The City of Derry and Strabane District Council is inviting airlines to operate a Public Service Obligation (PSO) air service between City of Derry Airport and a London airport. The Council requires that the service connect to any one of the six London airports that meet the Department for Transport definition of a London airport, namely Gatwick, Heathrow, City, Luton, Southend or Stansted; candidates are encouraged to present more than one airport option, each with its own cost breakdown, so that value added through hub access can be evaluated. The operation will run under a two‑year contract with the possibility of a 24‑month extension, subject to further approval by the DfT, the Department for Economy and the Council Committee, provided performance remains satisfactory.

The route will be fully funded by the Department for Transport and the Department for Economy for the first 24 months, after which an assessment of value for money will determine continued funding. Operators are required to secure slot availability at the chosen London airport through the regular allocation process, as no government ring‑fencing of slots will be provided. All flight operations must use an airport that the Department for Transport defines as providing access to Transport Zone 1 of London within 60 minutes by rail, and must acquire required slots via the normal slot allocation procedure.

The Scottish Government is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for procurement of fire alarm design and installation services, together with associated project management support. The DPS is divided into two distinct lots: Lot 1 covering the full spectrum of fire alarm design and installation work, and Lot 2 providing the specialist project management services required to oversee and coordinate those installations. Each lot is open to call‑off contracts that may span from thousands to millions of pounds, but the Government has not committed to any volume guarantee, meaning that spend is not assured through the DPS.

Candidates are invited to submit proposals in English, and the procurement process is understood to be recurrent, with potential additional notifications awaiting confirmation in the future. Award decisions will weigh quality heavily, with a weighting between 40 % and 80 %, and cost between 20 % and 60 %. Successful bidders will be required to adhere to the standards and safety requirements established by the DPS throughout the project lifecycle.

All work is to be performed within the Falkirk Council area and must be carried out by no more than five contractors per lot under a 4‑year framework that may be awarded on a lot‑by‑lot basis.

The contract term runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2031 and will not be subject to renewal.
