Notice Title

Noise and Nuisance ad hoc Technical Support

Notice Description

The Contractor will be required to provide, on an ad hoc basis, timely, high quality, specialist technical support. Under the Contract, the Authority offers no guarantees of any minimum level of work over the Contract duration. Given the nature of central government work, and particularly the need to work with OGDs, whose policies frequently impact on noise and nuisance issues, the team often has to intervene or comment on policies with very little notice. Work could consist of reviewing policy proposals or contributing to briefing materials for Ministerial Submissions, Westminster Hall debates or Ministerial Correspondence. Consequently, the appointed Contractor will be required, on occasion, to respond very rapidly to urgent requests . Tasks are expected to include (but are not limited to): Provision of technical review comments, policy-attuned appraisal, advice and opinion or sense-checking on documents or reports. Assistance with Ministerial and Departmental correspondence or Parliamentary Question responses by providing technical & legislative information and/ or knowledge gained from practical experience. Technical, policy-attuned advice in terms of identifying and reporting new developments and initiatives in acoustic/statutory nuisance research and the impact these may have on domestic legislation, government policy and associated standards and guidance. Monitoring relevant developments and initiatives of international bodies, DAs, OGDs, other government agencies and local authorities and proactively alerting the Authority and, if required, providing policy-attuned appraisal and information. Carrying out preliminary research projects, analysis, evidence gathering and/or scoping work to inform early stage policy development, public consultations, impact assessments, potential research plans or policy implementation plans. Provision of modelling or other related analytical services. Assistance with the delivery of research projects, including drafting evidence project specifications, participating in project oversight panels, reviewing and commenting on draft reports or peer reviewing draft or published reports or research papers. Carry out appraisal, assessments and/or reviews of health impact research and economic appraisal of health impacts and policy options. Attending conferences and similar events and preparing briefings on presentations and/or papers presented and/or question and answer sessions. Accompanying officials to the relevant meetings to provide immediate technical advice and information or expert opinion.
