations. It will provide students with experience of the technologies and operational workflows that are now expected across the marine sector, improving graduate employability and strengthening links with industry. The proposed system will expand the University's field teaching capability by increasing the number and diversity of environments in which practical survey exercises can be undertaken. In addition to coastal waters, the platform should be suitable for deployment in ports, harbours, estuaries, inland waters and sheltered bays, creating greater flexibility for undergraduate teaching and postgraduate research. Its portability will also enable deployment during residential field courses and support independent student projects and dissertations, providing more authentic, hands-on learning opportunities throughout the academic year while improving accessibility and inclusivity by allowing students to participate in advanced survey operations without requiring access to crewed survey vessels. To maximise operational flexibility, the USV should be readily transportable by a small team and capable of deployment without specialist lifting equipment. The platform must therefore be person-portable and of modular construction, enabling it to fit within the rear of a standard SUV or pickup vehicle for transportation between field sites. The system should be designed for low maintenance and provide a minimum operational endurance of seven hours on a single battery charge, allowing uninterrupted operation throughout a full teaching or survey day. Hot-swappable battery carriages would be highly desired. The School requires a platform capable of both remote operation from shore and teleconnected operation, providing safe and effective survey capability without personnel entering the water. The system should support the creation and execution of pre-programmed navigation tracks and permit real-time editing of survey parameters and data acquisition whilst underway. Compatibility with the University's existing NORBIT multibeam sonar system is considered very highly desirable/near-essential, allowing integration with existing survey equipment and reducing additional capital expenditure. Safety, environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance are fundamental requirements. The platform should incorporate situational awareness and collision avoidance capabilities to support safe autonomous operations. It must produce zero direct emissions during operation, generate minimal underwater and airborne noise, and avoid pollution of the operating environment. To facilitate straightforward regulatory compliance and minimise operational burden, the vessel should have an overall length of less than 2.5 metres, enabling operation within the scope of the exemptions outlined in MGN 702(M) Amendment 1. Lastly, we would consider an autocast sound-velocity profiler winch highly desirable, and the ability to add/remove other sensors ad hoc, cheaply, and with ease of compatibility as a strong basis for choosing the final vessel.
University Locks is a 651-bed university-managed hall of residence, which provides self-clean accommodation to Birmingham City University students for 41-51 weeks. In addition, the accommodation is let to summer schools and conferences during July and August. This provides a short window to deep clean the accommodation in readiness for new students arriving in September. It is therefore essential that all cleaning is carried out to the highest standard, first and every time, to the proposed schedules. The majority of the rooms are ensuite in cluster flats of mainly 6-8 beds sharing a kitchen/dining/lounge area, with a small number of non-ensuite 2-bed flats. The cleaning schedules provided are indicative of the anticipated cleaning required during the summer and should be used as a basis for the completion of the financial schedule. As the tender process is completed so far in advance of the summer it is to be expected that the actual requirements will vary from those currently indicated in the cleaning schedules. This is for a 3-year term, with the option to extend for 2 years in yearly increments. There is a site visit on Tuesday 13th October between 10am and 12pm.
