description: The Royal Parks manages eight of London’s Royal Parks – St James’s Park, The Green Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, The Regent’s Park (& Primrose Hill), Greenwich Park, Richmond Park and Bushy Park. It is also responsible for a number of other areas including Brompton Cemetery, Victoria Tower Gardens and Grosvenor Square Gardens. The Royal Parks is an executive agency of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The Chief Executive supported by the Senor Management Team, is responsible for the day to day management of the Royal Parks and is accountable to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. The Royal Parks’ inherent purpose is to conserve and improve the fabric of the Parks including their building and structures, to improve the presentation, safety and enjoyment of the Parks for the benefit of visitors and through its conservation policies to contribute to London’s biodiversity. The Royal Parks are looking to appoint a call-off Framework of Contractors for the next four years to cover future irrigation installation and maintenance across the Royal Parks. The intention is ideally to appoint four Contractors to the Framework. Once appointed then a mini-tender will be undertaken against each individual job and the appointed Contractors will be invited to quote for this work. The Royal Parks have undertaken a review of existing irrigation systems and drawn up a report that has identified a significant amount of work required to renew and/or repair existing systems valued in the region of £600k (c. £150k pa). The Royal Parks are seeking Irrigation Contractors, suitably experienced in installation and maintenance of irrigation systems. Contractors will be expected to show strong practical experience of work within this field and experience of working within a public park environment would be an advantage but not essential. The Royal Parks will be using NEC3 Form of Contract for the Works.

title: GB-Southend: Tender for the Provision of Wireless Meshed Network

description: Rochford District Council and Southend Borough Council (the Authorities) are seeking to implement and develop a partnership agreement with a company, in order to provide a Wireless Meshed Network (WMN) over both regions. Southend Borough Council (SBC) has installed a 1 gigabit metro fibre ring (our network connection to Telehouse, Docklands) to deliver broadband to Schools. The use of this metro fibre ring will be made available to assist the winning bidder with the implementation and running of the WMN. The amount of mobile data generated globally is increasing exponentially. This growth is largely driven by the demand for smartphones, tablets, and connected devices. As a result, the justifications for privately funded WMN have been amplified. This is highlighted by the large number of Local Authorities moving to implement wireless networks across their regions with well positioned industry partners. Possible options open to bidders in provisioning such a network include WI-Max / 4G coverage. This process will provide the opportunity to the winning bidder to roll out a WMN without having to invest heavily in new infrastructure. The winning bidder enabled by the infrastructure of the respective Authorities, will be in a position to provide end users (residents, businesses & tourists) a range of services, utilising multiple commercial models. This Infrastructure includes the use of the Property of the Authorities to place Transmitters upon and Southend Borough Council’s (SBC) Telehouse Docklands Connection. Lucrative ventures such as Location Based Advertising and Sponsored Web Links will also be attractive prospects that will enhance the level of income generation made possible. A key aim of this project is to encourage community enablement with a built in a portion of free internet. This daily allocation of free access can become a vital public service, not only enhancing the opportunities available to all residents, but also improving enablement and inclusion across the community. To request a PQQ in relation to this project, please email; eprocurement@southend.gov.uk The deadline to request a PQQ is: 4th of November 2013 The deadline to complete and return a PQQ is the 11th of November 2013

title: GB-Manchester: Vulnerable workers in the cleaning sector

description: In 2010, the EHRC published its report of an inquiry into the meat and poultry processing sector (EHRC, 2010). It is clear from the inquiry that some workers are in a far more vulnerable employment position than others. They tend to be concentrated in low pay, low skill sectors where job insecurity is high due to the prevalence of agency workers, zero hours contracts or bogus 'self employment', and many such employees are migrants. The Commission is keen to explore how equality and human rights are protected and promoted for employees'. After consideration, we have decided to do this by looking further at the situation of workers in precarious and vulnerable employment by concentrating on another important industrial sector, cleaning. The Equality and Human Rights Commission now wishes to award a contract to explore the situation and understanding of employees, employers and others in the cleaning supply chain from an equality and human rights perspective, identify good practice, work with relevant stakeholders and consider co-regulation with other regulators. This specific project will concentrate on the experiences and situation of employees. Suppliers should note that there is no Expression of Interest stage and submissions are required by 13:00 Tuesday 10th September. We wish to contract around the middle of September.

title: The Evaluation of the Big Energy Saving Network

description: DECC is looking for a contractor or contractors to undertake an evaluation for the Big Energy Savings Network (BESN) an outreach programme to encourage vulnerable groups to be more engaged in the energy market. The programme was launched in October and is expected to complete its work by April 2014. We expect the evaluation to report on both the programme processes and impacts. The programme aims to empower vulnerable individuals to make a decision on energy measures (switching, and uptake of Energy Company Obligation, ECO ) The evaluation findings will provide evidence to inform future plans for the BESN programme, including how the network can best engage with vulnerable groups on energy issues, and how the effectiveness and efficiency of the programme can be improved. Findings will also feed into the Community Energy Strategy. It therefore needs to provide evidence and draw conclusions on: • the impacts of the programme on different types / groups of vulnerable individuals and what explains these impacts • the effectiveness of programme processes at each stage in implementation of the programme, setting out what supports and inhibits effectiveness • the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the programme We are looking to contractors to develop an evaluation plan to address the aims of the evaluation and answer the specific research questions (outlined in the ITT) making use of monitoring information DECC is already collecting and further primary research. We encourage the use of mixed methods for this evaluation and are interested in proposals that include theory based approaches to tracing the effectiveness and impacts of programme processes through each stage of the theory of change. Some work has been undertaken to specify the key stages of programme implementation, however we would expect the successful contractor to review and improve on this building an appropriate theory of change (according to best practice), including setting out the outcomes of key actions at each stage, and setting out the assumptions on which the success of the programme is based, and any risks that might affect it. We would also expect the successful contractor to review with us the research questions to ensure these are as relevant and appropriate –refining, and where necessary incorporating additional questions that emerge from the development of a theory of change. We anticipate the theory of change will be developed through documentary review and engagement with DECC staff. In proposing a suitable methodology, the contractor should also set out how they will analyse and synthesise the data. The evaluation findings should be presented in a final report, delivered by September 2014 but interim findings must be delivered by mid-April to inform decisions about future funding of the network. DECC may also require a presentation of findings within the specified cost. Contractors are invited to present details of the methodology proposed for the £50,000 budget, but cost each element of the project individually in a modular format. There is a chance that more funding may become available during the course of the project, so we invite contractors to include a recommendation as to how they would approach the evaluation should this be the case, noting however that proposals will be scored depending on the £50,000 base cost. It is important that the evaluation commences as soon as possible in order that access to programme staff and participants can be arranged, and so that data can be collected contemporaneously.

description: Building Capabilities for Impact and Legacy (BC) is BIG’s initiative in England to embed support resources across a range of our programmes and in our Early Contact function’s work, to help grant-holders deliver outcomes to beneficiaries. Its aim is: to use limited resources wisely, in better equipping organisations with the operational skills, knowledge and confidence to bring real improvements to communities and the lives of those most in need, more effectively and sustainably. The evaluation strategy begins with an initial phase (Phase 1) which draws a line under the current information deficit about 'what works in building capabilities' as described above. Focussing on evidence of benefits to FLOs and their beneficiaries, Phase 1 of the evaluation will extract the most useful information from previous research and, seek out and work with stakeholders involved in current studies to inform the piloting and evaluation of a demand led model of building capabilities. It will also conduct research into areas of the VCS ‘ecosystem’ that previous research has indicated could be put at risk by the demand-led model, and develop learning about the sector’s ability to adapt. The Fund is seeking a qualified Service Provider who can deliver Phase 1 of the Building Capabilities evaluation strategy and provide the Fund with the formative scoping study as per the Fund's requirements in the ITT.

title: GB-Bristol: Land Vehicle Exercise 2013

description: This MOD call is seeking proposals for the innovative application of concepts and equipment designed to improve the Mounted Close Combat capability of Land Vehicles returning to Contingent Operations. The MOD’s Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) organisation’s mission is “To equip and support our Armed Forces for operations now and in the future.” DE&S is responsible for procuring and supporting all the equipment and services for the UK Armed Forces. LVEx will contribute towards efforts to return to Contingent Operations by identification, prioritisation and evaluation of equipments and concepts designed to improve the Mounted Close Combat (MCC) capability. This competition is divided into two separate strands. 1. COTS - Mature “Commercial off the Shelf” (COTS) equipment, which is ready to be tested in a military context will be considered. 2. SBRI - Novel concepts and applications, including COTS offerings currently applied in non-defence areas that require R&D to make them applicable to defence needs are sought in order to provide innovative solutions. Ultimately this will help MoD to de-risk procurement, generate evidence of capability gaps and inform requirements for future Equipment Programmes. LVEx 2013 focuses on four key themes. Industry is invited to submit COTS technologies with innovative applications, or concepts that could provide solutions to any or all of the themes: • Mobility - We are looking for innovative ways to enhance the mobility of our vehicles over difficult terrain. Platforms of interest are those of our vehicles weighing 40 tonnes and below. • Signature Reduction - We are interested in solutions for reducing the visual, acoustic and electronic signatures of our vehicle fleet i.e. how easy it is for our vehicles to be seen, heard or sensed. • Weight saving - We are very interested to see solutions which demonstrate how technology could reduce the weight of our wheeled vehicles.

name: Torbay and Southern Devon Health & Care NHS Trust

title: Care & Support Living Well @ Home

description: Torbay and Southern Devon Health and Care NHS Trust is one of the UK’s leading providers of integrated care and has also been shortlisted to be a ‘National Pioneer Site for rapid integration’. The organisation seeks strategic development partners to be part of a flagship service which will deliver outcome focused domiciliary and well-being services. The approach being taken is considered to be a potential model for future care in the community. Whilst this tender focuses on services for Torbay residents, the Care Trust provides services across areas of Southern Devon. The Care Trust currently purchases circa 7000 hours of personal and non-personal domiciliary care per week for adults 18+ years and a further 9000 hours of enhanced domiciliary care in the Torbay area, whilst 1244 people received housing related support services from Torbay Council. As existing contracts come to an end the intention is to establish prime contractor agreements with organisations that have the capability and experience to manage the provision of a range of care services through a combination of direct provision and/or sub-contracting arrangements The Care Trust and Torbay Council wish to work with organisations that are committed to supporting people to live as independently as possible optimising their health, wellbeing and social inclusion. During the course of the contract period, which may be up to 8 years, commissioners will wish to integrate care and support services to bring together domiciliary care, supporting people services and clinical interventions. This will improve the connection between community care and support and accommodation-based services. Successful bidders must have a commitment to high quality, on-going training and career development for staff as well as inter-organisational working. Their values will include the drive to meet the outcomes identified by individuals in their personal care and support plans, and the service will include regular dialogue and reviews with the customers. This is an opportunity to develop services which will lead the market. The mechanisms for payment will develop during the term of the contract and be tested to reflect the increased and/or varied responsibilities of the providers and the delivery of agreed outcomes.

title: MyBol Usability Testing Contract

description: My Benefits Online (MyBOL) is a web-based enquiry service that allows recipients of certain benefits to view basic information about those benefits. At its inception some four years ago, the scope of the service’s functionality was extremely broad. The original functional scope of both the MyBOL service and the suite of services of which MyBOL was a component, has reduced during the course of development. It is unclear whether the current service proposition is understood by users and meets user needs. 2.2 Previous rounds of testing have been conducted with pseudo-functional wireframes in guided one-to-one sessions. No ‘real’ users have interacted with the ‘real’ service. 2.3 It is uncertain whether the issues and recommendations generated by previous rounds of testing have been addressed in the live service. 1. SCOPE OF REQUIREMENT 3.1 Research Objectives The overarching research objective is to conduct user testing on the live MyBOL service, in advance of making the service public, which will enable DWP to: • Ensure that the service proposition is understood by real users and meets their needs • Evaluate the usability of the complete, end-to-end user journey, including the security/identity assurance component • Test the usability of the core MyBOL service using standard usability evaluation methodology • Identify any critical/serious proposition and usability issues and make appropriate recommendations to resolve them

title: Conisbrough Castle Activity Centre Project

description: Conisbrough Castle - located 9.2km south-east of Doncaster - is one of South Yorkshire's best surviving examples of medieval military architecture, and one of the only surviving examples of its kind in Europe. The Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and consists of the ruins of a 12th century castle and earthworks; the surrounding parkland; a modern visitor centre; a listed 19th century Lodge. The site is of national historical significance, telling the story of English life from the 12th to the 16th century and demonstrating the power and influence of royal, baronial and landed families. Conisbrough Castle is currently managed as a heritage visitor attraction by English Heritage under a Guardianship agreement with Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council who own the site. It is a major tourist destination for South Yorkshire attracting 25,000 visitors’s per annum - predominantly local day visitors and education groups. The impressive Norman keep of Conisbrough Castle is a striking landmark on the approach to the town. The castle and its surroundings have helped to define Conisbrough’s individual identity for hundreds of years and it has been a significant public amenity since the early 19th century. The Castle is used and admired by local residents and visitors alike. However, the existing point of admission to the site and access to the heritage interpretation displays and visitor information and facilities is via the visitor centre which was built in the 1980’s and has become outmoded and it is wholly inadequate. The adjacent Lodge built in 1885 is underutilized and in need of some conservation maintenance. The presentation of information to visitors with in the castle keep and inner ward are likewise outdated and in need of replacement. Consequently a project jointly managed under a partnership between English Heritage and Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council with finance from the Heritage Lottery Fund has been developed to address the shortcomings of the current site facilities and visitor experience as well as to re-engage with the local residents of Conisbrough. This project has three main components, comprising:- 1) Improve facilities. This will entail the demolition of the existing visitor centre building and the redevelopment of the Lodge as a new Activity Centre which will improve facilities offered to visitors by reusing a historic building and enhance the setting of the castle. 2) Improve the interpretation and re-presentation of the site. This is to be done by re-interpreting the site to reflect new understanding and standards of presentation. These proposals are been developed from an initial concept design for interpretation and the demand for improvements at local level as set out in the Activity Plan which details the opportunities for public learning and participation. 3) Community engagement and participation. Community consultation and engagement activities undertaken through out the development of the projects HLF application have strengthened evidence of a strong sense of ownership and pride within the town regarding the castle. This has identified multiple opportunities as cited in the Activity Plan to develop the site as a local resource for community activities, recreational use, formal and informal learning opportunities and skills development. This contract notice is for the construction works associated with the demolition of the existing visitor centre and the redevelopment and extension of the existing Lodge building, together with the supporting building works in connection with the installation of the new interpretation presentation and display materials. Applicants are asked to noted that all construction and installation works are subject to the conditions and restrictions set by either Listed Building Consent or Scheduled Monument Consent and as a consequence there will be a need for all applicants to this notice to have a competent track record in working upon historic buildings and their environs which will be vetted and scored via a pre-qualification process in order to establish a tender short list. The Contractor will be required to undertake the duties of “Principal Contractor” under the CDM Regulations 2007. This is a high profile project for both English Heritage and Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council, which is furthermore subject to specific on going monitoring by the Heritage Lottery Fund to ensure that all facets of the scheme’s development and delivery comply with their aims and criteria. Therefore previous experience of successfully delivering similar prominent projects is desirable.
