title: Water Resources Management Plan 2:Estimates of non-household demand for water

description: Non-household demand will use up to a quarter of all the water that enters a water company distribution network. We want to understand the general profile of non-household demand that may cause a change to water company planning. We therefore need to develop our own non-household demand profiles that we can use to scrutinise demand forecasts by water companies. While we understand there will be differences between the figures we produce and those quoted by water companies, it will allow us to enter dialogue and ensure water companies are not over or under planning their systems. Over or under planning could cause substantial environmental and economic damage.

title: EForms Development

description: Forest Services is the part of Forestry Commission England (FCE) working to put in place the conditions that enable landowners and managers, businesses, civil organisations, and local communities to protect, improve and expand the entire woodland resource in England. We provide a service based on evidence based standards, expert advice, communications, partnerships and grants and by regulating forestry. One aspect of our work is the administration of Grants and Regulations. In the main this relates to management of Grants as part of the EWGS (English Woodland Grant Scheme) and Regulations of woodland including administration of felling licences. An important part of future plans is to improve customer service and operational efficiency. Following a number of recent engagements with stakeholders there is a requirement to provide electronic access to many of our paper based forms to enable them to be completed, saved, changed and emailed to stakeholders such as land agents, land owners and eventually to and from Forestry Commission staff. This Statement of Requirements describes the high level requirements for the provision of a new eForms based solution and delivery of an initial set of eForms for key business forms. It invites potential suppliers to propose a suitable solution and provide a quotation for this work. The Forestry Commission requires an initial set of eForms (described below as Phase 1) to be available for public use from 1st April 2012. Overview of Current Situation Forest Services currently engages with its customers in the following major areas; • EWGS system (GLOS) through which applications for grants are submitted, amendments are made and claims submitted. Application forms are available from the Document Library at http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/forestry.nsf/byunique/infd-6m7lev • Felling Licences. Applications made and approved for felling are available on the Felling Licence Application page at http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/forestry.nsf/byunique/infd-6kxfs6 • Information Requests. FCE currently provides a significant amount of information to agents, landowners and the public through its public facing websites. This information is available on the public facing Grants and Regulations Page at http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/infd-6dfk2u For EWGS, the majority of transactions with customers are paper based. There are 7 main application forms for grants including a general details form and 6 grant specific forms. These are supported by guidance forms that are provided on-line (pdf), and by score forms and Woodland Improvement Grant (WIG) calculators to support the process. In addition, an Amendment form is provided to enable customers to notify FCE of changes, and a Claim Form. For Felling Licences, the website provides a full set of PDF based guidance forms, and an Application Form. All application forms are currently provided in pdf format, are downloaded by our customers hand written and returned for processing by one of our 8 Regional teams. FCE uses GLOS as its key business application for processing and managing grants. This is a case based bespoke Oracle/Java based system providing access to all admin staff and woodland officers to manage grant schemes. Data from the paper based forms received is manually entered into GLOS. For Felling Licences, a separate Oracle Apex system (FLDB) and again, applications received on paper forms are keyed into to FLDB. Over recent years FCE has carefully considered the need and benefits in providing customers with facilities to engage with us and transact through eBusiness. To meet this requirement our EWGS System (GLOS) has been developed with an eBusiness module allowing external users to register and use the system to make Grant Applications. This facility tends to be used by our main agents who process higher numbers of applications. GLOS eBusiness is available to customers who choose to register through the eforestry website at http://portal.eforestry.gov.uk/portal/page?_pageid=33,496464&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL. Whilst the use of the eBusiness solution will continue to be encouraged, it is considered that a simple eForm solution is important to provide our customers, especially those less familiar with the Grant Application process, with a more flexible and easy to use method particularly at the early stage of their application. As part of our Spending Review Programme it is planned that our existing 8 Regional Teams with administration distributed across 17 offices will be streamlined into 5 Areas each with a single Administration Hub. It is felt that a move towards electronic forms will help underpin the new ways of working required internally. Required Forms The FCE business requirement is to provide its key forms to customers so that they may complete them and return them in an electronic format. This requirement has been expressed by our Applicants Focus Group and became a recommendation of the recent Task Force Review of regulations. The scope covers the provision of the following functional areas: • A facility to enable our customers (woodland owners, land agents and citizens) to download electronic forms from links on its www.forestry.gov.uk website. • The facility for a customer to be able to complete the form(s), save it and amend it as necessary and email it to other external recipients then submit it to FCE for review and processing. Phase 1 FCE has a number of key business forms that it wishes to provide electronically. There are a number of key forms required as ‘must haves’ in Phase 1 to be ready for external use by 1st April 2012 as follows: • EWGS 1 – General Details • EWGS 2 – Woodland Planning Grant (WPG) • EWGS 3 – Woodland Assessment Grant (WAG) • EWGS 4 – Felling Permissions and Woodland Regeneration Grant (WRG) • EWGS 5 – Woodland Improvement Grant (WIG) • EWGS 6 – Woodland Management Grant (WMG) • EWGS 7 – Woodland Creation Grant (WCG) EWGS 8 – Claim Form (including Woodfuel WIG claim form) • EWGS 9 – Amendment Form • Felling Licence Application (FLA) FCE require suppliers to provide a firm proposal for the establishment of a solution and services to deliver these forms. Phase 2 onwards Further phases of forms may be included. A 2nd Phase of forms may be required and may include the following range of forms: • WIG Cost Calculator (including Woodfuel WIG) • Map Request Form • Upload Work Areas Spreadsheet • Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) • Other associated EIA forms • Change of Ownership Form • Agent Authority Form • Transfer of Obligations • Regional Score Forms These forms are also available within the Document Library on the website. FCE does not require a detailed proposal for Phase 2 forms at this time as it may seek to achieve this through a self sufficiency approach. Suppliers are asked though to indicate their recommended approach for further forms and provide a day rate for further services should that be required. Amendment of Forms Each eForm may be subject to change from time to time. Proposed solutions should therefore provide the facility for both FCE staff to change the forms themselves or for the changes to be requested via an on-going support service. It is likely that FCE will prefer to become self sufficient so proposals should indicate how this self sufficiency will be achieved and indicate the type of skills required and any costs associated with training. If a hosted service is proposed, then the charging mechanism for changes should be described. Other Requirements FCE require professional business level eForms that are: • easy to use • require little or no support and maintenance • can be designed to take account of evolving government standards in respect to colours, font size, logos and branding • are able to work with a wide range of customer browsers (such as IE various versions, Google Chrome, Firefox etc) Suppliers should indicate the particular features of their proposal in respect to the above and draw out other features that may be relevant to eForms from a Government organisation. Suppliers should indicate any particular details about the technical environment that the proposed solution will run on. Some forms may benefit from a ‘submit’ type facility to be embedded in the form itself. Suppliers could highlight features of their solution that may support this requirement. FCE may require an electronic signature on some forms. It would be helpful for suppliers to describe their approach and experience in this area. FCE operates within the government secure network community and its internal network operates within the GSI. Whilst it is envisaged that forms will need to be completed and circulated outside of this environment, suppliers should highlight any potential advantages or risks of their solution in this context and any particular experience working in this area. FCE operates in a Windows based server environment with a Microsoft based desktop. IS Services are provided by an In-house team. In this area some key line of business applications use oracle and java software. Project Implementation and Contract Management FCE recognise that from a technical perspective this is a relatively small project with a well defined scope. An important aspect of the project is that Phase 1 forms are available for public use by 1st April 2012. It is envisaged that testing and acceptance will occur prior to 31st March 2012. FCE anticipate a pragmatic and appropriate approach to project management and would expect to see aspects such as risks, issues and changes managed through clearly defined roles and responsibilities. Proposals should include details of the suppliers approach and, as necessary, the costs associated with Project Management of Phase 1 FCE will provide Project Management resource to manage the internal roll out and communications including links to the existing web site. Ongoing Support and Contract Management Following the initial delivery of Phase 1 Forms, FCE will require adequate support to help them resolve any post go-live issues that may arise. Suppliers should indicate their approach to supporting FCE post delivery and beyond. It is envisaged that FCE will provide required support to the end users in respect to use of the forms. Where the proposal comprises of any form of hosted services, suppliers should describe their approach to service management and level of support that may be available as part of their proposal. Volumes As a guideline, FCE estimates that it currently receives: • 2500 EWGS Applications per year. • 2000 Felling Licence Applications per year. Solution Options and Information FCE is open to receive proposals for a range of solutions. In initial investigations we have observed a range of solutions all of which may be appropriate and could deliver our business requirements. These include: • Electronically completed PDF forms • Web based forms • Hosted forms solutions FCE intend, at this stage to preserve the existing branding and form design but is not averse to suggestions that may combine groups of similar forms to make the customer experience more straightforward. It is anticipated that forms provided will be accessible from the Forestry Commissions existing public facing website. Any work associated with updating the website and adding new links will be provided internally. Whilst it is important that we provide the initial set of eForms for our customers by 1st April 2012, FCE also recognise that some future potential may arise from extracting data from the forms and loading it in to our GLOS system. FCE would like suppliers to comment on the potential of their proposals to provide data that could be subsequently loaded into back office systems. Information regarding the formats and methods available for this would be welcome. Note: If we ask, you must provide documentary evidence establishing your eligibility to tender and your qualifications to fulfil the contract if we accept your quotation. This may be in the form of literature, drawings or samples. You must include details of any areas where you will not be able to comply with these requirements. If your quotation does not meet these requirements we reserve the right to reject it completely.

title: Promoting and supporting the needs of offenders with learning difficulties and disabilities

description: The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) currently provides a grants programme for voluntary sector organisations working to reduce re-offending. We are now inviting the voluntary sector to submit Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for a new funding opportunity which aims to support and promote the needs of offenders with learning disabilities and learning difficulties. The project will be outcome based, with a particular focus on upskilling the organisation in terms of staff knowledge and ongoing service provision. NOMS is committed to improving provision for offenders with learning disabilities and difficulties, both in prison and probation. This is reflected in the NOMS equality objectives, which include the following: Disability: Prisoners with Learning Disabilities • Ensure comprehensive screening is in place so that all prisoners with learning disabilities are identified; • Ensure that reasonable adjustments are made for all prisoners with learning disabilities. This will be a national project with local engagement as and where appropriate. The successful organisation will be expected to work within the parameters of the service to develop innovative and lasting approaches in this area, which are provider neutral. Funding of £450,000 is potentially available. Scope, Timescale and Funding Grant funding of up to £450,000 is available, made up of the following amounts: • £150,000 in the period up to 31 March 2013; and • £300,000 in the period 1 April 2013 – 31 March 2014. NOMS are willing to consider bids to undertake activity in either years, or both. VCSE organisations are invited to bid for any sum up to the full amount. NOMS may decide to award just one grant, or a number of them. NOMS are keen to support smaller projects where they will add value, but because of our limited resources for managing grants NOMS will not be able to work with more than three organisations at any one time. In the light of the amount of funding which is available in this business year, NOMS are particularly interested in proposals for: • projects that can be delivered by 31 March 2013; and/or • two-phase projects, in which intensive first phase activity up to 31 March 2013 is used to work up in more detail the proposals for work in 2013-14.

description: As part of the implementation by HM Government of the Marine and Coastal Access Act, a network of conservation sites, intended to conserve or improve the UK marine environment, is being created in British seas. The network will comprise European Marine Sites, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Ramsar sites and Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs). Through Defra, four regional MCZ projects have produced recommendations for proposed sites for MCZs, and there is now a need to ensure that the supporting evidence base is sufficient for the purpose. Links to the final reports from these Regional Projects and background information on the MCZ process can be found at Defra’s website; http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/marine/protect/mpa/mcz/. In order to address this issue, Defra are, where appropriate, commissioning the collection of additional evidence, by means of marine surveys, from a number of pre-defined rMCZs, during the current financial year (FY2011/12). Cefas as an executive agency of Defra will act as R&D Programme Managers for this work. Cefas’ main responsibilities will be to co-ordinate the collection of scientifically robust and cost-effective evidence from within a selection of rMCZs during the remainder of FY2011/12 and to manage the delivery of the resulting survey / data outputs. The work will be undertaken via marine surveys and the programme will be conducted in close consultation with Defra, Natural England, JNCC and the Environment Agency. It is proposed that the survey programme, a mixture of acoustic and biological validation surveys, will be carried out during February and March 2012 by a range of service providers from both public and private sectors. Market capability has been assessed via the aforementioned EOI call and appropriate providers will be identified and selected via this Invitation to Tender.

title: GB-Portsmouth: Shock Mount Cost Reduction

description: Shock mounts are widely used in the Royal Navy’s ships and submarines. The preferred design is the X-type shock mount, made to MoD specifications described in shock manual BR3021 volume 2. The mount itself is cheap to buy. However the through-life cost is relatively high owing to the need to replace the mounts at regular intervals. The problem is the deterioration of the damping compound. The RN seeks to reduce or eliminate the cost of regular replacement. One approach would be to develop a new damping material which lasted longer (preferably for the life of the vessel). Another approach would be to develop a cheap and reliable testing method for in-situ shock mounts which would mean that mounts were replaced only when necessary. The Authority is seeking 2 research studies (1 on alternative mounts and 1 on failure testing), which propose solutions to the above identified issues. Further specific requirements will be detailed within the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document. Evaluation Criteria: The Authority is seeking the most cost effective price, ensuring best value for money on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) basis. Selection of a supplier will be based on the specific evaluation criteria, which will be fully detailed within the ITT document. The criteria will include weightings & the scoring rationale. Expressions of interest are sought from suppliers that feel they could address the problem. It is likely that such companies would have experience in materials science and would understand the shock environment on ships and submarines. In order to proceed with this requirement interested suppliers should submit an Expression of Interest (EOI), via email, to Chsmith@dstl.gov.uk, by no later than 17:00 Friday 7th September 2012 (the deadline). Dstl are not at liberty to accept any late responses. Please ensure you allow sufficient time for your response to reach Dstl.

title: Raising achievement in secondary schools in Somerset

description:
The Somerset Children’s and Young People’s Compact in its School Improvement Strategy has agreed that there should be a Raising Achievement Plan for each sector.

 The Somerset Secondary Raising Achievement Plan for 2012-13 has as key priorities:

 1. Raising Attainment and Achievement

 2. Narrowing the Gaps

 3. Teaching and Learning

 4. Leadership Development

 5. Targeted School to School Support

 We are seeking to commission key partners to support one or more of these priorities to improve outcomes for young people in Somerset and the Tender Response Template will set out the detailed specifications for the tender process and how to apply.

 This contract tender relates to the provision of Supporting the Raising Achievement Plan 2012 -2013 (RAP).

 Purpose of Invitation to Tender

 SCC is keen to provide the best quality services within the funding resources available. The tender exercise permits SCC to gather all relevant information from interested tenderers to analyse responses and ensure the contract is awarded to the provider best able to deliver the identified needs for Somerset.

 Scope of Contract

 The contract shall run for a period of 12 months from 26th November 2012 to 25th November 2013. Thereafter, the contract may be extended for a further period of up to 12 months, subject to the availability of continued funding, no changes to statutory responsibilities, and satisfactory performance of the Contract.

 Individual organisations may tender for all the projects described in this tender, or for individual projects. We require that you can fulfil all the requirements of the individual projects that you are bidding for. Part applications for some of the project tasks are not invited. Individual organisation may tender for projects or there can be joint bids by a number of organisations that may deliver different parts of the contract, but as one would provide the full service. However, the consortia/partnership must be a single legal entity. Your responses must enable SCC to assess the overall service proposal.

 Context

 Somerset covers 3,452 square kilometres and is home to roughly 10% of the South West’s population. The county is predominantly rural, with over half its population living in communities of less than 3,000 people. Somerset has a population of 525,186. There are estimated to be 110,184 children and young people (under 18) living in the county.

 Over 67,000 children and young people are educated in 274 state-funded schools and academies in Somerset. Year group cohorts are around 5,500. There are 37 secondary schools and academies in Somerset. Just over two thirds of secondary aged students are educated in academies.

 15.6% of children under 16 are estimated to be living in poverty and 1 in 8 pupils claim Free School Meals. 7.1% of the school population is classified as belonging to an ethnic group other than White British.

 There are over 500 children in care in Somerset, with numbers increasing in recent years. Roughly 300 children are subject to a Child Protection Plan.

 Raising Achievement Plan

 A joint Raising Achievement Plan was agreed between the Somerset Association of Secondary Headteachers (SASH), the Somerset Association of Leadership Teams (SALT) and the Local Authority. The successive RAPs have focused on three key priorities:

 - Raising attainment and achievement

 - Narrowing the gaps

 - Leadership development

 The vision set out in the Somerset Children and Young People’s Compact School Improvement Strategy states:

 ‘Our vision is for all children and young people in Somerset to have access to a high quality education which enables them to progress, improve their life chances and achieve their full potential giving them a sound basis for a successful and fulfilling life as active members of the community.’

 The following list sets out some key strategic priorities for the next phase of development:

 - Accelerating recent improvements so that the overall Somerset figures rise faster than the national picture rather than keeping pace

 - Narrowing gaps in outcomes between

 - Vulnerable groups and their peers

 - Reducing variation between schools and within schools

 - Securing good Ofsted judgements in all schools (the proportion with satisfactory or more than one satisfactory judgement is too high)

 - Improving the proportion of good / outstanding teaching and learning

 - Leadership develop to secure the above priorities including the next generation of leaders
