Concessionary Travel Applications Decision Maker

Department for Transport
The appeals casework is demand-led depending on the number of appeals submitted each year by bus operators. The contract awarded for this work will cover appeals from 2024/25 to 2026/27, as well as a small number of remaining appeals from previous years. DfT have recently updated the reimbursement guidance and calculator, which may potentially lead to an initial increased number of appeals in 2024/25, and possibly 2026/27. DfT are also undertaking a review of the appeals process, in order to ensure that it is up to date and works as well as possible. The Decision Maker will be kept informed on any updates to the appeals process. We do not expect changes to the core requirement below.5.2 The criteria required to be met for this contract are set out below. Bidders will need to demonstrate in their proposal examples of how and when they have employed these skills to enable the Department to assess the Decision Maker’s skills:5.2.1 The Decision Maker will be required to analyse evidence submitted by bus operators and TCAs and to make a judgement that will determine the level of reimbursement due.5.2.2 In reviewing the evidence submitted, the Decision Maker will need to be able to identify and resolve any legal issues raised.5.2.3 The Decision Maker will be expected to familiarise themselves with the latest version of DfT’s reimbursement guidance and reimbursement calculator and make use of this alongside any other robust additional evidence provided by operators and TCAs. 5.2.4 Quality assurance of the Decision Maker’s analysis will be provided by DfT economists and lawyers.5.2.5 Legislation gives the Decision Maker powers to hold an oral hearing to bring both parties to an appeal before them to give evidence, although it is at the Decision Maker's discretion whether to do so, as there is currently no obligation to hold an oral hearing.5.2.6 For each appeal case, the Decision Maker will be required to complete a written determination report following quality assurance of the Decision Maker’s analysis and by DfT economists and lawyers. When a determination of an appeal is complete the Contract Manager will forward this document to both parties involved in the appeal.5.2.7 The Decision Maker may be required to comment on revisions made by the Department’s officials to its reimbursement guidance and reimbursement calculator.5.2.8 The Decision Maker may be required to suggest improvements to concessionary travel guidance and the appeals process, or to assist with any reviews of the guidance.5.2.9 The Decision Maker may be required to attend meetings with external stakeholders. This could include reimbursement training and/or feedback sessions with local authorities and/or bus operators.5.3 For accountability and consistency purposes, the Decision Makers will need to be nominated individuals. Proposals should therefore make clear which individual is being put forward for the role and provide relevant information with a Curriculum Vitae clearly showing the nominated person’s experience.5.4 Under the current legislation, bus operators are required to submit appeals within 56 days of the commencement or variation of concessionary travel schemes in TCA areas. As concessionary travel schemes usually commence from 1st April each year, this means the volume of the appeals caseload for that year is usually known by 27th May. However, it should be noted that negotiations between both parties continue throughout the appeals process and often lead to agreement and withdrawal of the appeal before determination is required.5.5 Based on past appeals volumes, we estimate that an experienced Decision Maker would take on average, between three and five days to complete a standard case. However, if the issues are complex, or the Decision Maker is new to the subject area, it may take longer to complete a case.5.6 The appointed Decision Maker will receive

CPI may require external advice on specialist forms of engineering contracts, for example in relation to the design and/or build of industrial and/or process plant under the NEC/JCT suite of contracts and/or similar industry standard forms. This includes legal advice in relation to practical aspects of their management, which is key to how such forms of contract work. A practical understanding of the day-to-day operation of these specialist standard forms of agreement "on the ground" and in an engineering context is key, as is a pragmatic and creative approach to problem solving and dispute avoidance / resolution. CPI is often engaged with large infrastructure projects with elements of construction which range from alteration or refit to current premises (for example converting offices to laboratory space) to full New Build of industrial and research facilities. We regularly use JCT and NEC standard forms of contract. As such we may require advice relating to construction and engineering works.

NEX23/59 Legal Services for the Washington Metro Loop
UK
Newcastle upon Tyne
Nexus
Nexus requires suitably qualified and experienced legal advisors, who will be appointed to a zero-value eight-year framework to support Nexus on a project to plan, construct, commission and operate passenger services on the Washington Metro Loop (WML). Subject to approval of the Outline Business Case (OBC) by Government in due course, the legal retainer is expected to encompass the advice required to (i) prepare the content of the OBC; (ii) implement the agreed strategies set out in the OBC; (iii) deliver the OBC strategies and, in turn, commence operations on the WML in years ahead. The exact scope of work during the framework term will be subject to the timely progress of the project.The legal advisors will be required to have strong levels of recent experience across rail infrastructure projects, including but not limited to experience in the following areas:• Strategies in connection with land acquisition and consents;• Planning matters including permitted development rights in a rail context;• Rail regulatory matters including licensing, consents and communications with regulatory bodies;• Rail operations;• Interfaces with Network Rail as a key delivery partner in the project, to include areas such as infrastructure management, track access, station leases and train operations;• Project governance and communications with project stakeholders including local authority and combined authority partners, DfT and MHCLG among others;• Project funding;• Procurement, with the potential need for additional rolling stock as part of the project deliverables;• Environmental and/or social issues connected with the project;• Rail construction and engineering contracts; and• Project insurances.The WML ProjectThe WML is currently funded by the North East Combined Authority (NECA) but the aspiration is it will become a flagship project of the North East Mayoral Combined Authority (NEMCA) following the election of a North East mayor in May 2024.The WML aims to enhance connectivity and accessibility across the South of Tyne and Wearside area through the restoration of former railway alignments including the Leamside Line. Closed to passenger services in 1964 before becoming entirely disused approximately 30 years later, the Leamside Line connects with the East Coast Mainline and Durham Coast Line at Tursdale and Pelaw respectively. However, it is important to note that the Washington Metro Loop would only require reinstatement of part of the Leamside Line, from Pelaw to north of Penshaw, and not its full opening. Any involvement of the Washington Metro Loop in the further reinstatement of the Leamside Line is likely to be limited to inclusion of passive provision for heavy rail traffic and management of project interfaces where necessary, and that is reflected in the scope of this framework let.The Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC) for the project states constructing the WML would bring economic, societal, and environmental benefits to the area by:• Creating nearly 8 million additional passenger journeys per year;• Giving Washington - the fourth largest town without access to a rail service - new connections across Tyne and Wear;• Reducing carbon emissions by nearly 87,000 tonnes per year;• Providing reliable and resilient travel;• Focusing on places in need of 'levelling up'; and• Increasing the feeling of 'pride in place' and putting locations 'back on the map'.The Washington Metro Loop will link existing stations at Pelaw and South Hylton via Washington. The OBC will also review options for further extensions enabling direct services to South Shields from Washington and Sunderland respectively. The project will require track works, new stations, additional services, signalling and traction power. Three station locations have been earmarked on the WML although the number an

The Evaluation of Market Ready agricultural Technology Options (TEMaRTO)
UK
London
Defra Network eTendering Portal
The Delivering Clean Growth through Sustainable Intensification (CGSI) project has been critical in developing a rigorous, evidence-based decarbonisation pathway for agriculture that demonstrates compliance with the 5th and 6th carbon budget (CB) periods. This work directly informed development of the Carbon Budget Delivery Plan (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, 2023) and planning for Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) standards.<br/><br/>In preparation for the legal establishment of CB7 (2038 to 2042) it is time to refresh and update the evidence of the CGSI. We propose that this refresh looks to build on the successes of CGSI by filling evidence gaps around currently unquantified or exploratory measures in the CBDP, identify new mitigation technologies and innovations, refresh the trajectory in preparation for CB7, and explore potential for a long-term service agreement to test and implement evidence-based policy decisions. In advance, the successful contractor will receive a list of the unquantified/exploratory measures (also found in the published Net Zero growth plan), but also encouraged to explore other alternative emerging solutions. The refresh should adopt and enforce Maximum Technical Potential (MTP), ensuring the MTPs given for each measure are robust and credible. (MTP represents the maximum carbon savings that would be possible if we ignore limitations of cost, logistics and other non-market barriers). In reality the effective potential will be significantly lower or take longer than 30 years to deliver (i.e., not necessarily contributing to the 2050 target).

UK
BELFAST
Department of Finance
This contract will be for the supply of 100 per cent green Unmetered Electricity for a maximum term of two years. The anticipated commencement date shall be 1st April 2024. The Contract will be utilised by the following clients: • Department for Infrastructure (DfI); • NI Water (NIW); • The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI); • Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE); and • Translink Each Client will be wholly responsible for the performance of its obligations under the contract. As CPD and its Clients are committed to the Central Government Energy Management Strategy and Action Plan to 2030 Contractors must provide 100 per cent green electricity. This commits all Central Government bodies to reduce costs and consumption consistent with draft Programme for Government (PFG) indicators on greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing security of supply. This is delivered through a target to reduce net energy consumption by 30 per cent by 2030 and to spend no more on energy in 2030 as we do today. In addition Department for Economy (DfE) has published an issues paper considering how best to advance proposals for an energy strategy that will enable new and challenging decarbonisation targets to be met. Not least among these is the UK Government legal requirement to achieve “net zero carbon” by 2050. Further details on this initiative can be found at https://www.economy-ni.gov.uk/energy-strategy-call-for-evidence and https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-becomes-first-major-economy-to-pass-net-zero-emissions-law DfI has embarked on a street lighting LED retrofit programme to replace existing sodium street lighting units with LED ones resulting in reduced consumption as the year progresses. Consequently, the retrofit projects will have an impact on this contract as they will have a direct effect on the consumption of unmetered electricity. The rates submitted must be honoured for the duration of the contract despite the likelihood of a reduction in the annual usage, the supplier should take this into consideration when submitting their response.
