Lot Information
Lot 1
ACE is seeking a suitably qualified service provider, consortium or contractor (which may be a joint venture comprising of a number of suppliers, or a prime contractor that may sub-contract certain elements of the services) to deliver its ER programme. This programme will reflect ACE's commitment to ER and in embedding the ERIP as a positive model for sectoral development. The provider(s) will create, deliver and evaluate the programme as the main environmental partner(s) for ACE. The programme will include, and therefore the successful provider(s) should be able to supply: 1)Environmental data tool and support. This should be available (as a minimum) to all NPO. The tool is expected to allow for historical (annual) data collection and forecasting, and if possible support the collection of qualitative data. Data - in its widest sense - is a key part of the ERIP model. The service should include the provision of technical support, which may include a helpdesk, alongside guidance materials, webinars etc. on how to use the tool. The supplier should also support users to use the data effectively, for example guides on best practice or how data can inform environmental policy, strategies or action plans. The collected data should be available directly to the submitting organisation as both raw data and through insights reporting (dashboards, reports etc.), as well as appropriately anonymised versions made publicly available on a regular or annual basis. The system must be fully functional and in operation by 1 April 2023. Any required system development, testing and onboarding must be scheduled to take place before this date. 2)Sector development and/or leadership programme(s). One or more programmes that demonstrate meaningful progression within the sector and reflect the core values of the ERIP. 3)Sector wide engagement programme. Selected access to tools, resources and training for the cultural and creative sector beyond ACE's NPO. This is to support the ambitions of sector development in line with the ERIP. This could include, for example: carbon literacy training, upskilling and/or workforce development, or an accessible carbon calculator and resources on how to develop environmental actions for individuals or organisations that are not regularly funded. 4)ACE support and consultation. Provision of support to ACE including training, consultancy and maintenance of its own Action Plan and Policy. 5)Evaluation and Advocacy. The provider should have methodologies to evaluate and share progress across the above strands. This could include sector surveys, use of data gained from tools, case studies and/or other feedback loops. Sharing of evaluation could delivered through an annual report or other means, but should demonstrate progress and success in line with the expectations of the ERIP. The systems, tools and process to deliver the above must be fully agreed, functional and in operation by 1 April 2023. Any required system development, testing and onboarding must be scheduled to take place before this date.
