Care Quality Commission - Customer Journey Mapping Service User Feedback
Status: Awarded
Published Date: 26/05/2015
Closing Date: 07/01/2015
Value: £20,500
Customer Journey Mapping Service User Feedback - Customer Journey Mapping: Service User Feedback Project has been designed to help us look at our current systems and processes through the eyes of members of the public who have experienced poor care, or whose family members have done so, and who contacts us to give us feedback. This could include feedback about any regulated service providers such as hospitals, care homes, home care and GP and dentist surgeries. Through developing a better understanding of the end–to-end experience of giving feedback to CQC; from them deciding to contact us, through to how we handle their feedback and then let them know what has happened as a result; we will be able to redesign our internal systems and processes to deliver a better experience for everyone. There are four groups of people who we want to provide feedback to CQC: i. People who have received a poor service themselves, or whose family member has ii. People who work in a service and witnessed poor service (service whistleblowers) iii. People who want to complain about CQC itself (often after they were in group i) iv. People who work for CQC raising issues about CQC activities (CQC whistleblowers) This project focuses on the first and second groups, but part of the project is to provide the tools for internal resources to be able to conduct future customer journey mapping exercises for the other two groups. Two actual customer experiences will be used as the basis for mapping how it feels to contact CQC - one for poor care received from a provider and the other from a person who has worked in a service and witnessed poor service (a service whistleblower)

UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LTD - UK SBS BLOJEU-CR150039BIS-Assessing the Economic Potential of Tidal Lagoons in the UK
Status: Awarded
Published Date: 20/05/2015
Closing Date: 03/06/2015
Value: £60,000
UK SBS BLOJEU-CR150039BIS-Assessing the Economic Potential of Tidal Lagoons in the UK - Tidal lagoons represent a new approach to using tidal changes to generate low-carbon electricity. They work by utilising the differential between water levels inside and outside a lagoon, created by the rise and fall of the tides, to generate electricity. This involves the construction of a bund wall, which can be connected to the shore that encloses an area of the sea. Water levels are controlled within the lagoon to create the necessary difference to sea level, whereupon gates are opened and water is allowed to flow in and out of the lagoon via turbines installed in the bund wall. Tidal Lagoon Power Ltd (TLP) plans to develop six lagoon power stations in the UK – the first of which is a 320 Megawatt (MW) power station in Swansea Bay which is currently seeking development consent under the Planning Act 2008 (http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/projects/wales/tidal-lagoon-swansea-bay/). There is significant potential for the deployment of tidal lagoons in the UK and tidal lagoon technology could theoretically contribute up to 25TWh/year across the UK (equivalent to 8% of the UK’s electricity consumption in 2013). Although tidal range barrages have been in operation since the 1960s (for example at La Rance, France), there are currently no tidal lagoons generating electricity anywhere in the world. The few existing tidal barrages are also significantly smaller than the tidal lagoon projects which could eventually be deployed in the UK. Tidal lagoons present a novel application of the tidal range technology which has so far been used solely in barrages. At Budget 2015 (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commercial-negotiations-to-start-on-swansea-bay-tidal-lagoon), a decision was announced to enter into the first phase of negotiations on a Contract for Difference1 for Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon (without prejudice to the planning decision on the project). The aim is to determine whether the project is affordable and value for money for consumers, and whether it will drive down costs for tidal lagoon energy in the UK. The outputs of this tender will feed into that process, subject to decisions of Ministers. The development of a UK tidal lagoon industry could have significant potential benefits to the UK economy, which we would like to explore in more detail. In particular – we need to better understand the size of the opportunity for the supply chain from the proposed Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project and wider lagoon programme (and as part of that the potential economic impact on employment, skills, investment and the economy in the UK). The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) is therefore working with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to scrutinise the potential economic impacts in more detail and have an answer to the question: “What are the economic outcomes from the proposed Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon and a wider tidal lagoon programme in the UK?”

THE ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND - Career development opportunities for artists and bands in the contemporary popular music sector
Status: Closed
Published Date: 20/05/2015
Closing Date: 03/06/2015
Value: £30,000
Career development opportunities for artists and bands in the contemporary popular music sector - The current Momentum fund will close at the end of 2015/16. A funding commitment beyond this is not confirmed and we wish to consider how best to continue to address the career development of artists and bands, particularly taking into account other provision and opportunities in order to better address gaps in support. In addition, should further dedicated funding not be available, we wish to consider how best to ensure sustainability of support. For example, to consider how ACE can develop responsibilities and opportunities for artist support within the existing industry, and act as funder via our standard programmes rather than through bespoke funds. In 2013 ACE commissioned a study to establish what type and level support services for artists and bands were available . We now require a piece of research to build on this and explore how well these support services are supporting artists and bands, and what gaps exist in provision.
