The education estate comprises approximately 69,000 buildings across more than 22,000 schools and colleges in England. It includes a range of construction types and structural components, many of which are concealed while buildings are in use. DfE continuously seeks to improve its understanding of construction materials and structural arrangements used in school and college buildings. This is essential as these buildings age, have increasing maintenance requirements and will be impacted by climate change. DfE uses this knowledge to prioritise investment in the estate, inform policy and project-specific decisions,and ensure interventions such as retrofit, renewal or rebuilding are appropriately targeted. It also supports the review and development of reliable and proportionate guidance for those responsible for operating educational buildings. Buildings due for demolition through the Schools Rebuilding Programme (SRP) offer a rich source of informationas they are typically included in the programme because of safety issues or severe condition need, including structural defects. Immediately prior to demolition, finishes and fixtures are often removed as part of the ‘softstrip’, exposing large areas of the load bearing structure that would normally remain concealed in an operational school because of the disruption of intrusive investigations. At present there is no systematic programme to capture and analyse information on the final structural condition of these buildings. This challenge seeks to establish a way to do this with minimal impact to the cost and programme of project delivery. Further information on the School Rebuilding Programme (SRP) can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-rebuilding-programme The Challenge Through Innovate UK, DfE are seeking scalable and cost-effective digital tools and methodologies to capture structural condition data immediately before demolition and analyse it to identify trends in defects across different construction types and structural arrangements in the education estate. This may be answered as discrete or a complete solution: 1: Data capturing and interpretation and 2: Analysis to identify trends across different construction types and structural arrangements. Applicants shall demonstrate how their proposals can capture structural condition data during a short pre-demolition window and analyse it to give reliable, engineering-based insights into structural defects, deterioration patterns and structural risks. Challenge responses should explain how data will be captured efficiently and safely and how technologies or automated methodologies, will be used to interpret it and then analyse it to inform the overall structural condition. Successful data capture and interpretation will be able to identify the different deterioration that can occur for the various structural elements and materials used for historic school construction. Successful analysis approaches should be capable of identifying common patterns or trends in visible defects and signs of deterioration across different buildings and correlate these to the construction materials and structural systems present. Responses should also explain the interoperability between data capture and analysis tools and how data and analysis outputs can be ingested into DfE’s Common Data Environment (CDE). The typical range of material systems used for structural elements is: - Structural steel (welded, bolted, rivetted) - Structural timber, including trusses - Reinforced concrete (Excluding RAAC, reinforced aerated autoclaved concrete, which will have been captured by separate pre-assessment) - Masonry (brickwork and blockwork), solid or cavity with wall ties. The range of structural elements is expected to include but may not be limited to: - Ground slabs: Reinforced concrete - Columns and beams and stabilising elements (braces): Steel, Reinforced concrete, masonry, timber - Roof Framing (trusses and lattices): St…
Gloucestershire Joint E-Scooter and E-Bike Scheme - Preliminary Market Engagement Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement in relation to the proposed Gloucestershire Joint E-Scooter and E-Bike Scheme. The Council is seeking evidence-based feedback from experienced micromobility operators and other relevant market participants to help test whether the proposed requirements are safe, deliverable, commercially sustainable and capable of delivering measurable public value. This engagement will inform the Council's development of the proposed procurement approach, specification, commercial model, contract arrangements and associated procurement documentation before any subsequent formal procurement process is commenced. GCC is particularly interested in market feedback on: - realistic fleet ranges and potential service areas; - the deliverability of an integrated e-scooter and e-bike concession; - parking, docking/locking and associated infrastructure requirements; - commercially sustainable operating and revenue models; - mobilisation requirements and continuity of the existing e-scooter service; - rider, pedestrian and wider public safety; - management of events, the night-time economy and anti-social behaviour; - accessibility and inclusive customer journeys; - operational data, reporting, information governance and appropriate performance measures; - environmental performance, mode shift and carbon benefits; - social value and wider local benefits; and - appropriate procurement and mobilisation timescales. The existing e-scooter trial includes areas within Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Cheltenham districts. As part of this engagement, GCC is interested in understanding the potential for development of the existing service and the introduction of e-bikes, together with the evidence that should inform consideration of any future expansion into other locations. The Council is also seeking market feedback on the commercial viability of an operator-risk concession and the factors that should inform the eventual commercial model. Suppliers are not being asked to provide a priced tender, detailed financial model, profit or cash-flow information as part of this Preliminary Market Engagement. The current proposition being tested includes an initial 12-month contract term with the potential for up to three further one-year extensions, subject to the applicable legal and regulatory position, satisfactory performance and evidence of demand for wider provision across Gloucestershire. How to participate Interested organisations should review the Preliminary Market Engagement documentation and accompanying draft specification and register their interest in participating in the engagement. Registration for the Preliminary Market Engagement is available through the following Microsoft Form: [PRELIMINARY MARKET ENGAGEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE - GLOUCESTERSHIRE E-SCOOTER AND E-BIKE SCHEME](https://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=VMeuX-NkFECbzOcvxzujEtPtdVhaRXJCia8wv4VzAA9UMUxFN0xSTEVQNFJDOElLR04xQ1ZGUTg1NC4u&route=shorturl) Suppliers should identify relevant assumptions, dependencies and legal or regulatory constraints and, where possible, provide supporting evidence. Responses should also distinguish between established capability, proposed developments and matters that would require third-party or regulatory approval.
