title: RM1043 Digital Services - Highways Agency (HA database)

description: The Highways Agency requires an Environmental Assessment Scoping Tool (EAST) that will inform the extent of environmental assessment required when undertaking road development schemes and provide associated management reporting functionality. The tool will be used by both the Agency and its Delivery Partners to mechanise the production of first draft Environmental Assessment Scoping Reports (EASRs). The proposed solution will support the Highways Agency’s Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Volume 11 by providing a questionnaire approach to aid determining the scope and level of environmental assessments required for road projects. The tool will be rules-based and be flexible enough to be easily configured by the Highways Agency (or supplier of its choosing) to reflect future changes in the DMRB. The scoping tool will be accessed by designers (Design Consultants (DC) or Asset Support Contractors (ASC)) and internal HA staff in Network Services (NetServ), Network Delivery & Development (NDD) and Major Projects (MP), therefore the scoping tool is required to be either externally hosted or available through the Agency’s remote access service. This will require the supplier to work in conjunction with HA ICT Solutions team to identify the preferred method.

title: Professionalism & Parity Phase 2

description: The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act, passed in April 2013, created a new corporate body, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) which from April 2014 assumed many of the existing duties of the Competition Commission (CC) and the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) and is now the UK’s principal competition body. The CMA works to promote competition for the benefit of consumers, both within and outside the UK, the aim being to make markets work well for consumers, businesses and the economy. The CMA is a non-Ministerial Civil Service (CS) organisation and as such will be expected to adhere to Civil Service and Cabinet Office delegated pay decisions set by HM Treasury and agreed by the Secretary of State for the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills. As a market leading competition body, the CMA will also need to recruit and retain high quality and highly qualified individuals in key professional areas. Many of these individuals are highly sought after by economic consultancies, private Law firms, accountancy firms and other regulatory bodies - in particular, Monitor and the Financial Conduct Authority - as evidenced by current turnover within the CMA for these key positions. This will require the development of an effective reward strategy and career development structure for said individuals that will enable and support both individual career progression and professional excellence within the CMA. This is aligned with the government steer in respect of civil service professionalism, career and competency frameworks, together with the CMA strategy for financial years 1 April 2014 through to 31 March 2016 and the CMA annual plan. Phase 2 of the Professionalism & Parity aims to support the strategic objective of the CMA around professional excellence, together with the longer term aspirations in respect of accreditation.

description: This project relates to the EU ETS carbon market and participants in that market. The aim of a study is to analyse the possible implementation of a supply flexibility reserve an option for reform of the EU ETS. The project will require an assessment of the detailed design options for the implementation of a supply flexibility reserve and the impacts of a mechanism.

This study will also serve as a source of background reference material to aid our understanding of the implications and relative merits of different proposals for reform of the EU ETS. The study will also provide insights into the triggers for intervention in a supply flexibility reserve, how market participants would price a reserve in to their investment decisions, and a description of the effects of a reserve on the carbon price. The contract will be awarded based on : • In-depth understanding of carbon markets and, preferably, other similar markets e.g. commodities, currency • Knowledge of the way in which the carbon market operates, particularly with regard to the use of surplus and price formation, including different drivers of demand, and the behaviours of different types of market participants. • Strong knowledge of the structure and operation of the electricity generation and energy intensive industries across Europe and in the UK • Strong analytical capabilities, and an ability to thoroughly analyse data See the specification for further detalis

Additional Information. West Suffolk CCG utilises the Government Procurement Service Supplier Information Database (sid4gov) to manage and assess general pre-qualification information in the form of a profile. sid4gov has been developed by Government Procurement Service, in partnership with NQC, following agile development principles to provide a replacement for sid4health in the first phase, with subsequent developments planned to improve the scope of the questions, scope of user access and integration with other eEnabled applications. The future vision is to create a single supplier registration portal that will provide one place for suppliers to register and provide information for procurement in support of management information requirements and responses to tenders across the public sector. This portal will also provide public sector buyers with a single place to access supplier related information in support of market engagement and procurement processes. Bidders are requested to provide their profile in sid4gov. In order to access sid4gov for the first time, you will need to register, providing your individual and organisation details including the relevant DUNs number. The use of a DUNs number is mandated for registration and will support identification of suppliers across all eEnablement applications. This will help government to improve data quality throughout procurement and is a key enabler of the policy for transparency. It will also assist in the future development as we integrate across other applications in support of a single registration process. There is no cost to suppliers in registering for sid4gov or getting a DUNs number. Bidders should ensure all the mandatory fields of their sid4gov profile are completed. Failure to comply with the completion of all mandatory fields could result in the elimination from the procurement process. Please note D&B data will be supplied automatically by D&B. Bidders must publish at least one validated profile to make their profile available for buyers to view generally. Please register on sid4gov at https://sid4gov.cabinetoffice.gov.uk

title: Japanese Knotweed Removal, Former Standish Hospital, Stroud

description: The Homes and Communities Agency wish to appoint contractors for the eradication of Japanese knotweed. The eradication must be certified. The former Standish Hospital site has extensive grounds with many mature specimen trees, an attractive pond and significant amounts of Japanese Knotweed. The majority of the areas thought to be infected with Japanese Knotweed are far enough away from desirable trees to allow for the excavation of the entire rhizome network. However, this should be confirmed by a full survey. The eradication proposals comprise the excavation and treatment of soils on site to eradicate Japanese Knotweed and render the soils suitable for reuse as fill at the site within a relatively short period. The preferred treatment option is to screen the soils on site to remove any rhizomes, together with the application of a suitable herbicide to eliminate the risk of any future re-growth. In areas of the site where excavation is not possible, other treatment schemes should be considered. Zero nuisance, health and safety, and environmental issues are mandatory. Full method statements and risk assessments must be produced and adhered to at all times. These will be assessed during the tender period and checked by consultants. Full welfare provisions must be made. The site must be left in a satisfactory manner. All works will be supervised by our appointed Engineering Consultant. A separate CDM co-ordinator has also been appointed. All works must be compliant with, and approved by, these consultants. Any instruction by these consultants must be followed without question as if they were the HCA. Full records must be provided in a Health and Safety File. A full scope of works will be presented to a shortlist of contractors to bid against.

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.

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.

description: Flight Data Recorder Hardware and Software Support Services Contract. A significant part of an aircraft accident investigation involves the recovery and analysis of information contained in the aircraft flight recorders, (the "black" boxes). The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) is committed to a programme of continuous improvement in order to meet its statutory obligations. The concept of the need to maintain adequate flight recorder replay and analysis facilities has been recognised and is part of the AAIB Business Plan. The programme, which began in 1987, is necessary to meet advances in flight recorder technology caused, in the main, by the requirement to record ever more information on the behaviour and performance of modern public transport aircraft so that the causes and circumstances of an accident or serious incident may be determined quickly and cost effectively. Whilst a large part of the development is undertaken by specialist AAIB inspectors some tasks, in particular the provision of software and hardware expertise is contracted out with the AAIB inspectors working alongside specialist independent suppliers. Flight recorder replay and analysis is carried out using computers utilising the Intel family of processors; specifically 32 bit or 64 bit PCs running the Windows XP or Win 7 operating systems. The AAIB has a continuing programme to upgrade its flight recorder replay and analysis facilities and this also includes changes to cater for the ever-developing hardware and software PC platforms.
