description: Market research services.In 2014 VisitBritain commissioned research specifically about how to lever Britain’s culture (and heritage) to attract visits from the established markets of France, Germany and the USA. VisitBritain now wishes to undertake a similar project in the two key emerging markets of China and Brazil (and possibly also in established market Italy) to primarily understand the extent to which Britain’s culture is a draw and the best way to lever it to encourage visits across Britain (i.e. not only to London) in our marketing. Whilst the previous study covered both heritage and culture this time we wish to focus primarily on culture, although as the two are often linked the project will also touch on heritage.

description: The HS2 Euston site is very constrained in regards to working and storage space and the surrounding roads and streets are already congested. To mitigate the effects of construction vehicles, logistics are needed to efficiently manage vehicles to ensure they do not arrive and leave the Euston site entrances in large groups, thereby creating additional congestion on the existing road network. As part of this mitigation strategy, a lorry holding area is being considered at the Gloucester Slips Vehicle Park. The Royal Parks (TRP) is therefore inviting tenders for provision of a design solution for reconfiguring the Gloucester Slips Vehicle Park to accommodate the parking requirements of High Speed 2 (HS2), Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and TRP.

title: Assessment of the Market, Renewable Heat Potential, Cost, Performance, and Characteristics of Bioliquids for Non-Domestic Heat

description: Non-domestic and domestic use of heat is responsible for producing around a third of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable heat meanwhile, in 2012, represented only 2.3 per cent of total heat usage. DECC aims to increase the contribution of renewable heat to 12 per cent of all UK heat in 2020, making a key contribution to the UK’s overall 2020 EU renewable energy target of 15 per cent. There are a range of renewable technologies that can provide low carbon heat, hot water and cooling, but all face significant barriers. Factors such as the upfront cost of installation, an underdeveloped UK supply chain, unfamiliarity to consumers and space requirements mean that these technologies are unlikely to reach their full mass market potential yet. There is currently a limited amount of information and data available on the market, renewable heat potential, costs, performance, and characteristics of waste derived bioliquids for use for heating generation in the non-domestic sector, or their potential ability to increase the deployment of renewable heat in the UK. One of the principle requirements will be for the contractor to identify the bioliquid feedstocks which are likely to be appropriate for use in heating (through e.g. combustion in a boiler, direct fire process, CHP plant), but not appropriate for use in transport, and setting out the criteria for the categorisation. The contract will also aim to develop new evidence for DECC on the potential for heating only bioliquids to provide renewable heat in the non-domestic sector. Robust evidence gathering, analysis and assessment is required to better understand a number of analytical questions around deployment and abatement potential, renewable energy contribution, performance, costs, and non-economic barriers. The evidence presented in this stage will help inform policy makers as to whether there is a case for support of heating only bioliquids through the RHI or, if not, possibly via a different mechanism.

title: RM1043 Digital Services - HSCIC Health & Justice Information Services

description: The Health and Justice Information Services (HJIS) project is looking for a supplier to provide requirements gathering and business analysis capability as part of an extensive Discovery Works phase to define user needs from a series of potentially disparate scopes of delivery across disparate HJIS service areas. This Discovery Works may be followed by further stages of feasibility study and alpha development that will be defined and procured at a later date. These are dependent on the outcomes of the initial Discovery Works. In conducting the Discovery Works exercise the HJIS project is looking to deliver identifiable benefits both to the services and to NHS England in the ability to deliver a user-centric, quality service, which aligns to their strategies and fulfils their identified aims. The overall outcome of the Discovery Works is to define the intended scope, requirements and potential information management options for each of the Temporary Estate service areas – Police Custody, Sexual Assault Referral Centres and Courts. Requirements will include but not be limited to functional and non-functional requirements, information governance, technical standards (gathered from a range of users (e.g. from local care settings to commissioning bodies/senior management)) and cross phase integration requirements/considerations Potential delivery options will be created, along with associated benefits and solution architectures. Challenges and risks will also be identified along with any necessary technology considerations. An alpha development phase may be embarked on subject to the outcome of the feasibility stage and what options, risks and challenges have been identified. This will be the subject of a separate RFP. It is expected that the Discovery and any subsequent Feasibility Works will take between 3 and 6 months to complete. The HSCIC will own the intellectual property and other deliverables of the discovery works and any alpha developments, and will be able to re-use any of the delivered information or proposals within any future documentation or activities. The Discovery Works will be run as a collaborative activity with the supplier. The supplier will be expected to use appropriate tools, techniques and methods on discovery phase tasks and record outcomes in appropriate artefacts. The appropriateness, quality of artefacts and progress will not be managed by HJIS as a formal approvals and tracking process but as an agile partnership, where transparency of supplier and HJIS activities and thinking will be used to co-elaborate discovery tasks across the whole discover phase. However, where the Supplier captures information into its own tools, this information must be exportable into a format that can be further manipulated by the HSCIC. 1. Start and end dates for the latter phases are anticipated to overlap as some activities can be commenced in parallel. 2. It should be noted that whilst the project has indicatively forecasted required types of resources that Supplier may be required to flex up and down to reflect and meet demand. 3. High level time frames are: a) Discovery Work is expected to start in early November and last for approximately 10 weeks (acknowledging this encompasses December and potential disruption). b) Commencement of this work is dependent on financial approval by NHS England. c) The work itself may not take place on consecutive weeks – there may be a need to spread the work out due to availability of sites and staff across the HJIS service areas. This will be reflected in the Statements of Work, and would mean the overall completion date could extend beyond the date below.

This report has historically split the space economy into upstream and downstream segments. There is an increasing belief that this definition of the industry is unlikely to capture all elements of the sector’s future growth, particularly space-enabled applications. Consequently the analysis needs to reflect the upstream infrastructure and technology, a mid-stream of direct space services, and downstream value-added applications as discrete segments of the space economy.

In turn, these providers will use AFFV’s funds to continue supporting small businesses seeking to finance their assets. Transactions under both Wholesale Guarantees and the Asset Finance Funding Vehicle will involve newly originated portfolios only. As such, the notional value of portfolios guaranteed by the British Business Bank / acquired by the AFFV will initially be very low, and will gradually increase over time. 3) Brief – Requirements Requirement is for:Back-up Servicer The British Business Bank is seeking a Back-up Services Provider to perform the functions outlined below.

title: CQC Taxonomy Services

description: Description of Contract The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. Our aim is to make sure better care is provided for everyone, whether that's in hospital, in care homes, in people's own homes, or elsewhere. We regulate health and adult social care services, whether provided by the NHS, local authorities, private companies or voluntary organisations. We also protect the rights of people detained under the Mental Health Act. From April 2010, all health and social care providers have been required by law to register with the Care Quality Commission if they provide “regulated activities.” The Organisation has registered the NHS, social care providers, dentists and primary medical services (GP practices). It is also moving to new online systems and processes for initial registration and associated ongoing account maintenance. More recently CQC has restructured splitting the inspection work across three new Inspectorates headed up by new Chief inspectors. Each of these Inspectorates is in the process of implementing new more intensive ways of inspection and rating organisations in each of the sectors we regulate. In addition CQC is looking to change the processes of registration. These new inspection and registration methodologies require new information models. So far we have redesigned the core of the new acute hospital model and started work on Adult Social Care and Primary Medical Services. We are aiming to maintain commonality across the models wherever possible in order to maintain efficiency within the organisation. The previous modelling work has proved to be highly beneficial in the design and development of new process and system and we wish to continue to build on this benefit. Through all of this change we have built on the old categorisations of the organisations as they came under the new registration process adding new categories as required. This is becoming unsustainable and we need to complete a full review of these taxonomies and create a new one that will answer the requirements of the organisation in a much more consistent maintainable way.

Work is already underway with an existing team to procure the cloud hosting and to define the steps needed to build the full continuous integration environment that we require. This requirement is for the additional services needed to take forward the necessary build activities and to put into place the operational processes to allow on-boarding of early applications and then ongoing support to the Programme, working with teams already in place to cover certain of the activities (e.g. helpdesk). In simple terms, we require assistance in building and operating a managed hosting environment with a continuous integration capability and automated release management. This needs to be suitable for the live operation of a range of early applications, up to the point that services can be transitioned to the eventual strategic solution, once this is available. As described previously, some early work has already been undertaken to procure the physical hosting environment and to do some proof of concept developments regarding the type of operational environment we wish to create. We now need to significantly bolster the team in order to properly develop the necessary continuous integration capability needed to allow the many application development projects to move their early applications from development through to production.

description: British Antarctic Survey operates in an increasingly challenging funding environment and we strive to maintain our position as a globally recognised authority on polar issues. The quality and importance of the organisation’s work is proven - but it is essential that we continue to evolve how we communicate our work, achievements and knowledge to meet the demands of an increasingly tech-savvy and content-hungry global audience. Central to achieving this will be a strong communications strategy that takes into account all of the channels and resources that we have at our disposal to amplify our work, mission and brand - and importantly, engage meaningfully with our key audiences. A critical element of the ongoing British Antarctic Survey communications strategy will be our approach to digital communication, and as a result, we have commissioned a project that will seek to replace an aging website and associated management tools. The project is a full-stack re-imagination of our brand’s outward digital experience, and will be central to continuing to represent the organisation as a leader within our sector for many years to follow. Information provided by our web analytics shows that there were over 900,000 visits to the British Antarctic Survey website during 2013. Just under half of these were repeat visitors - but the majority of visits were less than 30 seconds long. This high base traffic rate is an enormous opportunity to engage an interested audience. With a simplified information architecture, engaging imagery and media, the British Antarctic Survey mission and our projects should be thoroughly and clearly communicated to the organisation’s key audiences. British Antarctic Survey has all of the crucial ingredients for success - a large and talented workforce, a long and successful track record, strong brand traction, a global audience, unique and interesting stories and a vast library of rich, inspiring and evocative multimedia. It should be understood that the project is not exclusively a design project. With considerable technical, content and user experience elements, we are looking to commission an agency to create a range of creative, technical and content solutions that deliver a positive, measurable effect on the organisation’s current and future business objectives and a meaningful engagement with digital audiences. About UK Shared Business Services Putting the business into shared services UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) brings a commercial attitude to the public sector; helping our customers improve efficiency, generate savings and modernise. It is our vision to become the leading provider for our customers of shared business services in the UK public sector, continuously reducing cost and improving quality of business services for Government and the public sector. Our broad range of expert services is shared by our customers. This allows our customers the freedom to focus resources on core activities; innovating and transforming their own organisations. Core services include Procurement, Finance, Grants Admissions, Human Resources, Payroll, ISS, and Property Asset Management all underpinned by our Service Delivery and Contact Centre teams. UK SBS is a people rather than task focused business. It’s what makes us different to the traditional transactional shared services centre. What is more, being a not-for-profit organisation owned by its customers, UK SBS’ goals are aligned with the public sector and delivering best value for the UK taxpayer. UK Shared Business Services Ltd changed its name from RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd in March 2013. Our Customers Growing from a foundation of supporting the Research Councils, 2012/13 saw Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) transition their procurement to UK SBS and Crown Commercial Service (CSS - previously Government Procurement Service) agree a Memorandum of Understanding with UK SBS to deliver two major procurement categories (construction and research) across Government. UK SBS currently manages £700m expenditure for its Customers, our growth projections anticipate this will rise to £1bn in 2013/14. Important information From the 2nd April 2014 the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All potential suppliers should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement.

title: Radar System

description: 1. Tracking test aircraft out to a line of sight range of up to 30 km using the radar repeater described above. 2. The radar antenna should be as small and lightweight as possible as it will be fitted on the roof of the ground station van (further details of this vehicle can be supplied). It is believed that a 24” 4kW antenna might give sufficient capability but this needs to be verified by the supplier. 3. The radar system will include a display showing the output of the radar scan. 4. The radar scan display should be capable of being overlaid over a map or chart. Hence the radar system must include a high performance GPS system giving an accuracy of 10 metres location accuracy or better. 5. Ideally both the radar scan output and map overlay should be capable of being displayed on other standard computer monitors within the ground station van. 6. The GPS aerial will be mounted on the roof of the ground station van. 7. The radar system must include UK inland maps and UK off-shore charts (out to 30 km) and these should not be dependent on a network connection for usage. 8. The anticipated mean power consumption of the entire radar installation must be provided by the supplier. 9. The radar system must be capable of easy integration with computers within the ground station ideally using a USB interface in order to share data with other systems 10. The radar system should be capable of automatically tracking a target. 11. The supplier should show how target tracking data can be extracted from the radar system and made available to computers installed in the ground station. 12. The supplier will be responsible for designing the entire radar installation and liaising with ground station provider to collaborate on the best installation taking into account the constraints of the ground station in general. 13. The radar system supplier will not be responsible for undertaking the installation within the ground station vehicle but will be required to undertake and be responsible for testing to ensure the system meets the performance targets identified in this specification. 14. Initially the university will want to test the radar system prior to installation in the ground station vehicle. The supplier will be required to design a temporary installation that is capable of being installed in a car and using a roof rack mount.

It is our vision to become the leading provider for our customers of shared business services in the UK public sector, continuously reducing cost and improving quality of business services for Government and the public sector. Our broad range of expert services is shared by our customers. This allows our customers the freedom to focus resources on core activities; innovating and transforming their own organisations. Core services include Procurement, Finance, Grants Admissions, Human Resources, Payroll, ISS, and Property Asset Management all underpinned by our Service Delivery and Contact Centre teams.

UK Shared Business Services Ltd changed its name from RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd in March 2013. Our Customers Growing from a foundation of supporting the Research Councils, 2012/13 saw Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) transition their procurement to UK SBS and Crown Commercial Service (CSS - previously Government Procurement Service) agree a Memorandum of Understanding with UK SBS to deliver two major procurement categories (construction and research) across Government. UK SBS currently manages £700m expenditure for its Customers, our growth projections anticipate this will rise to £1bn in 2013/14. Important information From the 2nd April 2014 the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All potential suppliers should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement.
