Milton Keynes City Council (the "Council") are currently out to tender for the provision of concession contract for Residential EV chargers.

The Council has been allocated £1.442M OZEV LEVI (Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) Capital funding.

The funding will be used to deliver a range of residential, on-street charging infrastructure.

With a combination of LEVI funding and private sector funding we are proposing to deliver around 101 charge points per tendered Lot across two geographically split Lots.

Each residential locality within the Lots will be assessed for viable EVI installations consisting of a mix of 7-22kw and 50kw chargers.

This equates to around 202 charging sockets per Lot.

In addition to the installation of new residential charge points, from June 2029, these contracts will also include the transition of all Milton Keynes City Councils existing residential charge points within the localities of each Lot.

The procurement is divided in two lots: Blue Lot and Green Lot.

UK 1 Pipeline Notice for the supply of commercial and domestic electricity to MOD sites in Northern Ireland.


The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), intends to procure the supply of electricity services for MOD establishments located in Northern Ireland (NI).

Electricity is essential for sustaining daily operations across the MOD Estate, and continued supply is critical to maintaining full operational capability at all NI sites.
The requirement covers the secure, reliable, and compliant provision of electricity to MOD locations across Northern Ireland.

Continuity of supply is vital to ensure the ongoing operation of key facilities and infrastructure.
A loss of electricity supply to MOD NI sites would have significant operational consequences, including:
Rendering affected establishments inoperative where functional infrastructure relies on electricity.
Creating potential health and safety risks for MOD personnel.
The Authority therefore seeks a supplier capable of delivering dependable electricity services across the NI Estate to ensure operational continuity.

Description

Lancashire Renewables Limited (LRL) was established for the operation and management of two central waste treatment facilities.

LRL's key objectives are to receive, treat and transport contract waste in accordance with the targets and service requirements set out in the Service Level Agreement between the company and its majority shareholder, Lancashire County Council.
Each of LRL's two waste treatment facilities is designed to process and handle various municipal waste types arranged and supplied by Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council.

From April 2026, this means that source separated food waste from Lancashire's Households will be transported for processing into LRL's site based at Farington, Leyland (PR26 6TB).
Until 2014, LRL had an anaerobic digestion (AD) process in operation.

The inputs came from residual 'black bin' household waste with organics separated via rotating trommels and metal separation.

Waste was then fed into pre-treatment technologies before the organic soup produced was fed into the anaerobic digestion process.

Gas produced from the process was pre-treated to remove hydrogen sulphide and other undesirable compounds before being fed into a gas storage vessel prior to use by the power generation infrastructure.

The biomethane supplied two MWM TCG 2020K V12 engines with fuel to generate electricity which was then used on-site rather than exported into the grid.
The historical AD pre-treatment process was inefficient and expensive to run.

As a result, the process ceased to operate in 2014 and the associated areas were put in a state of preservation and mothballed.

It is estimated that the gas engines were only used for approximately 10000 hours prior to being decommissioned, having being installed circa 2010.
As household source-separated food waste collections in England are mandatory from April 2026, LRL is looking to recommence a new AD process at its site based at:
Lancashire Renewables Limited
Farington Waste Recovery Park
Sustainability Way
Leyland
PR26 6TB
To facilitate this, 2 no.

gas engines / gensets are required to be brought back into operational service at LRL's Leyland site.

Therefore, the contract will include offsite initial refurbishment, delivery back to site, installation and testing, followed by ongoing service and maintenance.

It is likely that the initial refurbishment and install back on site of the two gensets must be completed by 31/03/2026.
It is possible that the same works may be undertaken, and hence the contract could require an additional 2 no.

gas engines / gensets of the same manufacturer and model at LRL's Thornton facility.

The contract will include provision for this, although it is to be decided at a later date whether this will be exercised.

Description

The Food Standards Agency is looking to appoint 1 supplier to deliver a systematic literature review project on ’Bioavailability of Food Supplements’ on a contracted basis from June 2026 until March 2028.


Consumer use of food supplements has increased in recent years, accompanied by a growing trend for manufacturers to market novel formulations that claim enhanced oral bioavailability compared to conventional forms.

These formulations include lipid-based systems such as liposomes, micelles, emulsions, and nanoparticles, as well as non-lipid approaches like particle size reduction through micronisation and co-formulation with polysaccharides.

Although these products are often promoted as improving absorption, the supporting evidence remains limited and uncertain.

This uncertainty is further increased by the vast variety of formulation types and the lack of data characterising their physicochemical properties.

Consequently, the potential impact of these formulations on bioavailability and on toxicological risk, remains unclear and may pose concerns, particularly for under‑characterised active ingredients and vulnerable populations.
The Chemical Risk Assessment Unit (CRAU), through its risk assessments and engagement with other regulators, has identified emerging risks from food supplements intake and has sought advice from the Committee on Toxicity (COT) on several actives.

The lack of information on how different formulations influence the toxicological profile of active substances remains a significant data gap in the risk assessment of food supplements.

Addressing this gap is critical for ensuring robust risk assessments and informed policy decisions.
In their recent report on novel formulations designed to increase food supplement bioavailability, the COT recommended that novel formulations and their active agents should be assessed for toxicokinetics on a case by case basis, using model systems that account for species differences in metabolism (COT, 2025).

The COT emphasised that the feeding state (fed versus fasted) is a key determinant of bioavailability and must be critically considered when comparing across formulations.

Furthermore, the suitability of acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and other health based guidance values (HBGVs) for unformulated food supplements should always be reviewed when applied to formulations designed to increase bioavailability, and approaches for relating HBGVs to differences in bioavailability should be assessed and applied on a case by case basis (COT, 2025).
The work proposed in the specification contributes to the FSA Corporate Priority EG1 – Risk Analysis informed by evidence and aligns with FSA Areas of Research Interest on novel approach methods to assess chemical hazards and impact on consumers.
