title: Supply of Natural Gas and Ancillary Services

description: Due to a system limitation the value of this opportunity is shown as being in the range £999,999,999 to £999,999,999 whereas it is, as shown correctly in the OJEU Contract Notice, in the range £2,000,000,000 to £2,500,000,000. Crown Commercial Service as the Contracting Authority is putting in place a Pan Government Collaborative Framework Agreement for use by UK public sector bodies identified at VI.3 (and any future successors to these organisations), which include Central Government Departments and their Arm's Length Bodies and Agencies, Non Departmental Public Bodies, NHS bodies and Local Authorities. Central Government Customers are currently mandated to use the CCS Gas Framework Agreements. The total value of purchases for the entire duration of the framework is estimated to be between 2 000 000 000GBP and 2 500 000 000 GBP. This forecast is based on the following assumptions: — Gas weighting is split as summer 33 % and winter 67 %. This is based on 2012/13 to 2014/15 volume splits. — Volume is static to 2013/14, — All Non-Commodity charges to increase at inflation, — Gas Cost will increase at 1 % less than inflation 2017-2024, The above Public Sector Bodies have a need for the Supply of Gas and Ancillary Services. The framework agreement will be for both Daily Metered (DM) and Non-Daily Metered (NDM) supplies. Provision of Ancillary services in addition to the provision of gas supplies may also be required. This will include but not be limited to; — Site Works and Installation Services. — Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) Services. — Consumption Reduction Services. These are detailed within the framework agreements and the Invitation to Tender Questionnaire. Crown Commercial Service will operate a flexible purchasing strategy where the wholesale energy component is predominantly sourced via the traded markets employing both buys and sells on a forward and prompt basis. The gas will be purchased and sold predominantly via the suppliers trading desk and may be purchased for as far forward as 42 months. It is envisaged that, as currently provided, pricing to the customer will be on the basis of a fixed or variable price. A fixed price will be given when all the purchasing is completed before the delivery period (Locked); or a provisional price will be given followed by a monthly reconciliation, where purchasing continues into the delivery period (Variable). For clarity, pricing to customers for the supply of gas is currently provided on the basis of flexibly purchased Locked and Variable products. Customers will take delivery of gas on the basis of two annual contract periods commencing either in April or October. The first annual contract period for this framework agreement will be1.4.2016. It is possible that the requirement will be aggregated to create one annual contract period for all customers commencing in April. This would be notified to the successful provider during the lifetime of the framework. Customers have the option to select one of the following options: — 1 year, Locked, — 1 year, Variable, — 3 year, Variable. (All options are available for an April supply start date. October supply start date is only available within the 1year, Locked option for existing customers. All options are available for NDM meters. DM meters are all included within the Three year Variable option, for the April supply period). Central Government customers are mandated to use the three year variable option. Under this Framework there is also the requirement to provide customers with prices for annual supply or on an interim basis to cover contract start dates that do not align with the customers chosen annual contract period. This provision will be required from the beginning of the framework. The contractual relationship of all parties under the Framework Agreement is governed by three types of agreement: — Framework Agreement — defines the legal relationship between the Authority and the Supplier — Model Contract — defines the legal relationship between the Contracting Body and Supplier. The obligations of both parties are defined as required within the Supplier licence obligations. — Customer Access Agreement — defines the relationship between the Authority and the Contracting Body, and includes the commitment period for the agreement.

title: RM1043 Digital Services - DSTL R-Cloud

description: The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), which is part of the UK Ministry of Defence, would like to develop a web application to host a contracting framework for Science and Technology Research contracts. The web application will be accessible to both internal users and external industry and academic suppliers. A start date of 21st July 2014 is proposed followed by 3-4 months surge effort to establish a viable and useable product. Further development is expected beyond any live or beta version as the web application matures and usage increases. DSTL on behalf of MoD place a significant amount of fundamental, experimental and applied research contracts with various industry and academic suppliers. The placement of these contracts currently requires a large amount of manual effort and overhead to advertise requirements, manage tenders, compete and finally award a contract. It is believed that this limits access to Subject Matter Experts and academia which are key to innovation and value for money in procuring research. As such, DSTL would like to establish a contracting framework that provides the ability for controlled access across a pre-qualified industry and academic supplier base through a web based research contracting application known as the R-Cloud (Research-Cloud); the overall aim being to expedite the end-to-end placement of research contracts. DSTL has no current digital service that meets this requirement and seeks to implement a simple yet intuitive web application to provide the required commercial functionality and operation of the framework. The key objectives for the web-application are: • Controlled access for internal and external users • A process and method for pre-qualifying industry suppliers onto R-Cloud • A means of advertising S&T research requirements across 9 key capability areas or Lots • An automated means of inviting suppliers to tender against a research requirement • Access to standard templates and bid material • A vehicle for linking research requirements to supplier capabilities via a known taxonomy • A dynamic framework that provides a faster route to market through the use of modern digital services

title: RM1043 Digital Services - NHSBT Core Systems Transformation

description: NHSBT is at the outset of its journey in modernising the Pulse Core System, entering the Discovery Phase. At the commencement of this project NHSBT will have performed its user needs analysis research (via a series of Lean “Value Stream Analysis” workshops) and developed its overall information flow for the Blood Supply and Tissues Services businesses. At the point of releasing this Customer Specification document, NHSBT has a hypothesis for the future state set of application types and user needs to be fulfilled and a set of indicative user stories. This Discovery Phase is required to create an Information Systems Vision for the business functions currently underpinned by the Pulse System. This Information Systems Vision will fulfill the requirements stated below and will build on research conducted by NHSBT prior to this Discovery Phase start, namely NHSBT’s Value Stream Analysis (Process Flows, Information Flows, User Stories, key Customer, Donor and External Actor personas). The Supplier must augment NHSBT’s team and its responsibilities identified in Roles and Responsibilities section above to: 1. Assemble overall Information Architecture (a Business Information Model) and information processing sequence for Blood Supply and Tissues Value Chains 2. Establish a “platform” view of information management and information technology that cuts across historic process and line of business silos, achieving an overlay of components which establishes a common, shared, distributed and consistent Business Information Model for the enterprise. Techniques which bring this to life and assist with validating completeness such as wire-frames and paper-prototypes are of interest. 3. Identify the most appropriate manner of delivery for information processing needs, principally identification of platforms for: 3.1. Commodities to be outsourced (e.g. data centres, computing) 3.2. Common business capabilities to be fulfilled by packaged products 3.3. Distinct business capabilities to be fulfilled by bespoke products (and delivered, where appropriate in an agile way) 3.4. Business capabilities to be fulfilled by existing software (particularly Pulse) 3.5. An Overall information management scheme aligned to user needs, marrying internal MI capabilities of components with overall BI/Analytics 4. Select components of the overall technology suite to be adopted: 4.1. Packaged product types* 4.2. Development languages and integration methods† 4.3. Database products† 4.4. Infrastructure/hosting and operating systems† For requirements 3 and 4 NHSBT anticipates a method whereby the supplier and NHSBT team set and agree selection criteria (including non-functional and operational requirements) with the Product Owner, identify candidate technologies/product types and select specific technologies. 5. Select technologies with which to modernise retained existing software to assure its sustainability, including development languages, database, operating systems, infrastructure/hosting 6. Identify potential alphas and complete prioritisation 7. Determine appropriate implementation sequencing 8. Estimate cost per component and produce investment case 9. Identify key delivery risks and their mitigation for effective management through post-discovery phases 10. Assure breadth of requirement is addressed. NHSBT recognises the importance in this Discovery Phase of achieving complete coverage of in-scope business functions and user needs rather than just focusing on the apparently highest priority user needs at the outset (as we would do in an Alpha phase for example). Omission of any user need from Discovery Phase activity creates a substantial risk of an entirely missing, incongruous or inextensible component. Accordingly NHSBT wishes a means of establishing velocity during Transformation Discovery that can be used to adjust emphasis of the activity in order to achieve such complete coverage within the available time, even if this be at risk of lower resolution than possible in some areas. 11. Produce interim findings. This report to present the expected conclusion of what “platforms” (see point 2) NHSBT will operate, how these will support the overall Business Information Model and information flows and each significant interim state between current and future. This is required for 16th January to meet a committed checkpoint with Cabinet Office. Roles are planned to be staffed by both NHSBT and the Potential Providers people. NHSBT requires the Potential Provider to effect a transfer of skills/methods to the NHSBT team in order that they can conduct an equivalent Discovery exercise in other NHSBT directorates. * Note, this is not the selection of specific vendors’/open source products, it is the identification of product types upon which separate, later competitive procurements will be run to select specific vendors’/open source products for implementation. Potential Providers for this Transformation Discovery Project must understand or be able to locate the features available amongst such packaged products to be able to assess general product types’ fit with NHSBT’s future operations and information management. † NHSBT requires to identify which development languages, database products, infrastructure and operating systems are the preferred choice for individual bespoke software components, including retained, renewed legacy software (Pulse), to be implemented in phases post Discovery. NHSBT does not wish to identify a specific hosting partner but establish the basic characteristics of a hosted offering that are appropriate to business/user and operational needs. Out of Scope NHSBT does not anticipate prototyping software or user interfaces but acknowledges that a degree of hands-on investigation of certain products/technologies as part of validating their fit with selection criteria set may be proposed.

title: GB-Manchester: Review of the interpretation and effectiveness of equality and human rights law relating to religion or belief

description: The law relating to religion or belief in Britain reflects the protections offered by equality law, which relates to discrimination on grounds of religion or belief, and human rights law, which relates to the freedom of thought, conscience and religion. Other aspects of the law (such as criminal offences, including in relation to stirring up religious hatred), are not within the terms of reference for this project. The aim of this project is to assess how equality and human rights law relating to religion or belief, as it has evolved since the early 2000s, has been interpreted by the domestic courts in Britain, whether or not the law needs amending to ensure that religion or belief rights are protected and balanced with the rights of other protected groups and if so, how. The selected contractor will be required to produce a 10-15,000 word report on the interpretation and effectiveness of the current domestic legislative framework (the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act 1998). The selected contractor will be expected to review the existing legal framework drawing on published studies by academic lawyers, legal practitioners, religion or belief organisations and other bodies (e.g. parliamentary groups). The review should consider such issues as the original drafting of the legislation, how it has been amended and how it has been interpreted by domestic European courts.

title: 7158 Water meadows identification survey

description: English Heritage wishes to commission a project which will carry out a desk-based investigation to determine the extent of traditional floated water meadows in one of the areas of England where very few examples have been recorded, but where some potential for new discoveries can be demonstrated. It will provide information about how prevalent they were and will demonstrate their extent, location and type. The information gained will build upon the knowledge gained from earlier studies in different areas of England and will help English Heritage assess the degree to which water meadows are under-represented in Historic Environment Records. The project will examine a discrete geographical area of England where few water meadows are documented in archaeological records, yet a combination of factors, for example: suitable topographical and geological conditions, documentary references, local observations and/or the presence of large estates held by agricultural ‘improvers’ in the 18th and 19th centuries, demonstrate that water meadow sites may be under-represented. It will result in the production of a formal report giving detailed locational and contextual information, including a synthesis of water meadow distribution and an overview explaining the relationship between the area selected and the water meadow ‘heartlands’ of Wessex. A gazetteer should be provided listing the sites recorded and data collected should be compiled and managed within a GIS environment for use in archaeological record enhancement.
