ALIenergy currently has funding from ERDF Interreg (Atlantic Area) for the GeoAtlantic project (http://geoatlantic.eu/?lang=en ), which seeks to encourage the development of geothermal and ground/water source energy in the Atlantic Area - https://www.atlanticarea.eu/page/2
 As part of this project ALIenergy is working with Scottish Canals to investigate the potential for ground or water source heating systems across part of their estate.
 This PIN is to provide prior notification and invite responses of interest (with no obligation) for a forthcoming tendering exercise expected in early 2020 for feasibility and design work, including estimated costings and financial projections, for ground or water source heat pump systems for use in buildings owned by Scottish Canals, many of which are situated adjacent to canal waterways.
 Initially the focus is on three specific locations: Glasgow, Bowling near Dumbarton and Ardrishaig.
 The study will also include a detailed overview of the potential for ground or water source heating systems across all Scottish Canals buildings within the defined Atlantic Area of Scotland covered by this funding (https://www.atlanticarea.eu/page/2), with a view to potentially extending or replicating the results to Scottish Canals buildings across the rest of Scotland at a later date.
 Scottish Canals has more than 100 properties in the Interreg Atlantic area including toilet and shower facility buildings for canal customers, offices, retail units, cafes, community facilities, visitor centres, residential buildings and workshops.. At this stage we are looking for expressions of interest in this opportunity by 10/1/2020.

The activities of Scottish Canals are diverse, and contribute to several National Outcomes and Indicators. The common factor is that they are all based on maximising the public value that the Scottish people derive from their canal system, including contributions to inclusive regeneration, business development, employment creation, sustainable transport, carbon reduction, sustainable water management, recreation and health.

 The Tay Cities Deal agreed by UK and Scottish governments recognises that the provision of world class digital infrastructure is essential to the development of a thriving and prosperous economy and society with the Deal area. Some amounts of funding were allocated to support fibre deployment as part of the Heads of Terms Agreement signed in November 2018.

Over the course of the young person education, there will be child’s planning meetings held which will address the young person’s future needs and outcomes that are to be met. These meetings will include the young person, the teacher, families and relevant professionals.
 In 2017, The Scottish Transitions Forum produced a document called ‘Good transitions 3’.
 The Principles of Good Transition are:
 - Planning and decision making should be carried out in a person-centred way
 - Support should be co-ordinated across all services
 - Planning should start early and continue up to age 25
 - All young people should get the support they need
 - Young people, parents and carers must have access to the information they need
 - Families and carers need support
 - A continued focus on transitions across Scotland
 To build on this strategy, the City of Edinburgh Council proposes to adopt the following five principles as an improvement plan:
 - A single point of contact
 - Starting Transitions work earlier
 - Provide information to young people and families
 - Provide improved accommodation options
 - Ensure improved communication approaches
 and is seeking to create an open framework agreement to enable this to be taken forward.
 Therefore the City of Edinburgh is looking to commission services which support:
 - Young people to remain at home by offering day support or day and night time support
 - Young people to live independently, either with or without accommodation. Note: by submitting your interest you are agreeing to further engagement with the Council. The Council may decide to competitively tender this contract in the future. If authorised, this service may be awarded as a 4-year framework commencing 1st September 2020 to 30th August 2024.
