The Framework invites suppliers to provide the comprehensive infrastructure and service portfolio required by Culture Liverpool to deliver the Major Outdoor and Cultural events for Liverpool City Council. The procurement aims to secure, in a provisional and flexible manner, the essential equipment, facilities and professional support that will allow the council to meet the evolving demands of its event programme during the planning and execution stages.

Under the Framework, contractors will be expected to supply and install a broad spectrum of assets and services. These encompass power generation systems together with associated support equipment; a variety of fencing and barrier solutions; operational assistance aligned with event operating plans and statutory requirements; medical provision for event duration; a range of portable cabins and sanitary facilities; complete event audio‑visual and lighting suites for both indoor and outdoor venues; infrastructure to manage major closures and diversion routes; static security and crowd‑management services; traffic‑management provisions for all closures and internal event routing; temporary roadworks including trackway and aluminium roll‑out roadways; temporary marquee structures; the management of event‑specific licensing and processes; hostile vehicle mitigation measures; bespoke stages tailored to each event’s scale; screen solutions covering all aspects of supply and removal; catering provisions for all event personnel; and a full pyrotechnics service covering design, deployment, and safe removal. Each of these items forms a distinct lot within the Framework, allowing contracting entities to access only the specific capabilities they require.

All supplied equipment and services must comply with the relevant UK safety and performance regulations and be delivered in accordance with the event management and licensing processes prescribed by the City of Liverpool.

The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership is inviting bids for a five‑year contract covering the National Joint Registry across Northern Ireland, Wales, England, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. The supplier will be responsible for the secure operation, maintenance, and continuous development of the Registry’s data management platform and all statistical and analytical services that underpin the procurement of the largest orthopaedic joint replacement registry in the world. Work will be confined to the core value sum, with the possibility of subsequent extensions of up to two years.

Key deliverables include end‑to‑end data collection, entry and validation through accepted interfaces; secure hosting, storage and management of patient and procedural information; data linkage to national and international datasets; continuous monitoring and outliers management for implant and patient outcomes; and the production of reports, dashboards and research‑ready data for clinicians, commissioners, regulators and industry partners. The contract also requires the design, deployment and user support of stakeholder‑facing digital services, including web‑based reporting portals, and the provision of help‑desk, training and communication services to ensure high levels of user engagement and data quality.

The successful supplier must demonstrate a proven ability to deliver secure, resilient, and scalable data services, including robust cybersecurity, business continuity and regulatory compliance plans; enable interoperability via open standards and modern APIs; and bring experience in automation, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence that complies with legal, ethical and information‑governance frameworks.

The NHS Supply Chain is establishing a comprehensive Medical Simulation and Technologies Framework designed to supply a broad range of training aids for clinical practice. The framework will cover full‑body manikins for human patient simulation, specialised task trainers for skills such as cannulation and suturing, advanced procedural and surgical simulators, immersive virtual reality and mixed‑reality environments, and software systems for designing, delivering and analysing simulation training. Each of these categories is organised into distinct lots, allowing procurement providers to bid on one or more areas that align with their expertise.

The full‑body simulators will range from basic models for basic life support to high‑fidelity systems capable of replicating complex patient interactions and multidisciplinary team scenarios. Task trainers focus on repetitive, skill‑specific practice with realistic anatomy and performance feedback. Procedure‑specific simulators replicate laparoscopic, robotic, or interventional work environments to enable hands‑on competency assessment. Immersive technology goods include VR/XR/MR hardware, virtual clinical environments and accompanying recording solutions that facilitate scenario‑based learning and debriefing. Finally, software solutions within the framework provide performance tracking, analytics and potential AI‑driven insights for workforce development, and are offered without the need for physical hardware.

All suppliers must meet specified technical standards, including ISO 9001:2015 or ISO 13485:2016 certification, CE conformity declarations, and relevant cybersecurity and sustainability requirements.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has established the Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) to procure work‑focused activities across Jobcentre Plus districts throughout England, Scotland and Wales. The system replaces the earlier FSF DPS, which expired on 31 October 2021, and is intended to provide a light touch procurement regime for social and other services specified in Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The DPS is exclusively for the use of DWP and is expected to deliver an estimated value of £250 million over its lifetime.

Because the DWP has migrated to the new e‑procurement platform Atamis, the usual online application route to join the FSF DPS 2 is temporarily suspended. Suppliers wishing to participate must now submit an email request to cdfsf.adhocprocurement@dwp.gov.uk and will receive acceptance information and further instructions by email. While the online process is offline, all suppliers are required to create an Atamis account through the DWP Atamis landing page and follow the on‑screen registration steps.

The FSF DPS 2 is suitable for small and medium‑sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Contractors will provide work‑focused activities that meet the requirements outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations, and all participants must hold an active Atamis account and accept browser cookies to access the supplier portal.

The Council seeks experienced contractors to deliver comprehensive grounds maintenance across the town. The main focus is the upkeep of urban grass verges, hedges, trees, shrubs, rights of way, an established cemetery, May Balfour Gardens, and bin collection. The services include regular grass cutting and trimming, hedge and shrub pruning, rights of way clearance, cemetery upkeep in a respectful and accessible manner, garden maintenance with minimal visitor disruption, and efficient waste collection while minimizing environmental impact.

Applicants must detail their approach to maintaining the various green spaces, highlighting how they will nurture biodiversity, ensure a tidy appearance where required, and uphold safety standards for all users. In addition to the core duties, contractors may be asked to provide auxiliary work such as occasional hedge pruning outside the regular schedule and clearing of overgrown footways. All work must be carried out in accordance with the Council’s specification and applicable environmental and safety regulations.
