In respect of Local Government Reorganisation (“LGR”), on 7 September 2026 the government withdrew an earlier decision that it was minded to establish three unitary councils for Norfolk and announced a ‘rapid review’ of its LGR programme in respect of Norfolk and some other areas. On 4 December 2025, the then Secretary of State for Local Government made a written statement [UIN HCWS1128] stating that the government intended to establish a Mayoral Strategic Authority for Norfolk and Suffolk as soon as possible, and that it was minded to hold inaugural mayoral elections in May 2028. On 7 September 2026, the current Secretary of State said: “The Prime Minister is really clear that the Government’s ambition is to ensure that every area in England has, or is in the process of establishing, a strategic authority by the end of 2027, with strategic authorities in place everywhere by the end of 2028”. Should LGR and/or devolution processes lead to unitary local government in Norfolk and/or to the establishment of a strategic authority covering Norfolk (i) the contract may be transferred, assigned or novated to any successor authority(ies) to the county council, or to any joint body incorporating or formed by any such successor and/or to any strategic authority; and/or (ii) the council or a successor authority or joint body may order services on behalf of other local authorities serving any area within Norfolk's current geographical boundaries.
Mid and South Essex University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) is seeking information from suitably qualified and experienced suppliers capable of undertaking Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) across occupied and operational healthcare facilities using non-disruptive or minimally disruptive testing methodologies. The Trust operates critical healthcare environments that function continuously and therefore requires electrical compliance inspections and testing to be undertaken in a manner that maintains patient safety, supports uninterrupted clinical operations, and minimises disruption to essential services wherever reasonably practicable Scope of Requirement Suppliers are invited to provide information relating to their capability, experience, and methodology for undertaking EICRs within live healthcare environments, including acute hospital sites operating on a 24-hour basis. The Trust seeks a solution that: • Delivers statutory and regulatory compliance. • Minimises the need for planned electrical outages. • Reduces operational disruption to clinical services. • Maintains patient safety and business continuity. • Provides a robust and auditable inspection and testing process. 3. Applicable Standards and Compliance Requirements Suppliers shall demonstrate compliance with all relevant legislation, standards and guidance, including but not limited to: • BS 7671: Requirements for Electrical Installations (current edition). • IET Guidance Note 3: Inspection and Testing. • Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. • HTM 06-01: Electrical Services Supply and Distribution. • HTM 06-02: Electrical Safety Guidance for Low Voltage Systems. • NHS Premises Assurance Model (PAM) requirements where applicable. • NICEIC, ECA, NAPIT or equivalent accredited inspection and testing procedures. Suppliers should demonstrate how their proposed testing methodology satisfies the above requirements whilst supporting the Trust's objective of maintaining service continuity. Testing Without Service Disruption The Trust's preference is for inspection and testing methodologies that minimise or eliminate disruption to clinical and operational services wherever possible. Suppliers shall clearly describe how they will conduct EICRs within operational healthcare facilities whilst avoiding unnecessary interruption to electrical supplies serving critical services. Important clarification The Trust recognizes that certain inspection and testing activities required under BS 7671 may necessitate temporary electrical isolation. The requirement is therefore to avoid unnecessary disruption, apply all reasonably practicable non-disruptive methods first, and tightly control any unavoidable isolation. Where isolation is required, suppliers shall: • Demonstrate that all reasonably practicable non-disruptive testing techniques have been considered. • Clearly identify those tests that require electrical isolation. • Minimise the extent and duration of each isolation. • Provide detailed risk assessments and method statements. • Coordinate all planned outages with the Trust's Estates and Facilities teams. • Maintain continuity of patient care through suitable contingency arrangements. • Provide advance notification of outage requirements. • Clearly define mitigation measures and recovery procedures. • Demonstrate experience in managing electrical testing within live healthcare environments. Suppliers are encouraged to describe any specialist technologies, equipment, software, or recognised industry methodologies that enable condition assessment, fault identification, and compliance verification whilst systems remain energized and operational.
Hertfordshire County Council is procuring a delivery partner for a new Supported Housing scheme at Westbury, Letchworth. The project forms part of the Council's wider five-year programme to increase the supply and quality of supported living accommodation for disabled adults and its Extra Care Housing Programme, which aims to provide modern, accessible homes that promote independence and wellbeing for older people who require care and support. The Council's preferred approach is to work with a Registered Provider that can bring development expertise, long-term ownership and housing management experience, supported by Homes England funding and Registered Provider investment alongside Council resources. The successful partner would develop, own and manage the accommodation on Council-owned land under a long lease arrangement. The Council is currently undertaking preparatory work on the site and expects to progress design and enabling works during 2025/26, with construction planned from 2026 onwards and completion between 2027 and 2030. Outline planning permission is expected to be secured through North Hertfordshire District Council, with any necessary enabling works undertaken to facilitate delivery of the scheme. Hertfordshire County Council (the “Council”) is a large shire county in the south-east of England with a population of 1.2 million. Hertfordshire is a two-tier authority with 10 district and borough councils providing complementary local services to residents. In February 2025, the Council launched a five-year delivery plan to increase the supply and quality of supported living accommodation in Hertfordshire and, in doing so, deliver wider health and wellbeing outcomes to meet the existing and future demand for disabled adults in Hertfordshire by 2030. The programme responds to current and future demand, including people who currently live in unsuitable existing HCC accommodation, people living with their family who now need a home of their own, people in residential care whose needs could be met in supported living, and people living outside Hertfordshire who wish to return. The Supported Living Delivery Programme is intended to replace outdated accommodation, improve quality and accessibility, support independence, and provide modern homes. The Council’s Extra Care delivery programme focusses on the provision of modern, accessible homes across the county that support independent living for older people and adults with care needs. By increasing the supply of Extra Care housing, the council aims to meet growing demand, promote well-being and independence, reduce reliance on residential care and ensure residents can remain in their communities while receiving flexible support tailored to their changing needs. The programme is responding to significant demographic growth, with evidence indicating a need for around 8,000 additional Extra care units by 2042, including approximately 1,800 affordable homes. The Council’s preferred delivery approach is to work with Registered Providers who can bring housing development expertise, long-term ownership and housing management experience. This approach is intended to support delivery at pace while also making use of Homes England funding and Registered Provider investment alongside Council resources. The Council is exploring the best approach to work with developing Registered Providers (both Housing Associations and Local Authorities) (‘RPs’) to deliver, own and manage accommodation on Council owned land via a long lease (virtual freehold). The Council is currently undertaking preparatory work on the Westbury site which is Council owned with a view to progressing design and enabling works during 2026-27, construction in 2027/28 – 2028/29 and phased completion and handover in 2028–30. The Council anticipates obtaining outline planning approval for the site via the Local Planning Authority at North Herts District Council and undertaking enabling works where required to bring the s…

The structure below is indicative only and may change following market engagement and internal approvals: Lot 1 (Lot 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d) - Assets & Investment on a regional supply only basis (geographically split between (a) Scotland, (b) Central / North, (c) South East, (d) South West), as sub-contractors will install the kitchens, as part of the major works contract. Initially, this will not include the supply of appliances. However, may include some appliances such as a Built-in Single Oven or a ceramic domino hob in future). Lot 2 – PfP New Build Developments – England on a supply and install basis. The specification will also likely include a high-end/quality Sales option. Lot 3 (Lot 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f) – PfP New Build Developments - Scotland - The current Scottish Kitchen Framework for New Build Developments in Scotland is due to end August 2027 and so will also be included in this new framework on a supply and installation basis. Previously, the Scottish Framework included the following lots: (1) Highland – Affordable, (2) Highland – Market Sale, (3) North East - Affordable, (4) North East – Market Sale, (5) Central – Affordable, (6) Central – Market Sale. The new framework will include these 6 sub-lots, as categorised previously. The specification will also include a high-end/quality Sales option. This lot is likely to include the supply and installation of appliances. Lot 4 (Lot 4a, 4b)– Repair & FM - The new framework will include a separate lot, for Repairs & FM, Lot 4. Repairs & FM have a separate requirement to the above lots, in that they will require suppliers throughout Scotland & England to be able to provide kitchens through local/easily accessible branches, on a supply only basis. There will be 2 sub lots: Lot 4a for England, Lot 4b for Scotland. Lot 5 - PfP Students - PfP Students may be included on this new Framework, so they can use kitchen providers on a supply only or supply and install basis across England & Scotland. Lot 6 - Appliances (New Developments England and PfP Students only, excluding A&I, Repairs & FM and New Developments Scotland) - The supply or supply and installation of appliances will be included in this separate lot, for the supply and install of kitchens for PfP New Build Developments for Scotland and England and for PfP Students. PfP are keen to understand from supplier perspectives whether appliances should form part of the kitchen framework or be procured separately. The proposed full operating model has not been confirmed. The estimated total value of the framework is anticipated to be in the region of £53,050,000 including VAT, over the four-year term.
The Department for Education is seeking market feedback on the re-procurement of a national Advocacy Helpline and Safety Net Service for looked after children, care leavers, children in need, and other eligible children and young people in England. The service will provide clear, child-friendly information on advocacy rights; a national multi-channel information, advice and signposting service; and a Safety Net advocacy function where local advocacy provision is unavailable, unreasonably delayed, inaccessible or denied. In addition, the Department is exploring the inclusion of a pilot to test an opt-out advocacy model for children living in residential care. Under this model, advocacy would be routinely offered to children unless they choose to decline participation. The Department intends to use this market engagement to gather feedback on the feasibility, affordability and practical delivery considerations associated with incorporating such a pilot within the future contract. The scope, scale and final design of the pilot are therefore subject to further development and market testing. The provider will also be expected to: • maintain accurate information on advocacy provision across England and support children and young people to access appropriate local services; • provide national intelligence to the Department on advocacy demand, access, waiting times, barriers to provision and emerging themes; • maintain appropriate digital, telephony, case management and reporting systems; • comply with safeguarding, information governance, cyber security and data protection requirements; • ensure appropriate workforce capacity, skills, training and quality assurance arrangements; • support performance monitoring, evaluation and continuous improvement; and • ensure continuity of service throughout the contract period. The Department is particularly interested in market views on the delivery model, affordability, workforce implications and implementation requirements associated with integrating an opt-out advocacy pilot within the wider Advocacy Helpline and Safety Net Service.
