title: Finance System for Low Carbon Contracts Company Ltd and Electricity Settlements Company Ltd

description: The Low Carbon Contracts Company has been created by the Department of Energy and Climate Change in response to challenges in the electricity sector outlined in the Government’s recent Electricity Market Reforms. Contracts for Difference (CfDs) are one of the key mechanisms to incentivise investment of £110bn in new, low carbon, generation by 2020, as outlined in the reforms. CfDs will provide long-term price stabilisation to low-carbon plant, allowing investment to come forward at a lower cost of capital and therefore at a lower cost to consumers. In order to provide confidence to generators that they will receive the payments they are due under a CfD, the Energy Act 2013 included provisions to create two new companies the Low Carbon Contracts Company Ltd and the Electricity Settlements Company Ltd . The Low Carbon Contracts Company Ltd will sign private law contracts with generators, manage the CfDs and collect a Supplier Obligation levy from licensed electricity suppliers to fund difference payments to CfD generators. The Finance System also needs to account for the activities of the Electricity Settlements Company Ltd, which has been created to enable another Electricity Market Reform mechanism: the Capacity Market. This mechanism is designed provide reliable capacity to ensure security of electricity supply. It will do so by providing eligible generators with a steady retainer payment to be available to provide additional capacity when needed. The procurement of the finance system is being undertaken by the Low Carbon Contract Company on behalf of both companies. There is at this stage a single scope of work that meets the requirements of both companies. Both companies should be able to rely on this procurement to purchase the Finance System without the need for any further procurement process. For the purpose of this procurement, the two companies are collectively referred to as ‘the Company’, but in all cases the singular shall also imply the plural. Further information on the background of the Company and Electricity Market Reforms can be found in the ‘Invitation to Respond’ document. Finance System Requirements The Finance System is critical to the effective operation of the Company, as it must allow the Company to properly account for its activities. An effective and fit for purpose Finance System will also provide support for many of the controls required by the Company. It will also support visibility to the Government, industry and the public on the performance of the Company. The Finance System requirements for the Company are for the following system components: • General Ledger • Accounts Payable • Purchase Order Processing • Cash Book • Fixed Assets • Project Accounting; and • Reporting These requirements are described in more detail in the ‘Invitation to Respond’ and the ‘Finance System Functional and Non-functional Requirements’ documents.

title: Heat Networks Demonstration Small Business Research Initative (SBRI)

description: The Heat Networks Demonstration SBRI competition aims to stimulate innovation that will help address cost and performance efficiency challenges related to heat networks. This call will support proposals that can develop, demonstrate and trial innovative heat network technologies within the timescales indicated. As such, DECC would expect to fund technologies that are close to deployment, although projects at an earlier stage of development will be considered if they demonstrate particularly strong innovation or benefit and a clear route to demonstration and deployment. The competition will be managed in two phases. The first phase will support feasibility studies with an expected value between £20,000 and £50,000 and the second phase will support trials and demonstration activities with an expected value between £100,000 and £1m per project. Only successful Phase 1 applicants can proceed to Phase 2. Funding is available for pre-commercial development activities, including solution exploration design, prototyping, field testing, trials and demonstrations. Funding is not available for commercial development activities such as quantity production. Innovation can include new technologies (components, materials, techniques etc), integration of new technologies into existing networks, application of existing technologies into the heat networks area, and efficiency improvements to existing technologies. The competition is intended to have a relatively broad scope to encourage innovative ideas. As a guide, technologies and techniques might include (but are not limited to): • the integration of innovative low carbon heat sources to heat networks, e.g. technologies for recovering waste heat from industry and power stations or river-source heat pumps; • Novel large-scale thermal storage, i.e. beyond conventional hot water storage; • Novel heat transport technology that may have lower installation or operating costs; • Improved controls that deliver greater system cost-effectiveness, e.g. in terms of switching efficiently between different heat sources (depending on heat load and availability); • Low temperature system technology; • Innovative technologies that can be applied to cooling networks, e.g. more efficient absorption chillers that use heat to produce cold air/ water, or more efficient trigeneration of heating/ electricity/ cooling. As a network scheme, projects will only be funded where connectivity / interface with the network can be demonstrated. Heat generation technologies in isolation will not be considered. Deliverables It should be noted that SBRI contracts require that project outputs are shared publicly. See ‘further information’ on page 16 of ITT. DECC will supply guidance for report writing prior to projects commencing. Phase 1 projects will be expected to deliver a feasibility report containing a detailed description of the design, operation and benefits deriving from the technology or new techniques when connected to a heat network. The Phase 1 report will be used to assess which projects will go forward to Phase 2. As such, the report should contain sufficient information to enable assessment and we reserve the right to request any further details beyond those provided to aid us in our assessment. The report should include: • Detailed description of the technology including process flow diagrams; • Evidence of technical feasibility and readiness for demonstration on an existing heat network; • Detailed cost analysis, including development, operation and maintenance costs of the final system under development; • Detail and numeric estimates of emissions reductions, performance improvements and other benefits (efficiency improvements, cost savings); • Detailed exploitation plan, including agreements with partners / site owners. • Expected uptake across UK heat networks. Alongside the report, suppliers will need to deliver fully accessible copies of any models used, with appropriate explanations of the analysis undertaken and the raw data used. Phase 2 projects will be expected to provide an on-site demonstration of the technology at an agreed site. The final output will be an evidence-based report detailing the design and development of the system, demonstration and trials results, key successes, lessons learned, and next steps. The SBRI Standard T&Cs will apply to this requirement. Contract will be awarded based on: the quality of proposals reflected by their position in the ranked list and with a minimum threshold of 60% of marks against the evaluation criteria. As part of the assessment process DECC may request applicants to attend interviews in London in the week commencing 15th December. The following skills are considered particularly important for this work: understanding of heat networks technologies, infrastructure and implementation.

title: Polygraph Training & Quality Assurance

description: Following a very successful pilot of polygraph testing sexual offenders in East and West Midlands Regions, the National Offender Management Services (NOMS) intends to train NOMS offender managers to become qualified polygraph examiners. The legislation to polygraph certain sexual offenders is contained in the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Sections 28.29.30), and sexual offenders who meet the criteria will have a licence condition to take the polygraph. Once trained NOMS polygraph examiners will be required to carry out polygraph examinations on the offenders who are assessed as high risk of harm and high risk of reoffending. NOMS therefore intends to procure the services of a provider who can train its staff to the American Polygraph Association Standard. This will include the basic polygraph examination training and the Post Conviction Sex Offender Training along with the associated quality assurance and equipment provision. The Ministry of Justice will be performing events through its eSourcing Portal.

The overall area identified for consideration is shown at Annex 1 Map 1 (West) and Map 1 (East) (attached separately). To provide substantive information to underpin Natural England’s biodiversity evidence base for the area, a breeding bird survey for the moorland, known locally as roughland, is required as detailed in this specification. Key semi-natural habitats occurring in the survey area include lowland heathland and associated acid grassland, mires and flushes, scrub and bracken. For the purposes of survey work the area has been divided into 57 separate numbered survey areas, some of which are contiguous, with individual survey areas ranging in size from c.3ha to c.157ha. Some survey areas are currently under positive management while others are unmanaged. The objective of this survey is for the contractor to undertake a targeted breeding bird survey within selected survey areas across the West Penwith Moors to determine the breeding status of all bird species in the survey area. The survey is to be carried out in 2014 and will explore the principal habitat types found on the Moors likely to support breeding birds.

description: DEFENCE HUMAN INTELLIGENCE UNIT (DHU) RECRUITMENT VIDEO- Background DHU is staffed with personnel from all Services, Branches and Arms of the UK’s Armed Forces. It is dependent on volunteers for its existence. Recruitment is therefore continuous and essential. DHU is now responsible for its own recruitment and is further professionalising and permanently staffing its recruitment team. The team briefs tri-service audiences in a range of locations (Ships, Stations, Brigades, COs RCMOs, CLM students, course personnel etc). The authority for this is contained in the CGS directive and DHU’s Comd JFIG-endorsed End-to-End Manning Strategy. DHU currently presents a PowerPoint enabled recruitment brief, which is broken up with videos introducing potential volunteers to aspects of the Unit. The current video is out dated, and less professional than is desirable (produced in house) and may do more to reduce the Unit’s attractiveness than it does to increase it. Therefore it is deemed that updating the video would be a benefit to the DHU’s recruitment activity. In an attempt to increase recruitment activity, DHU has already placed advertisements in various publications such as RAF News and Navy News, to assist in raising the profile of DHU, however this does not have the visual impact to demonstrate what or who the DHU are or does in the way that other media types would. Statement of Requirement A DHU recruitment advert is commissioned showcasing the Unit’s contribution to operations to attract volunteers [potentially complex – see background above]. Service/audience specific videos demonstrating DHU’s contribution to the Land, Air, Navy and Littoral operations produced. Three videos: Army RAF Navy & RM Two Pre-Training Assessment (PTA) recruitment videos, one for Agent Handling and one for Specialist Debriefers to allow audiences to understand the selection process. Two videos, one for Agent Handling and one for Specialist Debriefers to allow audiences to understand the training process. Eighteen simple personal “selfies” from each Service and cap badge/trade (no longer than 1 minute) to appeal to their peers explaining how they went from seeing a recruitment brief to serving in the Unit, what they have enjoyed in the Unit and why those in the audience should volunteer. A (1 min) CO’s/HoA address to win volunteers and their Chain of Command’s support DHU personnel cannot appear in the video and thus the supplier must account for the need to hire actors / character players. The videos must be unclassified if they are to have utility. This will bring challenges as much of what the Unit does is classified.

description: Croxton Park was notified as a SSSI for its medieval parkland, acid grassland and lichen assemblage. Ancient pedunculate oaks Quercus robur and hawthorns Crataegus monogyna occur sparingly in the grazed areas and amongst 200 year old oak plantations. The old oaks and ash trees in the sheltered valleys support many uncommon lichens. More than 90 species have so far been recorded including the locally rare Chaenotheca ferruginea and Lecanactis abietina on oaks, the regionally rare Pseudevernia furfuracea and locally rare Mycoblastus sterilis on ash, and the scarce Cyphelium inquinans on dead wood. The old limestone walls also support a good selection of lichens including the only County record of Lecania baeomma. We require a contractor to undertake a full lichen condition assessment of all units (see location map for details) to confirm the current condition of the lichen interest and to provide management recommendations.

title: DigitalCity Business - Specialist Business Coaching: invitation to quote (Round 3)

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. 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 • Strategic financial management • Strategic marketing • Online marketing and communications • Start-up development 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 MBC000353 Without this number the e-quotations system will not accept the quotation. The closing date for submissions is 12 noon, Friday 7th March 2014. If you require any further information prior to submitting your proposal please contact Daniel Watson at DigitalCity Business [daniel.watson@dcbusiness.eu].

title: Enabling Independence & Resilience: Hate Crime Outreach & Support Service in the London Borough of Hounslow

description: London Borough of Hounslow’s Thriving Communities agenda takes the objective of achieving better outcomes for all residents as its starting point. The overarching goal is to support and further develop strong and thriving communities and the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector within the borough. The services that we are now commissioning for the period 2015 to 2017 / 2019 (this is for a two (2) year period with an option to extend for an additional 2 years subject to funding) will help us to achieve the desired outcomes while also delivering wider Council and partner objectives that positively impact on residents’ lives and reduce demand for statutory services experiencing financial cutbacks. All commissioned services will work towards three key outcomes: Outcome 1: A vibrant, self-sustaining and ambitious Voluntary Community Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector in Hounslow Outcome 2: Empowered residents and communities actively shaping their local area and enhancing civic pride Outcome 3: Enabling independence and resilience by building the skills, resources and capacity of residents, neighbourhoods and communities. Additionally, we have identified 15 key outcomes that we expect to see delivered through the 9 commissioned services. Within this larger set of service outcomes, each contract will have specific core outcomes we expect will be delivered over the term of the contract. We have adopted a new, integrated outcomes-based commissioning approach that is informed by the growing prevalence of some complex or long-term conditions and needs and the effects of population growth and demographic changes. Currently the Council is faced with ever tightening budgets which require removing any service duplication and The Thriving Communities Funding Plan also details the core principles of sustainability; engaged and resilient communities; quality of services transparency; proportionality, monitoring and evaluation; and achieving together through partnership working. The council requires the provision of a comprehensive, confidential, advice and support service for victims of Hate Crime who live / work within the borough. The service will be responsible for raising awareness of Hate Crime amongst residents, Voluntary & Community Sector organisations, and Statutory Organisations. Assist individuals and agencies to develop skills, policies and strategies to tackle Hate crime whilst promoting best practice in addressing the issue.

title: Review of One-off Habitat Loss Method for Assessing Displacement Impacts

description: The project aims to identify and consider the validity of assumptions underlying treatment of seabird displacement impacts from offshore wind farm sites as a one-off habitat loss effect. Displacement, alongside mortality from collisions, is thought to be one of the main impacts to seabirds from offshore wind farms, due to disturbance of birds from important foraging and wintering grounds. However, the extent of displacement impacts to seabird populations, how this may vary by species, season and life stage, and how these may tie in with indirect mortality and productivity effects, is not clearly understood. Typically displacement, in an impact assessment context, has been treated as a year-on-year effect. This project will identify, develop and critique the suitability of treatment of displacement as a one-off habitat loss effect (i.e. the area is treated as a partial loss of available habitat to nearby populations and the consequent impacts to their productivity and/or mortality is considered in relation to a new estimated population that is assumed to have reached some state of equilibrium but at a lesser level to the original starting population. The resulting information will be used to inform the development of SNCB thinking on best practice impact assessment approaches for the treatment of displacement impacts.
