Business Energy and Industrial Strategy - Maintaining and Supporting the Dynamic Dispatch Model
Status: Awarded
Published Date: 21/09/2017
Closing Date: 04/08/2017
Value: £95,000
Maintaining and Supporting the Dynamic Dispatch Model - BEIS is looking for a contractor to provide ongoing maintenance and support for the Dynamic Dispatch Model to ensure BEIS analysts can use the model effectively to meet policy needs, to provide ad-hoc model development and to ensure changes to the model are properly tested and integrated. Description: The contract has two main objectives: • Improving the in-house DDM capability and expertise, and in particular up-skilling in-house model developers. • Extracting better value from the model by implementing improvements, including model run-time improvements, and addressing risks early. The contract will cover support and training for DDM in-house expert users to assist them in setting up inputs, creating output templates, and resolving technical issues with the working environment. The project will also cover the development and roll-out of small and medium scale upgrades. The contractor will be responsible for dealing with issues that cannot be resolved by the in-house team, for providing training and for providing expert tailored support. As part of user support, contractors will be expected to set up their own systems to develop and test extensions and upgrades to the model. A range of different skills are required for this research. The following skills are considered particularly important for this work. • Expertise in the GB power sector • Expertise in software development and testing, preferably in the context of energy modelling • Expertise in C# programming • Understanding and meeting user requirements in a software development context. • Understanding and meeting user requirements in a model development context. • Mathematical and statistical modelling. • Ability to provide clear reporting and documentation of software functionality, model assumptions and any other relevant information. • Applying sound quality assurance processes and procedures to minimise modelling and input errors and to ensure model outputs are robust; • Training and coaching

HS2 - Health by Design Assurance Methodology
Status: Awarded
Published Date: 23/08/2017
Closing Date: 22/05/2017
Value: £159,759
Health by Design Assurance Methodology - A contract has been awarded to Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) to support HS2 Ltd in the development of Health by Design assurance methodology and provide training and support to HS2 Ltd personnel who are involved in the design assurance process. HS2 Ltd's construction contractors are required to implement a 'health by design' methodology to support HS2 Ltd's Safe at Heart health commitments. This will run parallel with Safe by Design as a requirement under CDM 2015. There will be a joint approach to the use of BIM, especially in relation to the H&S File. Safe by Design is an established industry practice, whereas Health by Design is not. Therefore, a discovery exercise is required to define a methodology and mapping exercise to support how HS2 Ltd will assure the supply chain's implementation of its Health by Design commitments. There is also a requirement to identify how HS2 Ltd will future proof the methodology using technologies such as BIM and to define how HS2 Ltd will calculate whole life health costs. Once the assurance methodology and mapping exercise have been defined, a programme of training and education will be developed and delivered to the construction, engineering and costing managers at HS2 Ltd. To deliver against these requirements, HS2 Ltd intends to award two consecutive contracts: • Health by Design Phase 1: Discovery phase - develop the methodology and design and deliver training for HS2 Ltd staff. • Health by Design Phase 2: Build phase - using the methodology developed, build the tools required to support Health by Design assurance. This Contract Award Notice is for Health by Design Phase 1 contract. HS2 intends to invite tenders for the Health by Design Phase 2 contract later this year.

Technical Programme Management and Insights Consultancy Services For BIM Level 3 Consultation - An integral part of the Industrial Strategy "Construction 2016 - 2020 is HM Government's Digital Built Britain (DBB) Strategy published in February 2015. The strategy brings together the Business and Professional Services Strategy, the Smart Cities Strategy and the Information Economy Strategy to provide a consistent vision regarding the creation of a high performing and transparent economy that efficiently delivers services to all its citizens. DBB seeks to develop the next generation of standards (known as BIM Level 3) which aims to further improve efficiency by providing a more advanced data infrastructure, better management of transactions and the inclusion of performance information from sensors to optimise not only the delivery of the asset, but its operation and functional performance. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. BIMs are files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be extracted, exchanged or networked to support decision-making regarding a building or other built asset. Current BIM software is used by individuals, businesses and government agencies who plan, design, construct, operate and maintain diverse physical infrastructures, such as water, refuse, electricity, gas, communication utilities, roads, bridges, ports, tunnels, etc. The successful supplier will provide BIM technical programme management and insight consultancy services, responsible to the client team for managing the day-to-day activities in fulfilment of the objectives and achievement of the programme vision, timescales and budget with the necessary support assistance. The services will provide market and BIM expertise, formation of the Client Group and Extended Client Group, coordinate research activities and manage the dissemination of findings.

Viability Data Platform - Concept Development Consultancy Services - Viability assessments are significant battleground between developers and local planning authorities, with lawyers and consultants expensively mediating. At the heart of viability assessments is data. Data about the costs of development and the likely receipts from development. The Caatpult proposed developing a 'viability platform' which can be accessed by both public and private sector should reduce the time and friction involved in the planning and negotiation process, as well as bringing greater transparency to the development industry. We are seeking concepts for systems or platforms that will aim to make better use of the data already available as part of viability appraisals, as well as potentially automating elements of the process of producing viability assessments. The Service requirements include: Assessment of data sources - including but not limited to - what are the main datasets used to build viability assessments, in what format are they held, who holds them, can they be automatically collected via an API, what do they cost to acquire (single case - mass purchase) Assessment of rules and methodologies - including but not limited to - what rules and methodologies govern the viability assessment; what are the main economic and statistical modelling/forecasting approaches applied to the data. Concept Development - Using (but not limited by) the above spectrum of use cases, outline the technical feasibility, user desirability and economic viability of building a viability data platform to meet the needs of developers, planning authorities and citizens. This phase should develop a small number of concepts, from which the client will select one preferred concept. Preferred concept specification - For the preferred concept, develop an outline technical specification and business case, including estimated build cost, compliance costs (ie cost of change from Business as Usual). The deliverables include: Datasets, rules and methodology assessment report Concept long list Preferred concept specification
