Framework for Council House Delivery Programme

There remains a need for more affordable homes across County Durham and on the 12th July 2023 Durham County Council Cabinet agreed an updated business plan for the Council House Delivery Programme.The delivery of affordable housing to meet needs is a corporate priority and is identified in the Council Plan (2022-26) as part of the 'Our Communities' priority where it is stated: 'We want to provide a range of new housing to meet the needs and aspirations of our residents ... We aim to deliver more affordable housing'. Our People priority area sets out that 'People will be supported to live independently for as long as possible by delivering more homes to meet the needs of older and disabled people' A key performance indicator of the Council Plan is to increase the net delivery of affordable homes in line with the identified need. Furthermore, the County Durham Housing Strategy (2019) seeks to maximise the delivery of affordable housing.The market has been unable to deliver the number of affordable housing numbers required to meet the identified need of 836 affordable houses per year. In the five years between 2017/18 and 2021/22, the number of new affordable homes delivered (2,647) fell 36.7% short of the number needed (4,180). The failure to deliver the number of affordable homes required is adding pressure to the Council's Temporary Accommodation budget. In demographic terms, the population of County Durham is ageing and over the next few decades, there will be a 'demographic shift' with the number (and proportion) of older people increasing. Population projections for County Durham indicate that from 2016 to 2035 the number of people aged over 65 will increase from 105,200 to 146,300 (a 39% increase) and those aged 75 and over will increase from 45,700 to 75,700 (a 65.6% increase). As most older people usually live in small households, mainly as couples and single people, a minimum of 90% of household growth over the County Durham Plan period (2016-35) will be in households aged over 65.Homes will be developed to meet general affordable needs, including for families and couples, helping to tackle homelessness and bring down the cost of temporary accommodation. Bungalows will also be built to meet the needs of older people within our communities.The Council House Delivery Programme would therefore serve to introduce an additional supply route for the provision of affordable homes in the County.To ensure that any houses developed will serve to meet the requirements of occupants with differing needs including older or disabled people, all homes will be built to M4(2) adaptable and accessible standard. These properties allow adaptations to meet the changing needs of tenants over time. The Framework will be let as a sole supplier agreement with a number one ranked contractor, with two further contractors held in reserve. The number one placed contractor will have first discussion over any subsequent scheme. The Council, however, reserves the right to engage with the second-place contractor and then the third - place Contractor on the framework in order to price up an individual scheme or to conduct a Further Competition from the Framework at its sole discretion and as outlined in the framework agreement - call-off section. This would only be invoked where there were concerns regarding the delivery of the programme by the first placed contractor in relation to performance, timeliness, efficiency, effectiveness, quality, or cost.Following the Tender process, the main Contractor will enter into a PCSA for the First Project which will be Greenwood Avenue and Portland Avenue and will work with the Council and their Technical Advisor, Identity Consult, to develop a contract sums within the Council's budget. These contract sums will utilise any costs fixed during this tender process. Future sites will follow the same process but with the inflation mechanism set out in

23029 Cambridgeshire County Council Security Services Framework

Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) wishes to invite tenders for the supply of Security Services. The Authority’s non-school properties, sites and land assets require a mix of electronic security control using intruder alarm and CCTV systems and a human security element via manned guarding services. The Council’s non-school properties, sites, land assets require a mix of electronic security control using intruder alarm and CCTV systems and a human security element via manned guarding services. The intruder alarm systems protect our buildings and sites overnight and over weekends and the CCTV systems add coverage outside working hours, but additionally add security 24/7/365, with recordings stored to help us investigate and eliminate anti-social behaviour against property, staff and visiting public. At the time of writing, we manage intruder alarm systems across 79 sites and CCTV systems across 35 sites. The number of CCTV systems are increasing as (a) the libraries Open Access project (un-manned libraries) moves forward and (b) as Security Risk Assessments as a result of anti-social behaviour dictate that these systems would be beneficial. The electronic systems onsite signal an activation to a monitoring station and the security provider’s 24/7 Control Room then despatches a security guard to site to act upon findings. In addition to the electronic security systems, manned guarding functions include: keyholding for all buildings, alarm response, patrols, locking and unlocking services and boarding up services. The security guards can call out the Authority’s maintenance contractor as required for any major building issues outside working hours. The Authority proposes to enter into a framework agreement for an initial period of 36 months with a single provider, with 2 options to extend for a further 12 months, making 60 months in total (3+1+1 years).The value of this contract is currently approximately £330,000 p.a., but as buildings are added or removed from the estate, this will fluctuate. It is difficult to predict the exact value of this contract as the Authority’s property portfolios are likely to vary over the contract term, but it is estimated that the total value will not be less £1.25m or greater than £2m. The stated upper value of £2m is by no means guaranteed, and only represents the headroom we need to allow should additional public bodies within Cambridgeshire wish to use this contract. Bidders are strongly advised to concentrate on the lower end of the stated range of value of £2m rather than the upper value when choosing whether and how to bid for this opportunity. If the estate reduces, the costs for the general security contract will mirror that reduction. Bidders are required to submit a Social Value proposal via the Social Value Portal (full instructions can be found within the ITT document).The Authority have invested in an e-tendering tool in order to facilitate its tendering processes in a compliant and transparent manner.Potential Providers will need to register an account via the "Procontract Portal" at https://procontract.due-north.com/Register before being able to view the full tender details.In order to access the tender documentation, click "Find Opportunities", then on the drop-down menu, filter by "Cambridgeshire Public Services" by clicking on "Update" to find the relevant opportunity or alternatively within the organisations drop down select Cambridgeshire County Council to also find the relevant opportunity.

Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement

Northern Trains Limited (NTL), the "Utility", a Train Operating Company (TOC) that operates passenger rail services across the North of England, is undertaking this procurement process on behalf of a number of "Contracting Utilities" including Train Operating Companies in Great Britain, Network Rail, and a number of Local Transport Authorities. The requirement comprises a framework agreement for the supply and maintenance of Gateline Infrastructure that will enable members of the travelling public to access rail services at stations and other designated locations. The services include: a)Supply of New Gateline infrastructure, including the mechanical components required to control passenger access to designated areas; bank-card readers that possess the necessary certification for compliant use; ITSO card and bar-code readers; b)Installation and Commissioning Services - of Gateline Infrastructure including any required sourcing and supply arrangements, planning, permissions, civils works, connection to all systems and networks, testing and commissioning compliant with all rail industry and other required compliance requirements and standards. An option to decommission Gateline Infrastructure is included within these services; c)The option for Upgrades to existing Gateline components - as may be required so that existing infrastructure or components may be updated and improved to reflect latest functionality and standards; d)Maintenance and Operation - including Device Management to enable the operation of both new and updated Gateline Infrastructure to effective operational levels, providing an acceptable level of service to the public; and e)Demonstrable delivery of Social Value The key objective of the procurement is to establish a framework agreement with a single economic operator that will enable NTL "the Utility" (and the other Contracting Utilities listed on this notice) to enter into their own respective Agreements under the framework following conclusion of the procurement exercise. The nature of the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement is that both supply, works and services will be 'called-off' by the Utility and Contracting Utilities in accordance with their specific requirements following contract award and in accordance with a 'call-off' procedure that will be subject to negotiation during the procurement process. The value of the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement will therefore depend upon the level of subscription to the framework, however the estimated value is based upon supply and commissioning of 500 Gateline Infrastructure components and their operation and maintenance over the initial contract term and two extension periods. Northern Trains (NTL) has chosen to run the procurement under the negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition under Regulation 47 of the Utilities Contract Regulations 2016. Given the subject matter of the framework agreement and the exceptional circumstances that apply in respect of award of a contract to single economic operator and proprietary nature of maintenance and operation obligations, the term of the agreement will exceed 8 years as set out in Clause 51(3) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016. The contract term for the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement is consequently a five-year initial term with two options for further 5-year extensions.

Nature Based Solutions in the Wensum and the Bure

Overview of Requirement<br/>The Environment Agency (EA) wish to support the creation of a national evidence base for chalk catchments, for use in Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP) and other water resource considerations. The EA and Water Resources East (WRE) also wish to explore whether Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can be used to increase water availability, to improve groundwater recharge and support low flows in rivers. <br/>Modelling and mapping have already taken place in the chalk river catchments of the Test, Cam, Wensum, and Bure to identify the types of locations which best enable recharge. More specifically in the Wensum, modelling showed that interventions such as soil improvements and run-off attenuation features at scale could improve low flows from 5% – 15% in the catchment. A project is now being developed to evaluate these outputs in the Wensum catchment, via a comprehensive monitoring programme, which may run for several years. <br/><br/>Project Drivers<br/>The outputs from this work will help the Environment Agency and Water Resource East to deliver other pieces of work, which include:<br/>Plan, projects, and strategies<br/>• Linking to the WRE’s Norfolk Water Strategy Programme on nature-based solutions, which is a collaboration with The Nature Conservancy, the Norfolk councils, and Anglian Water,<br/>• Aligning to the objectives of the Defra 25 Year Environment Plan - Primarily ‘Clean and plentiful water’ and mitigation of the impacts of climate change, ‘Thriving plants and wildlife’ and ‘Reducing risks of harm from environmental hazards’ (floods and drought),<br/>• Catchment licensing strategies by 2027 and Commitments in River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs) to support implementation of the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England and Wales) Regulations 2017,<br/>• Contributing towards catchment measures as part of the Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP),<br/>• Evidence to support the new Environmental Land Management Schemes (ELMS),<br/>• Evidence to support the production of Local Nature Recovery Strategies,<br/>• Support the National FCRM Strategy.<br/>• Contributing towards achievement of the CaBA Chalk Stream Strategy, and the Environment Agency’s chalk streams programme.<br/><br/>Environmental outcomes<br/>• Providing groundwater that is more resilient to the impacts of climate change, droughts and mitigating the impacts of abstraction,<br/>• Assess water quality benefits including increased baseflow values (valuable from a water quality discharge perspective) and reduced sediment deposition,<br/>• Potential biodiversity benefits arising from the temporary storage of water in the landscape.<br/> <br/>Scope <br/>The EA/WRE wish to commission the following pieces of work. The EA and WRE are also happy with the use of sub-contractors to support this work as this project does include a wide skillset and background knowledge. We are currently programming this work to complete in March 2026 but are actively searching for additional funds to continue through to March 2028.<br/><br/>The overall long-term (FY2023 - 2026) objectives of this monitoring equipment are to assess runoff attenuation features (RAFs) for:<br/>A. Changes in seepage, groundwater recharge and evaporation processes to support water resources throughout the monitoring period, <br/>B. The identification of any changes in surface water flow regimes from sub-headwater catchments to support water resources throughout the monitoring period.
