British Council Arts: Online Audience Analysis Pilot: Focus countries: Kenya, China - AWARD - We are seeking to appoint an experienced research supplier that can demonstrate its capability, capacity and the ability to work at speed across a complex range of partners and stakeholders to deliver this research commission over the next 4 months. The objective of this research is to understand the qualitative online behaviour of the British Council's primary target audiences when engaging with arts & cultural content online, with a focus on two key markets: Kenya & China. For this study "art & culture online" or "digital art & culture" refers to content about contemporary arts (ie. film, music, literature, architecture, design, fashion, visual art, dance, theatre, digital art) that is consumed via social media platforms, video and streaming platforms, web apps, mobile apps, or other online platforms (ie. Twitch, discord, whatsapp etc).

BE24104 - Adapting UK's Farmed Landscape LAN Deep Dive - The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is an independent, statutory body established under the Climate Change Act 2008. Our purpose is to advise the UK and devolved governments on emissions targets and to report to Parliament on progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for and adapting to the impacts of climate change.    The UK Climate Change Act 2008 requires that every five years, the UK government must publish a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). The CCRA seeks to provide an authoritative and up-to-date assessment of the risks and opportunities facing the UK from climate change. The Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) Government Report is due to be published in January 2027. As with CCRA2 and CCRA3 it will be based on an Independent Assessment that the CCC has been commissioned by Defra to lead; this will be published in mid-2026. As part of CCRA4, the CCC will be developing a new output to complement the Technical Report. This output - to be known as the 'Well-adapted UK report'- will aim to set out a vision of what a well-adapted UK could look like, and the investment requirements to reach it. This will go on to support the development of effective actions in the next set of national adaptation programmes from governments across the UK. The 'Well-adapted UK' report will be informed by a set of commissioned, bespoke analysis projects, in-house CCC analysis and wider external evidence. The proposal outlined below will form one of the commissioned projects to inform this report. We expect this analysis to go out to tender in May 2024 and is due to be completed by summer 2025, to feed into CCRA4 in 2026. Potential project This piece of analysis will look to explore climate risk and adaptation in the UK's farmed landscapes with a focus on the adaptation interventions that can reduce climate risks to these landscapes, whilst also providing wider ecosystem and societal benefits. As farmed land covers over 70% of the UK and produces around 50% of food that we eat, adaptation on farmland represents an important element of ensuring the UK's is resilient under a changing climate. However, there remains a lack of analysis - at a national and local scale - that explores the cost and effectiveness of adaptation interventions within farmed landscapes that will address climate risks to food production and support nature targets, whilst also providing wider ecosystem and societal benefits. The working draft of an 'exam question' for this analysis will be: 'For 3 contrasting land use archetypes (upland, lowland and coastal) assess what adaptation interventions can cost effectively reduce climate impacts to farmed landscapes and support UK food production, whilst meeting legally binding nature restoration targets'.

Human Machine Teaming - Enabling Framework (702953450) - Re-opening April 2024 - THIS ADVERT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARTICIPANTS TO JOIN THE EXTANT HMT FRAMEWORK ORIGINALLY RELEASED QUARTER 2 2022 (REFERENCE: 702953450). IF YOU ARE ALREADY A PARTICIPANT WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THIS PROCESS. THIS PQQ/ITT PROCESS IS FOR NEW ENTRANTS TO THE FRAMEWORK ONLY. The Human Machine Teaming (HMT) framework focusses on experimentation activity and small-scale procurement of Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS), enabling rapid iterations, across the full stack of potential capabilities. The framework has a 3-year duration (1 year remaining) with a 12-month option to extend the duration out to March 2026, and has a headroom of £300M. Any competition will be delivered by the Expeditionary Robotics Centre of Expertise (ERCoE) using the Future Capability Innovation (FCI) (previously Future Capability Group) with sufficient framework headroom, to complete iterative spiral development of technological solutions and support/scale those solutions where required. A power point presentation has been included in the PQQ which outlines some of the anticipated requirements that may be competed via the framework in the next 12 months. This has been added to facilitate potential providers in evaluating their suitability for the framework. The requirements detailed in the next step presentation are indicative and subject to change. Framework participation will be subject to successfully completing a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and Invitation to Tender (ITT) process. This will commence with the publication of the PQQ for Human Machine Teaming through the DSP. *PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING* The above advert is a re-opening of the HMT Framework (Reference: 702953450). If you are already a participant within this framework you do not need to complete this process. This PQQ/ITT process is for new entrants to the framework only.

Research Services : Research on UK Defined Contribution Pension Scheme Default Investment Strategies - ***THIS IS CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE*** The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) regulates auditors, accountants and actuaries and sets the UK's Corporate Governance and Stewardship Codes. We seek to promote transparency and integrity in business; our work is aimed at investors and others who rely on company accounts, audit, and high-quality risk management. The FRC sets and regularly reviews Actuarial Standard Technical Memorandum 1: Statutory Money Purchase Illustrations ("AS TM1"). AS TM1 specifies the assumptions and methods to be used in the calculation of statutory illustrations of retirement income from 'money purchase' pensions, also known as 'defined contribution' (DC) pensions. AS TM1 requires these illustrations to use assumptions that differ depending on the volatility of the funds in which the DC pension is invested. For a UK Defined Contribution ('DC') pension scheme the selection of the default investment strategy that is offered to scheme members is one of the most important decisions for pension scheme decision-makers. This is because many/most scheme members will follow the default strategy, particularly individuals without the financial knowledge and/or confidence to make an active choice. UK DC schemes typically use a form of 'lifestyle' strategy for the default fund, whereby the investment strategy for an individual changes over time depending on how far away they are from retirement age. We understand there are a wide range of different types of 'lifestyle' strategy used by UK pension funds. We have commissioned this research in order to better understand the strategies used, to inform our policy-making activities in relation to the assumptions and methods as set out in AS TM1. This research project is separate from the current review of the accumulation rate assumptions in AS TM1 v5.0 which was consulted on in November 2023; rather it is intended to inform and support the FRC's longer term strategy and decision-making in relation to AS TM1. This research project will involve data collection and analysis to provide information on the default investment strategies currently offered by UK DC pension schemes, noting that common practice for default DC investment strategies has evolved, particularly since 'pension freedoms' were introduced in 2015. This data and analysis will support the FRC in setting actuarial standards that are appropriate for the current environment of UK DC pension schemes. • The project's core objective is to understand the nature of the various default investment strategies provided to UK scheme members and provide the FRC with statistically significant data on this. • As a second objective, we are also seeking an understanding of why those strategies are provided to scheme members. The FRC does not anticipate bids exceeding £54,000 incl. VAT. ***THIS IS CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE - THIS TENDER OPPORTUNITY IS CLOSED***
