description: The Home Office Centre for Applied Science & Technology (CAST) is seeking to identify organisations which are able to critically review a CAST criteria document, and to write a full test protocol that would allow a system to demonstrate that it meets the document’s requirements. The Single Vehicle Architecture (SVA) Standard is part of the One Box project and is intended to encourage the development of police vehicles that can be used as mobile data hubs and easily support the addition of new technological features (such as ANPR). The principle is that, to make the most of police efficiencies, police vehicles need to include built-in systems to handle mobile data. There are also benefits through increasing the resale value of police vehicles and improving driver safety through reduced distraction. The document published by CAST outlines the requirements that a system must meet to be SVA accredited. However, it does not lay out the exact tests that must be carried out to fully demonstrate that the requirements have been met. The document is also currently long and complex and would benefit from simplification and critical peer review.

title: Wash Tide Gauge project Underwater Noise Assessment

description: The Environment Agency’s Wash Tide Gauge Project requires an underwater noise assessment to be undertaken with regard to marine mammal and fish auditory disturbance/damage which may be caused by piling. This assessment is a requirement of Natural England and will be part of the consenting process for the Marine Maritime Organisation (MMO license). The project proposes to drive a 2.2m diameter pile, approximately 35m in length into the seabed at a location approximately 4km from the port of Sutton Bridge in the Wash. The piling will be done with a IHC S500 hammer, the duration will be approximately 6 hours. A soft start vibro hammer technique will be used at the start of the piling. The following section explains the piling methodology: 1. Initially, the pile will be placed on the seabed using the piling gate and it is expected to sink about 1m. 2. A soft start vibration will be used, shaking the pile within the piling gate using a separate piece of kit for a short period, probably 2 – 4 hours. This allows the pile to make a start slowly, reaching approximately 5 to 6 meters into the seabed. This allows the surrounding seabed time to settle and doesn’t cause suction which is detrimental to the piling process. 3. Immediately following this period of “soft” vibration, the impact hammer (S500) will be implemented to the optimum level. The heavy piling will continue until the pile is driven in to the correct depth. This will take between 6 to 12 hours maximum. Once the piling is started it will not stop until completion.

description: The Green Deal (GD), which launched on 28th January this year, is the Government’s flagship energy efficiency policy. It enables private firms to offer consumers energy efficiency improvements to their homes and business premises, with GD finance available to cover some or all of the upfront costs. A Green Deal requires signed consent before improvements are installed and before the attachment of the GD charge to the electricity meter. In many cases this will require consent from only one individual (the owner-occupier). Consent requirements may be more complex in the rental and leasehold sectors however, potentially leading to barriers to the Green Deal. This contract is for a project to to explore policies to address potential Green Deal Consent Barriers in this market.

title: Title of Contract: Updating and revision of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the hydrocarbon prospective onshore regions of the United Kingdom

description: Under EU law, a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is required to be compiled and subjected to public consultation before the adoption of certain kinds of plans or projects. Case law has established that oil and gas licensing rounds are plans or projects within this category. As part of an SEA preparatory to further onshore oil and gas licensing, DECC published an environmental report and consulted on it in 2010. However, following two seismic events in Lancashire in 2011, caused by hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for shale gas at Preese Hall near Blackpool, it is now considered necessary in seeking to license further territory for oil and gas exploitation to revise and update that report in the light of later information, and conduct a new consultation on the updated report. The updated report should provide fuller information on possible oil and gas activities flowing from the licensing round, so as to provide a full picture of possible shale gas activities; and to assess the possible environmental consequences of those activities, and the scope for mitigating these consequences, in the light of the latest knowledge including learning from the events in 2011. The revision of the environmental report will involve a review of the existing report and the data on which it is based, collation of newer or additional scientific data, preparation of revised or new reports as appropriate on the environmental implications of the activities within scope. The contractor will also be required to conduct and lead on the consultation on the revised report, and will need to be prepared to interact with public consultees, regulatory bodies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the industry and academics; and to make recommendations in the light of these consultations to DECC.

description: Southend on Sea Borough Council is inviting expressions of interest from an architect lead design team wishing to tender for a full design service though all the RIBA work stages. Hamstel Junior is a 4 form entry Junior school in the centre of Southend on Sea. It is an early 1930’s building that has been expanded though-out the years. The project will require a complete analysis of the existing school. There is a need to increase the school by an additional 7 classbases over two phases (2 for August 2014 and 5 for August 2015), and looking at how the core areas of the school can be expanded to accommodate the increase in pupil numbers. It is vital that the proposals reflect the ability to provide flexible accommodation to add on additional areas in the future. The school will remain fully functioning during the construction phase and disruption is to be kept to a minimum, with all intrusive work to take place during the school holidays. The design team will be architect lead and co-ordinated, and with the exception of the QS and CDM –C the design teams will be made up of all required consultants. Southend on Sea Borough Council will procure the QS and CDM-C separately. The design team will be appointed under the RIBA standard terms and conditions, with minor amendments.

title: DigitalCity Specialist Business Coaching Invitation to Quote

description: DigitalCity Business has historically been part financed by the European Union and the European Regional Development Fund, and is currently applying for funding from this source for the 2012-15 period. We expect to receive confirmation of this funding later this summer. In the meantime, and to expedite project ramp up, DCB is conducting a procurement exercise for a number of services, including this invite to quote. Applicants should be aware that the contract on offer is subject to this funding being confirmed, and all application work is done at the applicant’s own risk. DigitalCity Business [DCB] is the business driver for the developing DigitalCity supercluster based in the Tees Valley. One of DCB’s tasks is driving cluster-focussed activities such as events, networking and collaboration initiatives in the Tees Valley. This is of particular importance given the Local Enterprise Partnership’s prioritisation of the digital sector, and the targets identified in its Digital Sector Action Plan. One key area we deliver support in is specialised support for digital and creative start-ups and accelerating SMEs, and we are now looking for business and digital professionals to deliver specialist coaching for those businesses. Coaching and Mentoring are sometimes used interchangeably but here they represent different processes. Coaching refers to advice given regarding specific issues or questions, where the advice is usually specific, practical and immediately actionable. Mentoring tends to have longer term, more strategic objectives, and in the case of start-up companies often takes the role normally associated with a strong board at a successful, more developed business: the setting and monitoring of long term strategic development objectives and the activities implemented to achieve these things, positive challenge to the executive, and non-executive functions. Business Growth Workshop System: Mentors may also be called upon to deliver modules within the Business Growth Workshop System, a 10 week intensive ‘business 101’. The BGWS comprises of 16 modules based around specialisms including – • Sales • Marketing • Business development • Personal development for business development • Team development The contracts offered are linked to specific areas of expertise, and are part-time and freelance in nature; the work will be called down by DCB as and when required and therefore the amount of work will vary and depend very largely on demand from the supported businesses. Because the work is varied, fluctuates, and requires high-level skill-sets of different kinds, we are looking for a wide range of professionals. Specialisms we want to cover include – • Business development / Sales • Business management • Marketing • App development, mobile and web technologies • Project management for digital and creative production • Product management We are also looking for coaches who are specialist in other business sectors, and whose experience can help digital companies penetrate the markets those other sectors, both nationally and internationally. These other business sector specialisms are – • Education • The process industries • Renewables • Logistics • Healthcare All the businesses coached are in the digital media, digital technologies and creative sectors, and the cornerstone of our approach is that professionals who have a successful track record and are currently working in these sectors are able to deliver the most appropriate, and the most effective coaching. This approach has proved successful over the past eight years, during which time the cluster has evolved from a relatively small number of SMEs to a large, vibrant and growing group of companies, with a rich mix of freelancers, niche and lifestyle businesses, businesses with genuine high growth potential and some already achieving this. So DigitalCity Business would like to invite quotes from everyone interested in contributing to this very special coaching system. To be considered as a coach, you need to fit at least one these descriptions - • A digital media or creative professional with a minimum demonstrable 10-year track record of success, and a demonstrable high-level expertise in at least one field identified above; or • A digital technology professional with a minimum demonstrable 5-year track record of success, and a demonstrable high-level expertise in at least one digital technology field identified above [the difference in the period requirement between these two definitions is due to the fast pace of development in the digital technology sector]; or • A professional with a demonstrably successful track record in one of the other sectors identified above [ie education, the process industries etc] whose experience and networks can clearly help digital companies penetrate those markets. And you must also have – • Active and current involvement with your sector specialisms • Genuine sector and business understanding • A commitment to excellence and innovation • A genuine network of contacts on a national and / or international level • Good interpersonal skills • A business or entrepreneurial mindset, a deep understanding of the challenges faced by SMEs and an empathy for the special challenges faced by graduate driven SMEs • A genuine interest in coaching, and engaging with SME businesses and the individuals in them Coaches are issued freelance contracts, which will run through to March 2015. All coaching contracts will be for a maximum of £20,000, but it should not be assumed that the maximum value will be executed. The amount is to allow DCB flexibility, with all coaching called down by DCB on an ‘as-needed’ basis [experience has shown that a typical DCB coach might do anything between a few days a year up to 20 days a year, depending on demand and their own timetables]. It should also be noted that if more than one coach is appointed to a specialism, the total spend in that area will not exceed £20,000. All coaches need to work inside and fit in with the small but extremely motivated DigitalCity Business team. If you are interested, please contact us in the first instance at info@dcbusiness.eu to receive a briefing document on DigitalCity, DigitalCity Business and the supercluster we are developing. This will give you a very clear idea of the ambitions we have, and the challenges we face achieving them, and will give you some idea of the kind of environment we work in. You might also want to visit www.dcbusiness.eu to get more information. Please note while you are free to apply under more than one expertise area, DCB takes the view that the kind of people it wishes to act as its coaches will be genuine experts in their field, and therefore unlikely to be suitable in more than one field [think of the 10,000 hour rule]. Because we are seeking to build a world class cluster, we are not looking for people who have a bit of experience in a number of fields; nor are we looking for the kind of consultant who thinks light engagement with no commitment is adequate; and you should be aware that DCB is populated by people who have great experience in the digital and creative sectors, and therefore this invite to quote is not for those who are looking for a soft number or and easy ride. If you would then like to be considered, you should submit a proposal detailing - 1 The services you can offer, being extremely specific about the area you are expert in; 2 Why you think you would make a great coach; 3 The experience you have of coaching, and - 4 The approach you take when coaching; 5 The price you are offering for your services [as a day rate]; For a number of reasons, our mentors have always tended to give their services at less than their normal rates: it’s often about wanting to help new and emerging talent coupled with the realisation that projects such as DigitalCity have limited budgets. While not offering services at less than normal rates is not a deal-breaker [nor a deal-maker], if you would like to do so please tell us, and add details of your normal day rate; 6 What PI insurance you have in regard to coaching, and if you do what level it works at [please note not having PI insurance is not essential, but this does require a few more steps for us to bring a coach onboard]. The proposal should be no more than 1,000 words long. DCB reserves the right to eliminate any submission over this length with no further consideration of it. 7 You should also submit your full CV / biography [this is over and above the 1,000 words]. All documents should be in either .doc, .docx or .pdf form Your proposals must be submitted by email to the email address shown below. Quotations@Middlesbrough.gov.uk. Please ensure the subject line of the email returning the quotation includes the quotation reference number MBC000238 Without this number the e-quotations system will not accept the quotation. The closing date for submissions is 12 noon, Wednesday 26th June 2013. If you require any further information prior to submitting your proposal please contact Daniel Watson at DigitalCity Business [daniel.watson@dcbusiness.eu].

title: UK-Sheffield: health and social work services

description: The Government believes that strong and stable families are essential to a strong and stable society. When families do separate they should be offered the help and support required to help them work together in the best interest of their children. The Government published the Green Paper Strengthening families, promoting parental responsibility: the future of child maintenance consultation paper in January 2011 which set out reform proposals and sought people’s views. Powered by BravoSolution eSourcing Technology 4 / 21 It was established that around half of CSA (Child Support Agency is a delivery arm of the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission in Great Britain. Launched on April 5, 1993, the CSA is responsible for implementing the 1991 Child Support Act and subsequent legislation) parents with care and a majority of non-resident parents surveyed felt that they would make a family-based arrangement if they had the right support. There currently is no central system which supports parents to think about child maintenance as part of a whole range of issues parents generally face when separating. Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission (CMEC) are keen to learn what works best in helping separated parents to collaborate and resolve conflict in order to support their children. DWP will provide £14 million of funding for the Innovation Fund - Support for Separated Families, with up to £9 million being apportioned to Round 1, with the remainder reserved for Round 2. This funding will support a range of projects for up to a two year period (and may be extended for a further year at the discretion of DWP) and will enable us to gather more evidence on the types of support that are most effective. The two key objectives of the Innovation Fund - Support for Separated Families are to: • Increase the number of children benefiting from child maintenance arrangements by reducing conflict and improving collaboration between separated and separating parents. This will be achieved by developing effective interventions that help parents make their own arrangements and avoid using the Courts or the CSA. • Test a wide range of interventions in different areas of Great Britain (GB) and understand what is effective in encouraging collaboration and reducing conflict amongst separating and separated parents. CMEC will develop an evidence base of the most effective interventions across the spectrum of help and support available i.e. from intensive couple therapy to web based advice. Please note that CMEC is due to return as a business unit of the Department for Work and Pensions from 31st July 2012. This is the first of two Innovation Fund - Support for Separated Families bidding rounds. DWP anticipates that there will be between 8 and 20 contracts in total let for the Innovation Fund - Support for Separated Families over both rounds, but precise numbers will depend on the quality and value of bids received. DWP anticipates that there will be between 4 and 10 contracts awarded in round one, but precise numbers will depend on the quality and value of the bids received. The second round of the Innovation Fund - Support for Separated Families is expected to commence early 2013. DWP and CMEC want to test a range of different projects, therefore we will not award more than £1.5 million of funds to any one project in total (i.e. over the two year contract period (and may be extended for a further year at the discretion of DWP). DWP welcome bids from public, private and voluntary sector organisations, either on their own or as part of a partnership with others. We know the voluntary sector bodies have a wide range of Powered by BravoSolution eSourcing Technology 5 / 21 skills and expertise in working with separated families and would therefore particularly encourage them to bid, either as a main bidder or as a partner/subcontractor. Further details about the Innovation Fund - Support for Separated Families procurement and DWP’s requirements are available, on the Supplying DWP website and BravoSolution. The Initial Application Form and supporting documents will be available to download via the link below from the 16 July 2012. https://dwp.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml These are Part B services and the DWP will not be bound by the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (as amended) except as such Regulations provide.
