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.

Collection and consolidation of British Horserace Betting Data

Three-year contract for the collection, anonymisation and amalgamation of race by race turnover and gross win betting data for all races taking place in Great Britain, for provision (at race by race level) to the Horserace Betting Levy Board and participating bookmakers. The successful bidder must be able to demonstrate, based on relevant previous experience, the ability and resource capacity to source and then accurately, securely and quickly process around one million items of commercially sensitive data per annum, comprising twelve monthly data feeds. The data will be provided by a number of separate betting operators: thus, the successful bidder must also be able to prove the ability to deal with multiple sources of input during a single process, as well as liaising successfully with multiple organisations; including, where needed, fast and accurate resolution of any data quality issues. Good relationship management with the participating betting operators, who provide the data voluntarily, will be essential.The data is commercially sensitive and will be used across a range of areas, making both data security and accuracy paramount; the successful bidder must thus also be able to demonstrate robust digital security, including secure methods of data transfer and data handling, and data quality assurance procedures. Given the confidential nature of the data being processed, the successful bidder will need to have demonstrated that it is Cyber Essentials Plus (or higher) qualified. Additionally, the successful bidder will need to operate, as an organisation, under non-disclosure agreements with both the Horserace Betting Levy Board and participating bookmakers. The collection of race by race data from betting operators, and the provision of that data in anonymised and amalgamated form to the Horserace Betting Levy Board, will occur monthly in the first instance, though more frequent data collection and provision may be needed by exception. The successful bidder will need to demonstrate the resource capacity to cope with this circumstance. The data supplied by betting operators will comprise, at a minimum, race identifiers; digital, retail and total betting turnover data; and digital, retail and total gross win data. This information will need to be amalgamated with a separate data set, provided by the Horserace Betting Levy Board, comprising further race by race details, including, but not limited to, race code, type and distance.Race by race betting data should be collected from the betting operators by the end of the third working day of each month. The Horserace Betting Levy Board will provide a partial racing data set to the successful bidder by the first working day of each month, to enable sense checking of the betting data, followed by a full racing data set, for amalgamation with the betting data, on or around the 8th of the month. The successful bidder would be expected to provide the full data set to the Horserace Betting Levy Board within three working days of receipt of the full racing data set.A high level of data quality is essential and the data supplied by the successful bidder to the Horserace Betting Levy Board, which will be shared onwards with participating betting operators, will be subject to review upon receipt. The Horserace Betting Levy Board may ask questions relating to the data supplied and, if necessary, request a review meeting. The successful bidder must be able to demonstrate robust data quality procedures, including strong internal verification processes and comparison of contemporary and historic trends when assessing the betting data prior to provision; and also the resource capacity to deal with any resulting questions.The duration of the contract is three years.Tenders should be submitted to dcpt@hblb.org.uk

Financial Risk Modelling Services

Homes England means Homes England (the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency), or anyone acting on behalf of Homes England that is seeking to invite suitable Suppliers to participate in this procurement process.Homes England produces a range of macroeconomic forecasts on a quarterly basis. These macroeconomic forecasts need to be translated into the impact on the portfolio, and used to quantify, understand, and manage the financial risk to the Agency.Homes England manages a multi-billion-pound Recoverable Investment portfolio consisting of c. 300 loans. The portfolio has been running since 2016 and is highly concentrated in the UK housing market with a skew towards small / medium housebuilders with limited financial and credit history, as well as special purpose vehicles (SPVs) set up to specifically to develop a site. Security for the loans is typically provided by the land associated with the development. Internal data for quantitatively estimating the impact of different macroeconomic scenarios on the various model parameters is limited.A range of models including Expected Credit Loss models and Stress Testing models are used to quantify the financial risk of different macroeconomic scenarios on the Recoverable Investment portfolio. The inputs into these models are generally Probability of Default estimates (both through the cycle and point in time), exposure at default estimates, and Loss Given Default estimates. The regularly updated macroeconomic forecasts therefore need to be translated into these parameters for use in the various models. The Quantitative Risk and Stress Testing team (QRS) at Homes England manages this process.All loans are internally credit rated on origination and on a regular basis throughout the term of the loan. The current process for producing the parameter estimates involves both quantitative analysis and qualitative assessment, converting the internal ratings into the required parameter estimates. Homes England also subscribes to an external ratings agency service to assist with benchmarking the estimates.Homes England is seeking assistance on producing these estimates on an ongoing basis.
