title: The Supply of Batteries, Factor Parts & Electrical Components

description: You have been invited to tender for The Supply of Factor Parts, Batteries & Electrical Components with Wolverhampton City Council Wolverhampton City Council seeks to appoint a single successful supplier for the supply of Batteries, Factored Vehicle Parts and Auto-electrical parts and components. However, the Council reserves the right to award to multiple suppliers should it see fit too. The Council’s Transport Services manages the Council’s vehicles fleet, and therefore have to maintain and repair these vehicles. They employ vehicle mechanics to carry out this work and keep a stock of vehicle parts to use on an ad hoc basis. They will need to purchase factored vehicle parts to be able to repair and maintain these vehicles out of warranty, although, manufacturers parts are also purchased from a separate contract. Suppliers must provide a collection service for scrap vehicle batteries. This will be provided Free of Charge (FOC) by the successful provider. (This will not be required for the Key Fob type batteries) This should be in the form of an appropriate crate or other container provided by the supplier to be located at Culwell Street and the contents to be collected on a regular basis, the number of batteries will be agreed with the stores staff and a collection note provided. The Council has a separate contract for the Manufacturing Vehicle Spares and Back-up Labour and it is the Councils intention to co-terminate both contracts then issue as one. The supplier will provide a quotation as part of this tender, a single set price for each battery collected irrespective of size or type (not including Key-Fob type batteries) and following reconciliation of collections the appropriate total value will be paid in the form of a cheque to the Council’s Transport Services on a quarterly basis. Suppliers should note that the Council holds a current Hazardous Waste Registration which will be available for viewing prior to any collection in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Regulations.

title: REASSESSMENT AND SUPPORT PLANNING CONTRACT – ADULT SERVICES

description: Cornwall Council's Adult Care, Health and Wellbeing directorate has a duty to carry out an assessment of need for community care services as defined in Section 47 of the Community Care Act and Eligibility Guidance 2010. The assessment collects information from the person, and if appropriate and with permissions their families/ carers and relevant health professionals. The aim of an assessment is to get a full picture of the things the individual can manage and the support you get from others, before deciding what they may need from the Adult Care, Health and Wellbeing directorate. Revised Eligibility Guidance (previously Fair Access to Care Services) identifies whether a person has ‘eligible needs’ for funded social care services. If Eligible Needs are within the laws relating to a duty on the Adult Care, Health and Wellbeing directorate to provide services, then they must be met. In the assessment / re-assessment the person and the assessor will decide/agree the individuals’ outcomes that they want to achieve and how they want to achieve them, and what kinds of support best fit their way of life. As part of Cornwall Council’s review of Domiciliary Care Services for residents in and across Cornwall, the Council is seeking to assess overall eligibility of current recipients of Domiciliary Care services: o To provide additional temporary resource capacity to undertake re-assessments / case reviews in order to support Cornwall Council in determining overall eligibility of need requirements. The key deliverable being reassessments being completed, plus where instructed support plans completed. o Through the work undertaken by the Supplier the objective will be to provide “surety / certain” at time of reassessment / case review around eligibility of individuals subject to the reviews for the forthcoming 12 months (not subject to any changes in needs following review recommendations) – liability for provision of Domiciliary care packages are appropriate and in line with the relevant legislative duties. In addition, the more subtle aims which would be key to overall successful delivery by the chosen supplier would include: o Cross pollination and cultural change within the internal team – recognising that current approaches and practices may not be the best way to things, and fresh ideas challenge ways of thinking, leading to positive changes and more efficient and effective ways of working. o Relationship building / partnering ethos developed between the Council and selected supplier.

title: Research Tender: Evaluation of the Direct Payments in Residential Care Pilots Programme

description: The Department of Health (DH) wishes to commission an evaluation of the government’s programme of piloting of the provision of direct payments in residential care in England. Direct payments applied in residential care settings could improve both the quality of user experience and the effectiveness of care by giving people greater choice and control over the services they receive. This will depend on striking the right balance between the interests of the individuals, the care home providers, and the local authorities in the pilot areas concerned. A two-year programme of piloting sponsored by DH, is expected to be launched in a number of sites across England from April 2013. The aim is to explore whether and how direct payments for people in residential care can give them and their families control over the resources available to pay for all or some of their care, and the possible wider impacts, with a view to informing Ministers’ consideration of potential wider roll-out. This invitation to tender sets out high level requirements and invites full applications by 1.00 p.m. on 19 March 2013, for a rigorous evaluation of the programme of piloting. On appointment, the successful evaluation team will be expected to work closely with DH, its partners and expert advisers, to refine details of the evaluation scope and focus, design and methods. The evaluation study will be conducted within a 36 month period commencing in August 2013, and the research contract will be funded up to a maximum sum of £900,000. Release of funding beyond a 24 month break point in the contract will be conditional on satisfactory assessment and peer review of a scoping and feasibility report, including refined proposals for evaluation of outcomes. This report will be required in May 2014.

title: RM2226 – SB225 Safety Helmet Assessment & Rating Programme (SHARP) – Helmet Performance Testing – Phase 2

description: Motorcyclists represent one of the most vulnerable road user groups in the UK with around 400 riders losing their lives each year on our roads. Of these, 80% receive strikes to the head and in 70% of these the head injury is the most serious injury. Collaborative research published in 2001 that was gained through original, collaborative scientific research revealed that better designs of safety helmets could deliver a real road safety benefit. This work estimated that an increase in helmet energy absorbing characteristics of 30% would reduce 50% of AIS 5-6 casualties to AIS 2-4. Further analysis showed that 20% of AIS 5-6 casualties could be reduced to AIS 2-4 if the energy absorbed by the helmet could be increased by 24% . The research concluded that these better helmets were feasible in the market place but despite this evidence, developments in motorcycle helmet technology remained largely static. Following a review of the standards and laboratory tests that revealed real differences in the safety performance of motorcycle helmets available in the market, the Department for Transport launched the Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Programme (SHARP) in 2007. This scheme provides consumers with an independent and objective assessment of the safety performance of helmets sold in the UK. To date SHARP has published ratings for 300 models of full face and flip front helmets and successfully provides the ratings to a large number of consumers. Whilst the majority of the SHARP programme is managed by the Department, the physical testing and storage of tested samples aspect of the programme is contracted to a specialist test laboratory. This work specification sets out the Department’s requirement for a test facility to perform the physical impact testing of motorcycle helmets and provide storage of helmets samples that have been tested. We expect the contract to run from September 2013 to August 2016. Whilst it is anticipated that this contract will run for 3 years, the Department will review the programme on an annual basis and a break point has been included 24 months after contract award.

title: GB-Sevenoaks: Broadband and Tuneable NQR and NMR for Detection of Bulk Energetic Materials

description: UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) is offering UK companies and academic institutions the opportunity to submit proposals that aim to build in-depth knowledge and understanding of broadband and tuneable Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) methods for the detection of bulk energetic materials. The overall objective is to utilise advances in magnetic resonance science and technology and assess the feasibility of exploitation as a primary or secondary sensor in an equipment capability. Scope Proposals submitted should aim to assess the technical and practical viability of broadband and tuneable magnetic resonance techniques. Proposals should outline the design of an experiment that will demonstrate the detection of multiple materials across a wide frequency range, for example, the NQR lines in ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrite. The plan should also consider experiments the following operating conditions: low (including Earth’s) field NMR, low power continuous wave and low power pulsed excitation. The aim of this work is to thoroughly understand the elements of tuneable and broadband NMR and NQR spectroscopy in relation to the detection of bulk energetic materials, ultimately to design and develop a practical sensor system. For context in relation to previous programmes, some of the earlier NQR work carried out at Dstl is described in two articles in Applied Magnetic Resonance, Vol. 25 (2004), Page 411-437 and Page 439-448. For more recent developments worldwide in this area prospective bidders are referred to Applied Magnetic Resonance, Vol. 43 (2012).

title: DFID 6136 - Child Development Grants: Cash Transfers Pilot in Northern Nigeria, 2013-2017

description: Sixty-four million of Nigeria’s extreme poor live in the north of Nigeria. They rely largely on agriculture and herding which are susceptible to climatic shocks and are providing diminishing returns.Poor households often only produce enough food to last one third of the year and rely on seasonal work and migration to earn the money to fill the gap. However, these opportunities coincide with the peak agricultural seasons when households also need to work on their own land. The necessary pursuit of short-term but essential cash to buy food thus prevents poor households from working enough on their own land to be self-sufficient. This perpetuates a cycle of under-production, a dependence on markets for additional food and vulnerability to food prices. According to the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2008, one in four Nigerian children is underweight, and 9% are severely so. Under-nutrition is most severe in northern Nigeria where a third of children under five are underweight, half are stunted, and a fifth are wasted .Malnutrition has complex inter-related causes related to food security, caring practices, and health services and health environment .In recognition of the need to address malnutrition in Northern Nigeria, DFID has launched a large-scale nutrition programme (complementing their existing health programme) that seeks to reduce the incidence and prevalence of under nutrition in children across five Northern states . This programme is expected to address key issues in health service provision related to nutrition, including the provision of emergency treatment for severe acute malnutrition; and also aims to improve infant and young child feeding practices.The programme does not, however, address issues related to food security and the inability to access services due to financial constraints. The Child Development Grants Programme (CGDP) will pilot a cash transfer programme that will focus on removing the food security and financial barriers to improving nutrition. By providing cash to poor women it is expected that the programme will enable them to buy more and better quality food and also to spend money on education and health. The project will provide a child development grant (CDG) of 3,500 Naira (£14) a month each to 60,000 women with children under the age of 2. The women will also be given nutritional education and advice. 420,000 people will benefit by having improved food security and diet, greater resilience to shocks and better nutrition. There is strong evidence from elsewhere that cash transfers have an impact on food security, but the evidence that they have an impact on nutrition is weaker. So the programme has been designed with an independent evaluation and research component to generate evidence of the impact of the programme on household food security, vulnerability and child nutrition. This will contribute to the longer-term objective of the approach being adopted and expanded by the government of Nigeria with support from other donors.


title: DCB: Business Catalyst Services

description: One of the main problems for the typical early-stage digital or creative SME that DCB helps is that it will contain very gifted creatives and / or developers, but will lack individuals with business skills and knowledge. This is set against DCB’s deeply-held belief that the basis of success for new digital and creative businesses comes through a ‘triangular base’ of creative / technological excellence, high level mentoring [where the mentor amongst other things becomes the ‘proto board’ for the early stage company], and day-to-day business acumen embedded within the business. It is also set against DCB’s Garages to Global approach [see above]. Therefore the Business Catalyst scheme seeks to solve this issue by embedding. The mechanic is simple: DCB will ‘insert’ good business people into a selected number of high-growth potential SMEs on a regular basis [part or full time depending on the individual SME’s need]. These business people would have excellent brains, real business talent, high motivation and the desire to work extremely hard to help develop the company they are working for. They will need to be able to self-start, pick up on business opportunities and run with them, and be able to develop meaningful and productive business systems quickly and effectively: they would, in short, become business catalysts for the SMEs they are in. Placed in the company for a period of time [initially three months, but extendable] the Business Catalyst is intended to make a significant difference to the business operations of the beneficiary SME. The exact difference will vary according to each company’s needs, but it should always result in the business having a significantly increased ability to grow. The intention is also that the Business Catalyst becomes an important part of the company, and ideally is retained by the company after the period of supported engagement ends. The system has been trialled for the past eighteen months, with excellent results: nearly all beneficiary SMEs reported advantages and benefits; over half of the Business Catalysts have either been retained by the beneficiary SME or found work at other companies; and in at least one case, the Business Catalyst has been retained, has a share option, is operating at board level, has been instrumental in driving the growth of the company significantly, and has helped the company win significant private-sector investment. With its new ERDF project, DCB wishes to build on this success

title: Techno-Economic Study of Industrial Carbon Capture for Storage and Capture for Utilisation

description: This contracting authority for this contract is both DECC and BIS. DECC is committed to gaining a deeper understanding of how industry can reduce its carbon emissions whilst achieving economic growth and remaining internationally competitive. Government analysis has identified that industrial carbon capture and storage (ICCS) is likely to be a key technology to deliver carbon abatement in energy intensive industries such as iron and steel, cement, chemicals and refining. Without CCS it may not be possible to substantially decarbonise these sectors. The 2013 publication ‘The Future of Heating: Meeting the Challenge’ committed DECC and BIS to undertake a techno-economic study to better understand industrial carbon capture technologies and costs. The study will help Government, the heat intensive industrial sectors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and academia to better understand the technical and economic barriers currently restricting the development of ICCS and to determine the next steps in supporting innovation in this field. Aims of the project: To develop better evidence on the costs and technologies for industrial carbon capture (for storage) or capture and utilisation to aid policymakers in determining what is needed to enable ICCS deployment in 2025. To develop better evidence on readiness and capabilities within energy intensive sectors for ICCS. To understand the technical and economic barriers currently restricting the development of ICCS. The research will be commissioned in October 2013 and conclude in March 2013. The final report will be published and inform future decision regarding further research in this area. Contractors should have a good understanding of the heat intensive industry sector which this contract will apply to, as well as the ability to understand and synthesise technical and economic evidence sources and findings, which together will provide DECC with a robust evidence base.

title: GB-Hertford: My Teen Brain

description: The teenage/pre teen years are often labelled as a particularly difficult time for both young people and their parents or carers. This is not helped by society’s portrayal of teens as difficult, moody and often prone to antisocial behaviour and excessive risk taking (including illicit substance consumption). However, research suggests that changes to the brain of adolescents affect their behaviour, abilities and emotions and that the tendency for adolescents to act on impulse and have higher or excessive risk taking is a natural stage of development that needs to be understood and sensitively managed by the adults around them. In order to help parents and carers, professionals and young people themselves through this period of transition, Childhood Support Services are looking to develop My Teen Brain (MTB). The aim of the project is to raise awareness and give support to stakeholders on how the changes to adolescent brains affect their emotional regulation, relationships, risk-taking behaviours, etc, in order to support healthy social and emotional wellbeing and pro-social behaviour in the adolescent years and beyond. To enable successful development of the My Teen Brain initiative we are looking to commission providers who have either been involved in similar initiatives or have expertise in the field of adolescent neurological development, parenting support and training.

title: 'Intrinsic' cultural impacts:international literature review

description: Under this tender Arts Council England (ACE) is looking for a supplier that provides to ACE an international literature review on ‘intrinsic’ cultural impacts. Introduction Arts Council England has recently published its refreshed strategic framework, Great Art and Culture for Everyone, which describes how we will achieve our vision for England. This refreshed strategy runs until 2020 and brings together our previous strategies for the arts and for museums and libraries. At the heart of this document are five inter-related strategic goals, which guide our activity and investment: 1. Excellence is thriving and celebrated in the arts, museums and libraries 2. Everyone has the opportunity to experience and to be inspired by the arts, museums and libraries 3. The arts, museums and libraries are resilient and environmentally sustainable 4. The leadership and workforce in the arts, museums and libraries are diverse and appropriately skilled 5. Every child and young person has the opportunity to experience the richness of the arts, museums and libraries. For each of these goals, we have set out what we believe success looks like (our success measures) which we will use to assess our impact against these goals, using new and existing sources of data and evidence. The full strategy and list of success measures can be found here: http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/browse-advice-and-guidance/great-art-and-culture-everyone. Of these five, goals one and two are on a different level, as they are a summation of our mission: great art and culture (goal 1) for everyone (goal 2); whilst the others are long-term priorities, or steps towards achieving our mission. This tender is most concerned with goal 1 (‘Excellence is thriving and celebrated in the arts, museums and libraries’). By ‘excellence’ in goal 1, we mean the excellence of the arts and cultural experiences themselves, not the supporting infrastructure.

title: Holywells Park Resoration Project

description: Site Information: Holywells Park is approximately 28 hectares (70 acre) in extent and located approximately one mile south-east of the town centre, immediately adjacent to industrial and residential dockland, the Wet Dock and historic waterfront. The Park has its own unique appeal which is very much community based. It offers recreational facilities including an equipped play area and bowling green, but the main focus is on the passive enjoyment of the Park’s scenery and biodiversity, particularly its complex network of ponds, open spaces and woodland. Within the curtilage are a Stable Block and Orangery, both of which are grade II listed, and a bowls pavilion. Holywells Park lies within a densely urban and predominantly residential area and is an important amenity for a large audience fulfilling a number of important functions including an area for formal and sporting activity and informal, passive recreation. The park is owned by Ipswich Borough Council and is the responsibility of the Parks and Open Spaces department. It is maintained by the Parks and Open Spaces department. The park contains 2 grade II listed buildings – the Stable Block and Orangery. Project background: The restoration of Holywells Park has received funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). This will be augmented by funds from Ipswich Borough Council. Summary of the works: 1. The Stable Block and Orangery will be restored and their public uses extended. 2. The existing leaf yard will be refurbished and its use as the maintenance centre for the park extended. 3. Ornamental gardens to the north of the Orangery will be improved including creating planting beds, laying lawns; installing stone paving; constructing walls, steps and ramps and restoring balustrading. 4. A paved performance area adjacent to the Orangery will be created. This will host a series of events throughout the year. 5. A new toilet and kiosk will be created to enhance the existing play facilities. 6. Improvements will be made to the footpath network to enhance accessibility. 7. The main entrances will be enhanced to improve accessibility and to create a more welcoming park. 8. A new iPlay facility will be introduced into the existing play area. This will encourage active participation and is suitable for all age and ability groups. In addition to the above some of the water bodies will be improved, mainly by de-silting them. This work will be carried out as a separate, concurrent contract.

title: GB-Bath: Aptamer Assay Development

description: The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) require an aptamer based assay to be developed for the detection of a target protein in plasma and whole blood. The assay will consist of a capture aptamer and reporter aptamer linked to a chromagenic reporter molecule. The aptamer sandwich assay will be able to differentiate between the phosphorylated form of the protein and the un- phosphorylated form of the protein in blood and plasma. Differentiation between the two protein forms is defined as a comparative binding contrast (i.e. comparison of assay response) of at least 1000 fold between the phosphorylated forms compared to the un-phosphorylated form of the same protein. Individual candidate aptamer binding will be compared using SPR biosensors to empirically determine the relative dissociation rates of candidate Aptamers (through comparison of aptamer dissociation from a CM5 biochip treated with phosphorylated and un-phosphorylated proteins 10 minutes post injection of the candidate aptamer).
