The Warwickshire County Council is establishing a dynamic purchasing system to secure the supply of a suite of road traffic surveys. Through this system suppliers will be able to provide automatic traffic count, junction turning count, active travel, automatic number plate recognition and parking surveys across the county’s highway network. Each survey type is designed to run for specific durations—two‑week periods for traffic counts, weekday spikes for turning, active travel and parking surveys, and compact intervals for ANPR—providing comprehensive data on vehicle volumes, speeds, classifications, origin‑destination journeys, emissions, and parking usage.

Operators elected to the DPS will register with the council’s free e‑tendering platform, In‑Tend, with all communication funneled through the system’s correspondence function. Upon successful admission and a 30‑day initial period, suppliers will receive notifications of contracting opportunities and may choose to bid on the tasks that suit their capabilities. The system is structured as a recurring procurement with a four‑year validity and the possibility of renewal, while options and variants are excluded.

All surveys must conform to UK road safety and data protection standards.

The Air Combat Command Headquarters, through its Acquisition Management Integration Center, is issuing a Commercial Solutions Opening to procure innovative commercial technologies and services that accelerate the realization of new capabilities critical to ACC’s combat and information‑operations mission. The solicitation invites commercial solutions that are not currently employed by the United States Air Force and that can close identified capability gaps or advance mission‑critical technologies. Topics covered in Attachment 7—ranging from advanced sensors and AI analytics to cyber‑resilience and logistics automation—are open to any new technologies, processes, applications, or methods that are newly developed on the date of proposal submission.

Proposals are evaluated in a two‑phased process.

Selected prospects are invited to Phase II, where a full technical and price proposal is submitted in accordance with detailed formatting guidelines and evaluated primarily on technical merit and alignment with ACC priorities. Awards will be issued under FAR Part 12 or other transactions, and although no funding is presently available, ACC will pursue funding for the most promising proposals.

All solutions must be novel as of the proposal submission date, consistent with DFARS 212.70, and will be treated as commercial items under the solicitation.

Hampshire County Council is launching a ten‑year Open Framework for Skills Development, designed to enable the council to respond rapidly to grant and other funding opportunities and deliver training to the public and employees of businesses throughout Hampshire, including Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight, with potential delivery in neighbouring counties such as Wiltshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Surrey and West Sussex. The framework, governed under a Light Touch Regime, will remain open for new applications from the day of publication and will be divided into seven distinct lots, each catering to a specific type of training provider: further education colleges, private sector training suppliers, higher education institutions, academy schools and other educational establishments, voluntary or charitable organisations, other public sector training organisations, and employer representative groups.

Providers will be required to meet the minimum criteria set out in the Invitation to Tender in order to join the framework. Once accepted, call‑offs will be awarded through a variety of procedures – mini‑competitions, e‑auctions for price‑only awards, and, where necessary, direct awards – and may need to commence quickly to satisfy the timing constraints of the funding sources. The framework will serve as a partnership mechanism to commission both current and future skills‑based initiatives that align with local and national priorities.

All awards will be governed by the specified CPV codes and must execute delivery within Hampshire and its surrounding counties, ensuring that training programmes are delivered in accordance with the council’s standards and the contractual regime.
