title: Impact Of Skills And Training Interventions On The Unemployed: Initial Analysis

description: Understanding the impact of training as an intervention for unemployed people is a key policy question. DWP have increased their focus on retention and progression policies, and there will be changing focus brought by the introduction of Universal Credit in terms of in-work conditionality and progression. BIS has made training for the unemployed a priority and currently provide fully funded provision for unemployed including units and full qualifications up to a Full Level 2. These changes are of significant interest to both the Minister for Employment and the Minister for Skills. The impact of training on the unemployed remains a significant evidence gap despite extensive research into skills and qualifications. Previous studies have focused on employed individuals, due to studies not distinguishing between employed and unemployed people and the limitations in available data. Studies have used different metrics but few have focused on benefit off-flow and employment outcomes.

title: Food Standards Agency FS102100 Benchmark standards for a world-recognised food national surveillance system

description: Tenders are invited to identify two countries whose food surveillance systems are internationally recognised as particularly effective and the key components of the systems that contribute to their effectiveness. In addition, they should identify the extent to which the current arrangements in Scotland (and UK), and any currently planned improvements, reflect the key components identified in the comparator countries as crucial to their effective performance. The intended approach shall be based on a literature review with follow up if necessary through correspondence or other communication with academics or relevant government bodies in the countries identified for benchmarking. Contractors will be given details of contacts within FSA who may be able to suggest lines of enquiry into possible candidate countries, based on experience. Contractors should use any relevant information provided by FSA officials where practicable or should otherwise provide details of the reasons why these were not considered further at the interim FSA meeting. The contractors shall present FSA with details of at least two recommended candidate countries, together with documentary evidence supporting their recommendations, at the interim meeting at the end of September 2014. The contractors may bring evidence of other potential candidates to that meeting. The FSA will agree the candidate countries within 3 working days of the meeting. The contractors will then identify the key components of the two national surveillance systems agreed for comparison and the contribution that each component makes to the effectiveness of the national system; and the extent to which the current arrangements in Scotland (and UK) and any currently planned improvements reflect the key components identified in the two comparator countries. In addition, this should include analysis on the extent to which any key features not currently reflected in Scotland/UK could be applied.

The CCG is looking to improve the Doncaster Unplanned Care System by commissioning redesigned Out of Hours, Walk-in Centre (For unregistered patients) and Emergency Care Practitioner Services. These services are currently commissioned by the CCG and have a collective contract value of circa £4,200,000 per annum.

Any provider who doesn’t secure a slot and who wishes to help develop the approach will have an opportunity to do so remotely.

The 1:1 sessions will take place at the following venue: Sovereign House, Ten Pound walk, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN4 5DJ, On 21st and 22nd May 2014.

title: Provision of guidance on the cost effectiveness and technical feasibility of heat metering

description: Articles 9-11 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive include a number of requirements on the metering and billing of district heating, district cooling, communal heating and/or hot water.

A report on the appropriate method used to assess cost effectiveness and technical feasibility of individual meters and heat cost allocators for all properties connected to heat networks (including non-domestic), and the cost-effectiveness of billing B. A spreadsheet which allows heat network operators to input the data and calculate whether individual meters or heat cost allocators are required for their system, with supporting guidance. C. A report on the field-trial of the methodology and spreadsheet, including how the findings of this have been feed through to the final guidance. D. A handover session and 'how to' guide to updating the spreadsheet to allow DECC or the scheme administrator to revise the guidance periodically. E. Guidance on the technical feasibility of the metering of individual consumption of heating, cooling, hot water, including consideration of hot air systems. F. Supporting guidance for heat network operators and on the technical considerations when installing heat cost allocators. The research will conclude in June 2014. Skills within the contractor team will need to include the ability to develop both an analytical and technical approach, with experience of appropriate analytical projects and in the evaluation of heating technology experience, metering and buildings performance.

title: Systematic Evidence Review of Environmental needs to support Water Abstraction Reform

description: Our water abstraction licensing system was designed more than 50 years ago for a world with less environmental protection, with less demand for water and without climate change. The current system is unsuitable to meet these future challenges. In particular: • The current system is not flexible enough to respond to future pressures such as climate change and population growth; • Abstraction charges do not reflect water availability or encourage efficient use of water; • The system creates barriers to the efficient sharing of water. A key component of understanding the implications of abstraction reform is to understand how the environmental flow component, in a river, is derived and how this applies to abstraction. To do this, a need has been identified to carry out a systematic review of the evidence for the Environmental FIow Indicator to underpin/confirm what is already available and identify if there is new evidence or gaps in evidence that need to be considered. The review should principally explore the impacts of abstraction upon the flow regime and ecology. This project will improve our understanding of the flow needs of ecology and enable us to improve our evidence base to support decisions on how we protect the environment in water resources management under a reformed abstraction licensing system. The outputs from this project will also feed into the wider flow standards review for the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) Cycle 3.

title: Mobile Phone Forensic Solution for British Transport Police

description:
British Transport Police (BTP) need to examine over 2,500 phones annually for material to help for crime investigations through to fatality management.

 The existing equipment still supports some of the old 2 G and 3G phones but its ability to deep trawl these devices and handle any 4g phones is very restrictive.

 The technical capability of phone devices is increasing and BTP need to purchase equipment to keep up with the software and hardware development of mobile handsets.

 BTP need to provide front line operational officers with a device for fast turnaround of phone equipment which can be tailored to individual skill levels to meet training and accreditation standards. This supports divisional and force targets to reduce crime and improve detections.
