The Council has recently opened its new multi-purpose community services hub called Y Storfa, developed at the former BHS unit on Oxford Street in Swansea City Centre. Y Storfa provides community cohesion, opportunities for self-development and growth, digital inclusion, wellbeing, unity and strength across Swansea's diverse communities. Y Storfa is accessible to all and provides a range of services in a welcoming environment where you can meet others and participate in social activities, learning and support groups. It provides agile accommodation for third sector organisations, public sector bodies and private sector companies that endorse the ethos of a community hub. The Council is now looking for a company to provide and install several digital screens in the new building and are looking for potential solutions to the items listed below.

Project Aims To assess the feasibility of applying bioclimate vulnerability assessment approaches to priority marine migratory species within the Caribbean UK Overseas Territories and the Pitcairn Islands. Building on previous work undertaken for JNCC, the study will evaluate the suitability of the proposed bioclimate vulnerability approach, consider relevant alternative approaches where appropriate, and determine whether sufficient evidence, data and expertise exist to support future implementation. 4. Project Background Climate change is increasingly affecting marine migratory species through changes in sea temperature, ocean productivity, habitat availability, ocean circulation patterns, species interactions and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events (IPCC, 2022; Martay et al., 2023). These pressures may alter species distributions, abundance, migration routes and ecological relationships, with potentially significant consequences for biodiversity, ecosystem services and economies across the Caribbean Overseas Territories (OTs) and the Pitcairn Islands (IPCC, 2022; Martay et al., 2023). Evidence from marine vertebrates indicates that climate-driven changes in ocean conditions can alter migration timing, migratory routes, species distributions and access to suitable feeding and breeding habitats through changes in environmental conditions and prey availability (Kuletz et al., 2024). However, considerable uncertainty remains regarding how priority marine migratory species are likely to respond to future climate conditions and what these changes may mean for conservation and management (Martay et al., 2023). Previous JNCC work has reviewed available evidence on climate impacts affecting marine migratory species and identified a suite of priority species for further investigation. This work also highlighted the potential application of bioclimate vulnerability assessment approaches, which seek to combine information on species ecology, environmental change and climate pressures to better understand species vulnerability under future climate scenarios. However, uncertainty remains regarding the suitability of these approaches for the priority species and Territories, the data required to support their application, and whether resulting outputs would be sufficiently robust to inform management and decision-making. Previous work undertaken for St Helena, by Strathclyde University, explored ecosystem-based bioclimate vulnerability assessment approaches to project biomass declines in the marine protected area food web due to climate change (Olher et al., 2026). This study should consider the extent to which this and similar approaches may be applicable to priority species within the Caribbean Overseas Territories and Pitcairn. While bioclimate vulnerability assessments represent a promising approach, a range of alternative methods of assessing ecological/biological impacts of climate change may also be relevant. These vary in their assumptions, data requirements, technical complexity, resource needs and intended applications. It is therefore important to understand whether the proposed bioclimate vulnerability approach represents the most appropriate option for the priority species and Territories, and whether sufficient evidence exists to support its implementation. However, the primary purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of applying a suitable bioclimate vulnerability approach to priority marine migratory species, and new geographies, rather than to undertake a comprehensive review of assessment methodologies. Consideration of alternative approaches should therefore be targeted and proportionate, focusing on whether an alternative method would offer a materially stronger basis for future implementation. The next phase of work is therefore to undertake a feasibility assessment that builds on previous work while critically evaluating the suitability of the proposed approach in comparison with other rele…
Derby City Council (the Council) is undertaking this procurement to establish a contract for the provision of a single Higher Education Institution to deliver the Step Up to Social Work Programme for the East Midlands Regional Partnership (EMRP) for up to two cohorts (Cohorts 10 and 11) beginning March 2027. We will be procuring this contract for all Authorities/Bodies in the EMPR, which currently consists of: • Derby City Council - Lead Authority • Northamptonshire Children's Trust • Nottinghamshire County Council • Nottingham City Council • Leicester City Council • Leicestershire County Council • Derbyshire County Council • Lincolnshire County Council • Rutland County Council The Step up to Social Work programme is funded by the Department for Education (DfE) with the intention of raising the standard of social workers who work in children's statutory services. The programme recruits high calibre candidates who have a 2:2 degree and who already have experience of working with vulnerable children, young people or adults who want to train as social workers. The procurement process adopted by the Council is based on the 'Open' tendering procedure as detailed in the Procurement Act 2023 (the "Act") and the Procurement Regulations 2024 (the "Regulations") but with the added flexibility offered by Light Touch Regime (Section 9 and Schedule 1 of the Procurement Regulations 2024) and any subsequent amendment or re-enactment thereof. Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is underway in several areas across the country, including the East Midlands, and this may result in changes to council structures, service delivery and responsibilities, and geographical coverage during the life of the contract. For this contract it is anticipated that the effects of LGR will not lead to an increased service demand or the need to extend provision to new areas or client groups. However, it may be necessary to novate the contract to a new entity (that may replace Derby City Council) in future. The Council did not undertake any preliminary market engagement in advance of this procurement. This decision was taken following an internal assessment of the market, which concluded that the Council has sufficient knowledge of supplier capability, service delivery models, and pricing structures based on recent procurements of a similar nature. The Council has procured similar services twice within the last ten years, and officers have engaged with market intelligence, benchmarking data, and lessons learned from contract management to inform the service specification and procurement strategy. Insight gained through ongoing supplier performance monitoring and user feedback has enabled the Council to refine its approach without the need for further engagement at the pre-procurement stage. To ensure a fair and competitive process, the Council has taken care to avoid including bespoke or overly prescriptive requirements that could favour incumbents or any particular delivery model. All potential suppliers are encouraged to raise questions via the clarification process during the tender period should they require further detail or context regarding any aspect of the specification or commercial arrangements. The Council is committed to ensuring a transparent and level playing field and has taken steps to ensure that no supplier is unfairly advantaged or disadvantaged by the decision not to conduct formal market engagement. Please note suppliers wishing to express interest and obtain the documentation must do so by 11.30pm on Thursday 22nd October 2026. It is recommended that you express interest and obtain the documentation well before this time to allow sufficient time to prepare and submit a bid. The deadline for returns is 10.00am on Friday 23rd October 2026. Documents are available at www.eastmidstenders.org Please search for TD2420 Please note: we will only accept expressions of interest through the e-tendering system.
