title: Research Opportunity: Nutrition in Early Years

description: Good nutrition is essential during early childhood, as it is a time for development and growth, and can have a positive impact on a child’s long term health. Eating habits and patterns are being developed, and early years settings have an opportunity to provide good nutrition, and influence food experience and choices. More than 90% of children attend early years settings before school, so there is also the potential to reduce health inequalities through reaching children across social backgrounds. There is little UK-based evidence. Primary research is required to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions in early years settings to improve nutrition.

title: Derivative / Financial Instrument Benchmarking Advisor

description:
Ofgem, in collaboration with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), has established a new regulatory regime for offshore transmission networks. The regime will ensure that new offshore renewable generation projects are connected to the GB electricity grid economically and efficiently.

 A key part of the regime is the grant of Offshore Transmission Licences on the basis of a competitive Tender Process. Ofgem is responsible for managing this process.

 Delivering tenders for Offshore Transmission is a statutory duty of Ofgem. As we approach financial close and finalise the granting of an Offshore Transmission Licence for a project the Authority has a duty to ensure best value for consumers as well as to create transparency around the process of pricing complex financial instruments including but not limited to interest and inflation derivatives.

 Ofgem require the services of a benchmarking adviser to ensure that the most competitive pricing of any financial instrument is achieved at financial close and a clear and transparent process is followed in arriving at this pricing for the transitional round two OFTO projects.

description: The Centre for Public Health Excellence (CPHE) at NICE is undertaking a partial update of its public health guidance 2 (2006) ‘Four commonly used methods to increase physical activity’. Following a review of the guidance in 2009, NICE decided to update the ‘brief advice in primary care’ recommendations .

This guidance is due to be published in April 2013. The first phase of this guidance, the scoping phase, has already begun. The draft scope will be published on the NICE website for consultation on 4th November 2011. NICE would like to commission 2 pieces of work: 1) A review of evidence - to cover effectiveness and other research and evidence to inform barriers and facilitators to implementation (for example, qualitative or survey data about views). 2) A full economic analysis - to cover a review of the cost effectiveness evidence and an economic modelling exercise (to include an executable economic model) to inform the development of the guidance. The draft scope will outline the proposed parameters for the guidance and hence the focus of the review and economic analysis.

title: DFID 6076 – Supplier for the Global Poverty Action Fund pilot for design, implementation and monitoring of the Beneficiary Feedback Mechanisms

description: Supplier to design and manage a pilot to test three different approaches to gathering and using feedback from intended and unintended beneficiaries for improved impact in GPAF projects. The theory of change is that beneficiary feedback will lead to greater accountability between recipients, donors and implementers, which leads to better decision-making and development results. Each approach will test a feedback mechanism that requires a different level (of greater or lesser intensity) of resources to design, manage and implement. These are: 1) A low resource new technology model that will allow beneficiaries, groups representing beneficiaries or interested parties to provide unsolicited SMS feedback. 2) A medium resource, pre-determined social research approach. 3) A higher resource model, where the method of collecting feedback is determined by a strong context analysis. The supplier will assess the value for money of each mechanism, including but not limited to how much information is generated, whose voices are captured, how easy is it to translate the information in to practical action and at what cost. This information will help guide future decisions on BFM use within DFID. The ‘Detailed Requirements’ below gives more information on each approach.


title: Tender for the Provision of Advocacy Services

description: The purpose of advocacy services is to give a voice to those that need support in being heard. This support can come in a variety of formats including informal advocacy, group advocacy, self advocacy, professional advocacy and non-instructed advocacy. Some tasks undertaken by advocates include; attending meetings, writing letters, research, signposting and speaking on behalf of an individual. In addition to achieving positive outcomes for service users of all ages within the community of Southend, this contract will look to advocates to develop positive, empowering relationships with individuals who may previously have had bad experiences of services and service providers. Empowerment is a cornerstone on which this contract is to be built around. The Advocacy service provisioned by the Council must not be about creating dependency, but rather the empowering of individuals. A key goal of the contract is to supply individuals with the confidence and belief to undertake aspects of their own advocacy. Although it is acknowledged this will not be achievable in all cases, where possible, individuals must be provided the tools and knowledge to assist them to self advocate. Consequently, this will decrease their reliance on advocacy support and an increase in their sense of independence. This Procurement seeks to put in place a contract to meet the majority of Advocacy needs offered on behalf of the Council Directorates of ; • Adult and Community Services • Children and Learning Due to the wide range of age groups and the specialised requirements within the Borough, the contract is made up of 4 Lots. The possibility does exist that each lot will be awarded to separate organisations. However, if one Organisation is able to demonstrate that they are able to provide the Advocacy services across a number of lots; the Council will not prohibit bidding for multiple lots in relation to this contract. In addition, the Council will also welcome consortia bids should Organisations wish to work together in the provisioning of the required Advocacy services. The Lots are as follows; • Lot 1; Advocacy For Adults With Mental Health Issues (Inclusive of Mental Health, IMHA, IMCA & IMCA DOLS) Estimated Value; £100K (per annum) (Possible Addition of Advocacy for Aspergers £5k (per annum)) • Lot 2; Advocacy for Adults with Learning Disabilities (including the provision of SHIELDS (Learning Disability Self Advocacy)) Estimated Value; £50K (per annum) (Possible Addition of Advocacy for Aspergers £5k (per annum)) (The Council reserves the right to award the advocacy services for Aspergers, as part of the contract under either Lot 1 or Lot 2. The awarding of this service to a single lot winner will be dependent on that Organisation passing the PQQ stage and then proving to be best overall value for the Council at Tender Stage.) • Lot 3; PSI Advocacy for Adults Estimated Value; £5k (per annum) • Lot 4; Advocacy For Children & Young People (Including but not limited Advocacy services for Children in Care, Children with learning or physical disabilities and the provision of the Independent Visitor Service); Estimated Value; £50K (per annum) It is planned by Adult and Community Services that the Advocacy provision across Lots 1-3 will be extended to the Carers of those individuals who fall within particular Categories. However, it is forecast that this will create a minimum of work. Other proposed improvements to Advocacy include but are not limited to Online Referrals, centralisation of Advocacy requirements for Adult and Community Services, regular consistent reports across all advocacy categories. The deadline for the Expressions of Interest: Tuesday 6th of November 2012.

title: GB-Southampton: Agile toolkit fof GIS

description: Ordnance Survey, the national mapping agency of Great Britain, is responsible for maintaining the national mapping archive. We are widely regarded as the world leader in our field, and are responsible for the surveying, production, maintenance and marketing of a wide range of digital and graphic map based products and other geographical information for business, leisure, education and administrative use. We are a non-ministerial government department and Executive Agency responsible to the Secretary of State at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). Our head office is in Southampton, where staff are employed in various disciplines such as cartography, reprographic, sales and marketing and general administration. Surveying and support staff are based throughout Great Britain, working from a network of regional offices. In order to add value by making location specific information available that addresses specific B2B requirements, Ordnance Survey must understand the B2B user’s perspectives. Ordnance Survey recognise that these markets are fast moving and regard the use of Agile methodologies as an appropriate method for understanding user requirements and developing solutions. To accelerate the evolution/integration of location specific information in commercial markets and enterprise systems we need to develop a low cost approach that enables customers to assess their own requirements. We need to enable businesses to assess their own requirements for location specific information and then to be able to reach out into the Geographic Information Systems’ domain for support/advice. We would like to develop an 'Agile toolkit' that helps businesses to analyse their own business processes and identify opportunities to improve, make efficiencies or grow revenue by leveraging location specific information. The toolkit will also facilitate prototyping of potential solutions. We envisage that the toolkit will comprise 1) a white paper, 2) an agile business process analysis methodology, 3) supporting video footage and creative visuals.
