RDE486 Water situation report mapping tool enhancement - RDE486 Sublot 5.2 The ArcGIS projects currently used by national Water Resources Hydrology and area operational Hydrology teams to produce water situation reports use VBA code to operate the macros within them. VBA has been phased out by ESRI for use in ArcGIS and as such is no longer supported. This requires the current macros to be re-written in Python 3 so that they are compatible with future versions of ArcGIS, with the immediate goal of moving into ArcGIS Pro rather than ArcGIS desktop. This contract was awarded by the Environment Agency.

Brand Proposition Development - We are looking for an agency to develop a name, narrative and visual identity for the Nature Cities & Towns (working title) partnership initiative. The initiative brings together 3 founding partners - the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Natural England, and the National Trust. Together, the partners will offer cities and towns across the UK the tools and support that they need to take ambitious action for nature, and for their populations. It is our intention to grow a network of key partners, starting with Natural England's sister agencies in the devolved nations. Working together with local authorities and cross-sector partners, the programme aims to make sure everyone has access to quality natural spaces a few minutes' walk from home and is able to spend time outdoors in nature every day. Community needs and engagement will be at the heart of the changes made to achieve this. And the towns and cities emerging will be better connected, more resilient to climate change, naturally flourishing, growing greener economies and jobs. This partnership builds on, and expands, the Future Parks Accelerator partnership between the National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Trust. This programme worked across 8 places in the UK to rethink the role urban green space can play in building a sustainable future for towns and cities. Over the first 3 years, the programme will: • Bring together a collaborative network of ambitious places • Equip the network with tools and support to make change happen • Run a capacity-building grants programme for ~20 recipient places • Launch an accreditation scheme so places can verify their progress and assure funders and investors • Attract external investment in places and develop wider incentives for long term change This contract will be delivered in two stages: • Stage 1: April to July 2024 - research and development of the brand name and narrative, to bring us to a "soft launch" moment planned for July • Stage 2: July 2024 - Jan 2025 - developing and testing visual identity routes including logos, alignment with existing partner identities, graphics etc Please see the full brief for this commission for further detail. Submission process The tender response should include details of the following (scoring in brackets): • Outline of your proposed approach to brand development - including how you would approach the phasing, and partnership aspects (35%) • Description of your relevant experience, including examples of at least two pieces of similar work (35%) • Proposed budget breakdown (30%) • Details of any matters or concerns not covered by this brief. Proposals should not exceed 10 pages in length. Submitting a proposal more than 10 pages will automatically result in the rejection of the proposal.

SF-6 Evaluation Lifecycle - SF6 is a greenhouse gas which is widely used in the network equipment, e.g., switchgear for insulation and quenching the arc generated when switching or opening electrical circuits. SF6 is leaked from old or malfunctioning of equipment and contributes greatly to global warming. This contract seeks to provide insights and to develop a better understanding of a likely increased use of SF6 in the overall energy sector because of Net Zero transition. It is anticipated that in the absence of reliable and cost-effective alternates to SF6 based equipment, particularly at medium/high voltage levels, new SF6 based equipment (switchgear and insulated cables) are likely to be used in large numbers, in new generation, new connections, new transmission and distribution networks and new interconnectors. Even though network companies are committed to reduce the leakage and use of SF6 equipment. However, the scale of transformation required to reach Net Zero, may hinder the use of SF6 alternates, causing long term environmental issues. The study will seek to fill the knowledge gap and help Ofgem understand how the existing use of SF6 will change with time, because of increased electrification, multiplied offshore wind generation and interconnectors, while working towards Net Zero. There is a need to take a holistic approach (covering all aspects of the energy sector) and an attempt at quantification, potentially through combining different data sets (e.g. energy system data and existing SF6 equipment inventory).
