Culture Liverpool, operating under Liverpool City Council, is announcing a framework contract to secure a wide array of event‑support infrastructure and services required for its Major Outdoor Events and Cultural Programme. The framework will provide a provisional and flexible supply chain capable of delivering, installing, maintaining and removing the full spectrum of equipment and personnel necessary to execute large‑scale events across the city. The initiative aims to streamline the procurement process for future events, ensuring that all essential assets are readily available in accordance with the organisation’s planning and regulatory requirements.

It also includes accommodation provisions or preferential hotel rates for about 100 delegates, with full details on availability, pricing, accessibility, booking terms and proximity to the venue.

The second lot is devoted to comprehensive event management and technical support required for a global hybrid conference.

Technical services will incorporate audio‑visual systems, hybrid delivery solutions, Zoom integration, online speaker support, session recording, video editing, secure file transfer, connectivity support and a final technical simulation. Collaboration with LSHTM, ANH Academy, Stellenbosch University, the venue and other local partners is essential. The venue and event services must provide hybrid capability and a single-use plastic‑free environment.

Procurement for Housing (PfH), a national procurement consortium serving the social housing sector, seeks to establish a four‑year framework agreement across the United Kingdom for the supply of building and construction materials. The framework will be organised into multiple distinct lots, each designed to cover specific material categories and supply routes, with a full description published in the tender notice. PfH’s intent is to streamline procurement for its members, representing the majority of UK social‑housing stock, by providing a cohesive, centrally managed procurement solution that spans from plumbing and heating to electrical components, building essentials, and renewable‑related supplies.

Among the lots specified, providers will be required to supply plumbing, heating and gas materials; electrical components; core building and construction items; aids and adaptations; materials sourced through national consortia or buying groups; managed store and service solutions; renewable and retrofit materials; on‑demand deliveries supported by branch networks; kitchen items for responsive works; and technology solutions such as van stock to support the supply chain. Each lot will include allocations for the broader UK market as well as separate sub‑lots for Scottish and Welsh customers. The evaluation of suppliers will be based primarily on quality (60%) with price (40%) as the supplementary criterion, ensuring that high‑standard products and services are emphasised.

All supplied materials must comply with applicable United Kingdom building regulations and relevant industry standards.

The Nottingham City Council has launched a multi‑lot open framework to secure independent Alternative Provision Education services that comply with the Education (Schools Funding) Act. The framework is designed to create a roster of qualified providers for three distinct areas of service: (1) Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and specialist education, (2) crisis and stabilisation support, and (3) core education for post‑16 and long‑term alternative provision. Framework members will be called upon through successive call‑off contracts, allowing the council to re‑open the framework to new suppliers as necessary to meet capacity, competition and local government re‑organisation requirements.

Each lot specifies particular service characteristics. SEND & Specialist Education providers must deliver support aligned to Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) outcomes, including a written placement plan within ten working days of referral and robust multi‑agency collaboration with families, health and education professionals. The Crisis & Stabilisation lot demands rapid, intensive, trauma‑informed interventions beginning within ten working days of referral, with aims to prevent students from becoming NEET and to secure onward pathways. Core Education services must offer full‑time or part‑time programmes that align with home‑school curricula, provide access to accredited qualifications, and include regular, family‑informed placement plan reviews. All services fall under a light‑touch special regime, are subject to renewal and may be modified under the 2023 Procurement Act to accommodate statutory, regulatory and organisational updates. Each provider must ensure placement plans are written and refreshed within ten working days, in accordance with EHCP and trauma‑informed principles.
