title: Rapid Review to Update the Evidence for the Healthy Child Programme

description: The Healthy Child Programme (HCP) is the key universal public health service for improving the health and wellbeing of children and is evidence-based. The HCP is published in two volumes, one for children 0-5 years old and one for 5-19 year old children. The current programme for 0-5 year old children is based on the evidence available in 2009. The evidence, especially for 0-5 year olds, is continually being updated as the outcomes of research in this area is published. The commissioning of services for 0-5 year olds transfers from the NHS to local authorities in 2015 and therefore an update of the current guidance is required to ensure local authorities have access to the latest evidence. This tender will be for a supplier to undertake a rapid review of certain areas of the HCP (to be detailed in the tender documentation) to ascertain of there is a need for the evidence/practice in the HCP to be updated.

Evaluation background

 The Station Hall interpretation project set out to redevelop one of the National Railway Museum’s (NRM) major exhibition spaces with the aim of creating an engaging, inspiring and memorable experience, encouraging visitors to participate in and explore the Station Hall space using approaches and concepts that are new to the NRM.

 The project vision for the Station Hall Interpretation project was:

 To create an immersive and nostalgic space in which visitors explore the life of a large station and discover the lives of its workers and passengers

 This summative evaluation of Station Hall Interpretation Project is being carried out 4 months after the project was completed in order for the National Railway Museum to understand the project’s impact and to use findings from the research to inform future projects at the museum.

 In addition to evaluating the Station Hall exhibition the NRM would also like to evaluate an app that was developed by the NRM at the same time as the Station Hall Interpretation Project. The app was a response to the ‘Commercial Cultures’ research programme explored the ways in which places and journeys were marketed to potential passengers from the 1870s to 1970s. The over-arching principle behind this project was to interpret this research outside the walls of the Museum, engaging people who are travelling on the train, to inspire them to think about their own journey and encourage them to share their thoughts.

 The National Railway Museum has conducted front-end research at the beginning of the Station Hall Interpretation Project in order to assess the target audiences’ needs, wants, expectations, prior knowledge and attitudes. During the development stages of a project, some Audience Research was also carried out to evaluate audience responses the interpretive approach and content with the aim of identifying and removing barriers to engagement and learning.

 Target Audiences:

 The target audiences for the Station Hall exhibition redevelopment are:

 -Older independent adults aged 45 years and above (Silver Cruisers and Nostalgia Seekers)*

 -Pre-booked educational groups (Key Stage 1 and 2)

 *These audiences have been defined by a segmentation process of the museum’s audiences and the approach for identifying them within the research sample needs to align with the museum’s segmentation criteria.

 Summative Evaluation Approach:

 The aims for this summative evaluation are:

 1.To identify the extent to which the project’s aims and objectives for the Station Hall exhibition were successfully met.

 2.To identify the extent to which the project provides engaging, inspiring and memorable experiences for the exhibition’s target audience.

 3.To provide recommendations on how to develop successful exhibitions, participation projects and digital and learning offers at the NRM in the future.

 The objectives for this summative evaluation are:

 1.Explore how visitors use the exhibition, including:

 1.1.How visitors interact with the installations, both on the platform and inside the vehicles.

 1.2.How visitors respond to the mix of museum collection objects and the use of ‘theatrical props’ within the exhibition.

 1.3.How visitors respond to the ambience of the environment.

 1.4.How visitors interact with each other in response to the different elements of the Station Hall interpretation.

 1.5.How effective the interpretation is in supporting the exhibition’s target audiences’ reminiscence of their personal experiences.

 1.6.What impact the participatory element of the interpretive approach has on how target audiences engage with the exhibition.

 1.6.1.Whether target audiences recognise that elements of the exhibition have resulted from participation through the Station Stories story gathering project.

 1.6.2.How the participatory elements of the exhibition influence the behaviour of the target audiences.

 2.Assess what visitors learn from a visit to Station Hall, including:

 2.1.How much visitors identify the characters and stories evoked through the prompts and clues of juxtaposed objects and props both on the platform and inside the vehicles.

 iPhone app: East Coast Time Line

 In addition to evaluating the Station Hall exhibition the National Railway Museum want to evaluate an iPhone app, titled East Coast Time Line that was developed alongside the Station Hall exhibition to understand:

 -Who is using the app

 -How the app is being used

 -Barriers to usability of the app

 The app is currently available on iTunes and has been downloaded by c. 3,500 people to date. A proposal has been made to develop an android app, and feedback from this evaluation will be used to make recommendations for this.

 The Station Hall Interpretation Project’s aims and objectives and identified generic learning outcomes for the project will be used to measure the success of the exhibition, and these are set out in Appendix 1. Further details about the App can be found in Appendix 2.

 Deliverables

 -Written report of research findings with accompanying recommendations.

 -Presentation of research findings and recommendations made to NRM/SMG staff.

 Who is the research for and how will it be used:

 This research will be used within the NRM and particularly by Exhibition and Design and Learning departments. The results of this research may be shared with the wider Science Museum Group (SMG) and could potentially contribute to conference and seminar papers.

title: Scoping study to deliver options for an impact evaluation of the Retail Market Review

description:
This work involves developing options for a future impact evaluation of the Retail Market Review (RMR) policies, if Ofgem's proposals are implemented following statutory consultation.

 The overarching objective of this work is to identify a number of high level options for the evaluation design, and to support Ofgem to produce an associated conceptual framework or ‘logic model’ identifying success factors and measurement indicators to be monitored as part of a future evaluation.

 We require input from independent evaluation design experts and envisage that the work would include a number of activities, such as in-depth familiarisation with the RMR policy proposals, a review of Ofgem’s existing monitoring data collection and consumer insight practices and interviews with relevant Ofgem staff. Full details are set out in the ITT document.

title: RM1316 SB141 - Mutual Support Programme - Essex Probation

description: Staff seeking to spin out of Essex Probation Trust (the “Parent Body”) are looking to form a joint venture mutual (the “Potential PSM”), with a partner which shares their values and ambition. It is desired that a virtual split is created between the proposed competed and protected services. This will build capacity and conduct future procurement activity through transactions separated by ethical walls. They will explore co-commissioning opportunities and build on their partnership arrangement with strategic partners to increase their bidding potential. They currently manage approximately 50 individual sub contracts and have experience in the supply chain of both delivering and winning contracts to provide services. They work at a strategic level with all Local Authorities and have been a pilot for community budgets. They have developed both products and services which they have sold within the constraints of being a public sector provider. They know that they can build on this further as an independent entity. They are seeking commercial and legal advice and introductions to providers from all sectors and potential investors in order to become competition ready. They intend to be bidding for interventions and offender management. The proportion of which will be determined by the operating model agreed with future partner(s). The Customer is seeking support to help the project to become competition ready. This will be unique to each project but is likely to include some or all of: • Business and financial planning • Business development and market analysis; • Tender-writing support; • Developing the legal structure and accompanying governance model; • Development and/or review of legal agreements (such as partnerships, financing); • Workforce engagement; and • Organisational design The Ministry of Justice is still developing its response to the consultation and the final policy position has yet to be determined; importantly, the procurement of this support should not be taken as an indication of the likely final policy position. However, recognising that mutuals require time to develop, the Customer has selected the most promising potential projects to support. This selection process has included reference to the potential project’s alignment with the relevant aspects of the outline proposals contained in the Transforming Rehabilitation consultation paper. Further projects (in addition to those currently in the public domain) have been identified, and support contracts will be procured in due course. The Customer recognises that the final policy proposals may look very different, and the Customer’s decision to support a project should not therefore be seen as an indication that this project will fit with future proposals. The outline project description presented in this documentation may therefore necessarily change, and if necessary, the Supplier must be willing to work flexibly, including allowing the scope of the project to be re-shaped to respond to the final policy proposals. Exceptionally, where it is not possible to re-shape the project, the Contract is likely to be terminated.

description: The Foreign and Commonwealth Office – ‘the FCO’ or ‘the Foreign Office’ for short – is the government department responsible for promoting British interests overseas and supporting our citizens and businesses around the globe. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office estate consists of British Embassies, High Commissions, Consulates/Consulate General and Heads of Mission Accommodation in more than 200 overseas posts: • Our Embassy offices are usually found in capital cities and are headed by an Ambassador. • In the capitals of Commonwealth the office is called a High Commission and is headed by a High Commissioner. • We also have other offices in non-capital cities which have different names depending on the type of work they do. For example Consulates and Consulates-General mainly provide assistance to British nationals as well as visa and passport services. Trade Offices work to promote trade with the UK. In the course of time certain FCO properties have accrued items amongst the contents that may be considered to be antiques and works of art (AWA). The FCO has an obligation to ensure such items are well managed, correctly recorded and accurately valued in our annual accounts. The majority of the FCO’s AWA collection is located at overseas posts. Each financial year posts are required to perform an inventory check of all their AWA. In recent years valuation visits have been carried out to Brussels, Moscow and Prague, which house some of our more valuable collections. Our reporting requirements mean that we have to expand those valuations. Our intention now is to establish a targeted, low-cost, global valuation programme to ensure that the overall AWA valuation remains accurate. The programme will also inform our approach to prioritising any maintenance requirements.

name: The Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex

title: PROVISION OF A PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK PACKAGE

description: Essex Police and Kent Police are undertaking a programme of work to provide joint Shared Services to both Police Forces. The remit of the Shared Services incorporates the functions and services provided by six departments: - Corporate Finance, Human Resources, Procurement Services, Estate Services, Transport Services and Business Services. The Director of Support Services Directorate (SSD) was appointed in 2012, with the remit to fully converge the six departments, and to ensure that they deliver value for money while providing high quality services to support front-line policing, comparable against relevant best in class performers in the public and private sectors. The requirement for the SSD to deliver good quality service and outputs is both paramount but also challenging in the current economic climate (less people to achieve similar quantities of work). Essex Police and Kent Police Support Services Directorate needs to deliver lasting change and superior performance, which can be transparently and objectively demonstrated against accepted business standards from any sector. Essex Police and Kent Police Support Services Directorate are therefore looking to engage some external expertise and professional services from the arena of corporate Performance Management, to work with us to undertake a strategic assessment process of the SSD improvement and development requirements, and deliver a transferable package of skills to establish and maintain an innovative and best of class performance management framework. This will need to baseline SSD’s current performance and enable the development of an accountable performance management plan that is intrinsically aligned to and supportive of the strategic policing priorities of each force

title: DFID 6078 - Call Down - Security & Justice Component - DFID E Somali Region

description: The intended impact of the five year Peace and Development Programme (PDP) is to build a more peaceful and inclusive Somali Region. Ethiopia matters to the UK for a range of development, foreign policy and security reasons. It is populous, poor, vulnerable but comparatively stable in the Horn of Africa. From a low base, Ethiopia’s growth and expansion of basic services in recent years have been among the most impressive in Africa. The UK Government has an opportunity to make our support more transformational and accelerate Ethiopia’s graduation from aid dependency. High levels of need and strong government commitment to and capability in reducing poverty mean that DFID Ethiopia (DFID E) is UK’s largest country programme, with a spend of £390 million per year by 2014/2015. The PDP is managed through four contracts. We will accept bids from bidders who have already secured a PDP contract or other DFID E security and justice contract- or who have expressed interest in another PDP contract, except for organisations who are involved in PDP Monitoring and Evaluation as this will constitute a conflict of interest. We will expect those bidders, if successful, to demonstrate at post tender clarification stage that they have sufficient capacity to manage more than one DFID contract in the Somali Region, or in security and justice in Ethiopia. In terms of demonstrating their capacity to manage more than one contract, we would expect to see among others: the ability to attract staff, to accommodate them in the region, to manage the finances of both contracts, to manage the risks of both contracts- and to demonstrate that they have the capacity to manage the logistics of an expanded operation.
