We require a supplier to update the existing guidance (see Appendix 1), develop a number of case studies and work with our partners to plan and deliver learning materials and events for the sector. In this context, a new information and support resource about community libraries in both urban and rural locations, is required which will: • support local authorities who are reviewing delivery of their library services or thinking about new ways of involving and working with their communities • facilitate the effective, sustainable transfer of library assets and services into community ownership and management where appropriate. This resource must: • give an impartial and objective overview of the current landscape of community managed or community supported provision • offer guiding principles based on evidence • give practical and concrete examples to support decision making • align with other community asset transfer work currently ongoing A key element of this project is designing a dissemination strategy for the resource which clearly supports action and practical decision making within local authorities and the library sector.

title: For the Provision of Training of UKTI Midsized Business International Trade Advisors

description: UK Trade and Investment (UKT I) are appointing specialist Mid Sized Businesses (MSB) International Trade Advisers (ITAs) in all the English Regions to work with MSBs to maximise their potential in export markets. One facet of the MSB ITAs work with the companies will be to establish what is the best route to market for individual MSBs. For some the preferred route will remain Direct Export of products or services but the size and complexity of the businesses concerned mean that many more will be looking at different routes to market like Joint Ventures, Partnering, Manufacturing under Licence (MUL), Merger/Acquisition, Outward Investment, Off shoring etc. The MSB ITAs will need to be proficient in their understanding of the different routes to market and how to evaluate the options for individual MSBs. UKTI’s objective is to up skill and equip MSB ITAs with the relevant training and support tools to improve their understanding of the alternative routes to international markets and develop their competence to deliver a more strategic impact and value to MSB clients. To support this UKTI work we intend to provide a 3 part package to assist them. The budget for this requirement is 100-130K over the 3 years duration. The package consists of: 1. Training in understanding and evaluating the various different routes to market available. 2. Providing a series of information packs, guides and business templates (e.g. draft Joint Venture agreements) to support MSB ITAs in their work. 3. Developing a directory of sources of information and private sector providers that MSB ITAs can draw on/refer to which will be hosted on UKTI’s extranet Connect.

description: Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Assessment Service is a Call off contract from the recently awarded Health and Disability Servces (HDS) Framework. NB: ONLY SUCCESSFUL HDS FRAMEWORK SUPPLIERS ARE INVITED TO TENDER FOR PIP DELIVERY. The Authority is seeking to establish a call-off contract from the Health and Disability Assessment Services Framework Agreement. The call-off contract is for the provision of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Assessment Provider (AP) Services. The PIP contract is to be for a period of 5 years with an option to extend for up to a further 2 years (in one year periods), unless terminated by the Authority in accordance with the terms of the PIP Call Off contract. The Authority intends to award one contract per Lot. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) (www.dwp.gov.uk) and Department for Social Development in Northern Ireland (www.dsdni.gov.uk) administer a range of benefits and allowances for people who are unable to work or who need help due to sickness or disability. Through the Consultation paper Disability Living Allowance (DLA) reform in December 2010 and the Welfare Reform Bill, introduced in February 2011 the Government published its intention to replace DLA for people of working age with the introduction of a new benefit for disabled people. The new benefit “Personal Independence Payment” (PIP) will be introduced for working age claimants (16 – 64) from April 2013. PIP is intended to be easier to understand, more efficient and to support disabled people who face the greatest challenges to remaining independent and leading full and active lives. Claimants in receipt of PIP when they turn 65 may continue to receive the benefit past the age of 65, for as long as their mobility and daily living needs continue to be in line with the eligibility criteria. New PIP claims will commence from April 2013. All existing working age DLA Claimants will be invited to be re-assessed for PIP by April 2016. The objective and consistent assessment of the impact of disability on Claimants is central to the service requirement for PIP. This will take account of the full range of disabilities, including physical, sensory, mental, intellectual and cognitive impairments, and treat people as individuals, not applying blanket rules based on disability type. The assessment will consider a Claimant’s ability to carry out specified key everyday activities. Consideration will be given to whether Claimants need to use aids or appliances to carry out activities and whether they need support from another person to do so. Suppliers will need to study the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Assessment Services requirement document carefully in order to fully understand the Authority’s requirements for the PIP Assessment service. This document forms part of the PIP ItT suite of documentation and will be available via the BravoSolution website from 2 May 2012 for successful Suppliers to the HDS Framework ONLY.

title: Consumer Research and Collaborative Process to Inform and Embed Standards of Conduct

description:
Ofgem is the regulator of Britain’s gas and electricity markets. Our principal objective is to protect the interests of current and future energy consumers. As part of our continuing Retail Market Review, we intend to undertake research to ensure Ofgem’s draft Standards of Conduct are fit for purpose. To inform this work were are interested to better understand consumers’ priority concerns; and to enable energy suppliers to understand the ‘spirit’ of the Standards of Conduct from a consumer perspective. Our draft standards of conduct use existing voluntary SOCs as a foundation, but also draw on our own consumer research, interactions with key stakeholders and through our own intelligence into the market.

 We envisage this project will to involve two distinct stages: (1) qualitative consumer research to understand first-hand consumers’ views, experiences and expectations of their energy suppliers, followed by (2) collaborative engagement/deliberation event(s) involving both consumers and industry stakeholders, including supplier representatives. This second stage is intended to develop a better understanding of how Standards of Conduct may be applied across suppliers’ interactions with energy customers.

 The invitation to tender will be published on myTenders on the 26th or 27th June. We are issuing this advance notice in recognition of the fact that the timescales for the tendering process are challenging – this is necessary due to the overall timescales attached to this and the wider Retail Market Review work stream.

title: Evaluate the introduction of a Conciliation Support Team for the Pre-claim conciliation service

description: The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) wishes to commission an independent contractor to carry out an evaluation of a pilot that introduces an Early Conciliation Support Team (ECST) for the Pre-claim conciliation service. Following the recent Resolving Workplace Disputes consultation and government response , from April 2014, it is proposed that employees intending to lodge an Employment Tribunal (ET) claim will first have to contact Acas to see if the dispute could be resolved through Early Conciliation (EC). Early Conciliation has evolved from the success of the Acas Pre-Claim Conciliation (PCC) Service, which was rolled out in April 2009, and offered mainly to callers to the Acas Helpline, who refer appropriate callers to conciliators who offer them the opportunity to try to resolve their issues before the submission of an ET claim. In EC, it is proposed that all potential Employment Tribunal claimants will be offered conciliation before submission of an ET claim. In EC, there will be no helpline ‘filter’ as is the case with PCC, so Acas is considering the establishment of a centralised team of EC Support officers (ECSOs) for the new service. ECSOs would make initial contact with the claimant and gather information to pass on to the conciliators. Their input may speed the start of the conciliation process and allow more efficient use of conciliators’ time. However, Acas needs to experiment with this approach to see whether or not this is the case. We seek detailed proposals from contractors with an interest in this area of work and who will work closely with Acas’ Research and Evaluation Section (RES).
