City Scale Building Information Modelling - State of the Art Research - Future Cities Catapult has identified significant opportunites in the advancement and further deployment of Building Information Modelling (BIM), and using the data emanating from it for uses other than those which it was designed for (the Architecture, Engineering and Construction sector), including but not limited to: · Accelerating the planning system; · Enhancing the transparency of the planning system; · Enabling detailed visualisation and interrogation of existing building, district and city-scale data; · Enabling detailed visualization and interrogation of future development pipelines scenarios on a district and city-scale · Driving efficiencies in the existing building stock; and · Linking with other data sources and data systems in the urban environment. With BIM Level 3 now heavily promoted by government on one hand, and a strong push to create ‘smart cities’ through digitization, data analytics and further transparency on the other, the synergy between these two areas presents significant opportunities. However, whilst the takeup of BIM, and advancaments into BIM Level 3 is steady in the construction and transport industry, other city systems lag behind using analogue and two dimensional data systems and visualisation. 1.1 As part of the Future of Planning programme, Future Cities Catapult wishes to commission research to understand the current state of the art, potential scenarios for the evolution of BIM, the likely skills required to support the evolution of BIM and the technical interoperability of BIM with other digital city systems. The research will: · Develop a picture of current leading practice in the use of BIM levels 1 & 2 by UK and global companies, SMEs and Local Auhotrities, in particular but not limited to uses in city planning; · Develop potential scenarios for the use of BIM level 3, 4 and 5 in the future city; · Develop a minimal-BIM framework – our early insights into BIM for smart city use cases suggest that 1) the creation of partial BIM models for existing buildings will be important 2) that not all components of a BIM model will be necessary or useful for this; · Conduct a technical assessment of the interoperability of BIM with other digital city systems, including but notlimited to: o IoT standards and frameworks; o 3D visualisations models and frameworks; o Other software architectures including; and Conduct a light touch assessment of the potential to use BIM models as part of UK planning system, in particular where data contained in or visualisations of BIM models relate directly or indirectly that required by planning applications or the development of local plans. The successful Bidder may wish to employ a combination of: · Desk Research; · Interviews; · Workshops with Future Cities Catapult and other experts.

UOW555 Master planning Severn Campus to create the International Centre for Inclusive Sport, Physical Activity and Health - The University has recently acquired a number of brownfield sites adjacent to its University of Worcester Arena and Riverside buildings. Our intention is to create a new ‘Severn Campus’ which will be the home of the International Centre for Inclusive Sport, Physical Activity and Health. The University is seeking to appoint a firm of consultants, or a consortium, to provide master-planning, architecture, open space/landscaping and services infrastructure design and initial structural advice to support and inform the preparation of a masterplan for the site and the submission of an outline planning application. This procurement exercise will also include the option to extend the scope of services and appoint the successful bidder as Architect (Lead Designer) for this project. The University reserves the right to increase the scope of services in accordance with this option to extend.

PP15029a Review and Strategy for Car Park Provision in Wolverhampton City Centre - <b><u>Background </u></b> Wolverhampton City Council is leading on the major regeneration of the City centre. A number of significant development opportunities will be coming forward over the next 20 years and the Council needs to understand the implications of such large scale regeneration on the requirements for parking in the City Centre. Dialogue with local businesses, soft market testing for Westside and Southside and the feedback at a Developer Conference held in October 2014, has highlighted the need for a review of car parking and a strategy for car parking in the City Centre. The need for, and commitment to, this review and strategy is also included in the Draft City Centre Area Action Plan supporting evidence documents, and has been subject to extensive press coverage and local concern over recent months. In 2011 the Council commissioned a baseline survey of car parking which will require updating. Currently car parking in the City centre is provided by some multi storey car parks and surface level parking .This is owned by the Council and private sector, with much of the Council ownership in temporary use. The multi storey car park at the railway station is to be extended as part of the Interchange project. <b><u>Objectives and context</u></b> The objective of the commission is to provide the Council and its partners with an evidence based assessment of the changing car-parking requirements in the City centre. It will provide the Council with the framework to determine the location, quantum and type of car parking required in the future as the regeneration of the City Centre takes place.
