North East Lincolnshire Council is inviting providers to become members of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) specifically designed for the procurement of apprenticeship training programmes. This will replace the former DPS for Apprenticeship Training Programmes (DN311727) that concluded on 15 January 2022. By joining the new system, training providers will be able to participate in recurring competitions for apprenticeships awarded by the Council, and the Council may also use the DPS on behalf of Academy Schools situated within the North East Lincolnshire area.

The DPS will operate for a maximum of eight years, though the Council reserves the right to terminate the system after a period of 48 months should the need for its continuity change. A single initial deadline of thirty days after publication is set for requests to participate, after which providers may submit participation requests at any time while the DPS remains active. Once admitted, providers will compete for individual apprenticeship contracts whenever the Council initiates a further competition, with each contract’s commencement date and duration determined at the time of award. The procurement is structured as a recurrent system, with no options or variant clauses permitted.

The estimated value of the contract is £1,920,000.00 excluding VAT, and the procurement will be conducted entirely in English through the e‐tender portal https://yortender.eu-supply.com/. No variants or options are allowed, with all requests for participation and clarifications directed to the designated online platform. The contract will run for eight years, subject to early termination after forty‑eight months if necessary.

The Ministry of Justice is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System for Minor Works (MWDPS) to support construction, maintenance and repair activities across its estate, including prisons, courts, tribunals and selected Home Office and corporate buildings in England, Wales and Scotland. The system will offer a streamlined alternative route to market for projects and high‑impact remedial works up to £1 million, while accommodating maintenance obligations and facilitating rapid, short‑duration call‑off contracts. The MWDPS is intended to attract a broad base of contractors, with no cap on the number of participants, and the Ministry remains open to SME involvement to enhance competition.

Work under the MWDPS will be classified into five headline lots: Building Structure and Groundworks; Mechanical Engineering including HVAC; Electrical Engineering including Security; Demolition Work; and Multidisciplinary Construction Work. Each lot is further divided into detailed work categories, and individual projects may range from a couple of weeks to nine months, with maintenance contracts potentially extending beyond one year. The system will leverage Constructionline as the hosting and vetting platform, requiring prospective contractors to obtain an associate Constructionline membership and register for the system through the provided portal.

Contractual terms for call‑off agreements will be drawn from the NEC Engineering & Construction Short Contract for project work and the NEC Term Services Contract for maintenance work, with the possibility of bespoke terms for very low‑value or straightforward scope. The procurement will be conducted under Regulation 34 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and will operate for an initial four‑year period with optional extensions, guided by evolving business needs.
NEC-term contracting will govern call‑off contracts, with potential bespoke arrangements for qualifying works.

All training must comply with relevant national accreditation standards and health and safety regulations.

The United States Space Force’s Space Acquisition & Integration Office is conducting a Commercial Solutions Opening to identify innovative commercial products and services that strengthen Space Domain Awareness (SDA) capabilities. The solicitation is specifically targeted at small‑business respondents and seeks proposals that advance the detection, characterization, attribution and prediction of activities in the space domain. The primary objective is to enhance the accuracy, timeliness, and operational applicability of SDA data through novel software, data analytics, and experimental technologies that can transition to operational use.

The current Area of Interest, Advanced SDA Tools for Research and Analytics (ASTRA), calls for research and development efforts that deliver prototypes and experimental frameworks in three technical focus areas: (1) scalable, adaptable data‑management tools for storing, translating, tagging and integrating heterogeneous sensor observations; (2) modeling, simulation and analytics techniques that improve sensor performance assessment and enable dynamic weighting of observations; and (3) agile software prototyping that incorporates government‑developed astrodynamics toolkits and can evolve into maintainable, deployable systems. These solutions must demonstrate integration with the SDA enterprise workflow and be able to adapt to evolving mission needs, with deliverables such as prototypes, models, and experimental frameworks rather than production‑ready systems.

Selection will proceed through a three‑phase process beginning with an unclassified white paper and PowerPoint briefing, followed optionally by pitch sessions and, for selected solutions, a full proposal package. All submissions must comply with NIST SP 800‑171 and CMMC 2.0 cybersecurity requirements.

The Space Acquisition and Integration Office (SAIO) of the United States Space Force is issuing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) entitled “Advanced SDA Tools for Research and Analytics (ASTRA)” to solicit innovative commercial solutions that strengthen Space Domain Awareness (SDA). The solicitation focuses on the development of advanced software engineering, data analytics, and prototype technologies that can detect, characterize, and predict activities in the space domain, thereby improving the accuracy and timeliness of SDA data and supporting emerging mission requirements. Applicants are encouraged to present research and development efforts that produce proof‑of‑concept demonstrations, prototypes, and experimental frameworks rather than fully production‑ready systems, with particular emphasis on research and prototyping in the fields of data management, sensor analytics, and agile software development.

Efforts requested under this CSO span three technical focus areas: (1) scalable and adaptable data management tools for storing, translating, and indexing diverse sensor observations; (2) modeling and analytics techniques that enhance the accuracy of LEO sensor performance predictions and support phased array radar assessments; and (3) agile software prototyping methods that enable rapid development and smooth transition from experimental concepts to operational systems. The project is strictly a 100 % small‑business set‑aside and is eligible for a total Phase‑III award pool of $1.5 million, with a 12‑month period of performance and a formal, multi‑phase submission process that begins with a white‑paper and PowerPoint briefing in Phase I, followed optionally by a pitch session and a full proposal in Phase III.

Submissions must follow the CSO’s defined phases, with Phase I documents required to be unclassified and all further phases subject to the appropriate classification levels as specified in the AOI. Offerors must adhere to the specified formats for the PowerPoint briefing (including a quad chart) and the white‑paper, and they must comply with cybersecurity standards, including NIST SP 800‑171 and CMMC 2.0.

The Army’s Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center is conducting a commercial solutions opening that invites innovative commercial items, technologies and services designed to close capability gaps and accelerate the delivery of mission‑critical functions for a wide range of Air Force installations and programs. The procurement covers a portfolio of areas of interest that includes modernizing housing management and infrastructure data, streamlining the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process through advanced analytics and AI, capturing as‑built Building Information Modeling (BIM) data for multi‑base use, creating a unified enterprise‑wide contracting data repository and dashboard, modernizing legacy civil engineering IT systems, developing rapid design kits for field engineers, automating remote UAV operations, and establishing a data science framework for predictive insight across the installation network. Each area of interest is treated as a stand‑alone solicitation under a unified “SPEED” framework that allows the government to award commercial contracts using an accelerated, single‑phase Spiral 1 video or written brief, with subsequent Fly‑by presentations (Spiral 2) and, if required, commercial solution proposals (Spiral 3).

The solutions requested must demonstrate the ability to integrate seamlessly with existing Air Force data systems and cloud platforms, automate data workflows, and deliver real‑time dashboards or actionable AI recommendations to support decision‑making by installed and support operations. For housing and infrastructure work, vendors must be able to import and validate data from legacy drawings, laser‑scanned surveys, and existing asset management databases, then expose that information through approved analytic suites such as Power BI, Tableau or native Azure services. BRAC and data science solicitations call for AI‑driven extraction of structured and unstructured data, predictive modeling of environmental remediation or resource allocation, and continuous monitoring tools that reduce manual effort and support rapid physics‑based forecasts. Design‑kit and UAV autonomic framework solicitations require offline usability, rapid generation times, a non‑proprietary protocol stack (e.g., MAVLink), and sensor agnostic interoperability with command and control applications such as Tactical Information Dissemination or the Common Operating Picture.

All solutions must meet DoD security and acquisition standards, be deployable in a single or multi‑cloud environment authorized for at least Impact Level 5, and utilize the Federal Risk Management Framework for access control, cryptographic protection, and continuous monitoring. They must also produce structured data models that support the Air Force’s data fabric, provide role‑based access via Common Access Card, and adhere to AFM‑issued guidance on data governance, AI ethics, and system interoperability. In short, solutions must be built for a DoD‑approved cloud, fully RMF‑compliant, integrated with existing Air Force data platforms, and compliant with AFI 38‑401 and DAF security policy.
