NHM Data Improvements

Description: The objective of this work is to gather business waste profile data, ideally collected from surveys, from a sample of NI business units to record their on-site waste provision. We would expect this work to be carried out in person using WRAP's pre-populated questionnaire. Bidders are expected to undertake fieldwork and make on-site records of service provision, although additional approaches to improve data quality can be considered. Improved bottom-up data from site assessments will be added to the current dataset that WRAP has from previous years. Improved baseline data will help WRAP better inform the government of realistic impacts of proposed policies in achieving the Circular Economy Package (CEP) 65%+ municipal recycling target (by 2025), including both and the Climate Change Act (CCA) 70% recycling target (by 2030).

Summary: Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) is commissioning business waste profile data collection from a sample of business units in Northern Ireland. The work involves gathering information on each site’s on-site waste provision, ideally through in-person surveys and site assessments. The successful supplier will use WRAP’s pre-populated questionnaire to undertake fieldwork and make on-site records of the services and facilities in place. The resulting bottom-up data will be added to WRAP’s existing dataset from previous years. Its purpose is to improve the baseline used to assess the likely effects of government policies, including the Circular Economy Package recycling target and the Climate Change Act recycling target. This is a market and economic research, polling and statistics service (CPV 79300000), delivered across Northern Ireland.

Autonomous Site Perimeter Patrolling using Quadrupeds

Description: UKAEA, under the RAICo Programme, wishes to investigate the operational benefits of autonomous robotic perimeter patrolling to improve situational awareness and reduce the need for routine personnel patrolling. The requirements relate to deployment and demonstration of a Proof of Concept for Autonomous Perimeter Patrolling using Spot from Boston Dynamics. The objective is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of robotic autonomy in supporting the protection and monitoring of UKAEA's site, including critical infrastructure assets. The purpose of this procurement is to appoint a Contractor to design, configure, deploy and demonstrate a proof-of-concept solution. The appointed Contractor may utilise commercial off-the-shelf components to support the delivery of this work.

Summary: The UK Atomic Energy Authority is procuring services to design, configure, deploy and demonstrate a proof-of-concept autonomous perimeter-patrolling solution using Spot, the quadruped robot from Boston Dynamics. The work is part of the RAICo Programme and will investigate whether robotic autonomy can improve situational awareness, support protection and monitoring, and reduce the need for routine personnel patrols. The solution will be intended for use around the UKAEA site, including critical infrastructure assets. The scope includes industrial robotics, programming, software configuration and software testing. Commercial off-the-shelf components may be used to support delivery. This is a technology demonstration and feasibility exercise rather than a requirement for routine manned security or general facilities management services.

HiCrIS Full Design & Build

Description: The following summary is not intended as a complete or definitive specification of the requirement. A purpose of this engagement is to seek information from the market to help refine our understanding and aid the development of a future specification. The Hi-CrIS project is being developed under the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) programme. STEP plasma will be confined by electromagnets based on high temperature superconductors (SC). These magnetic components will form a substantial part of the STEP Prototype Powerplant (SPP) and represent ~25% of the total cost. With such a substantial element of the SPP being represented by the magnetic components, it is critical to have confidence in the lifetime predictions of the down-selected magnets. To achieve this, investigations of down-selected superconductor (SC) material samples are (read more...)
