The commissioned provider will deliver a coordinated support offer for young carers, including assessment, safeguarding oversight, emotional and practical support, respite opportunities, youth club and group sessions, one-to-one support, school engagement, awareness raising, and links to wider partnership support. The service will also work in partnership with Social Services, Health and Education to support effective data sharing, joined-up working and access to positive childhood opportunities.

The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority (North East MSA) seeks to commission an external consultant to undertake an independent programme level evaluation of the Child Poverty Action Plan 2025-2030. The evaluation will assess the design, implementation, and impact of a complex, multi-strand programme delivered between August 2025 and March 2030. This will include directly funded activities, wider activities mobilised through the programme and selected aligned activities where appropriate and supported by the available evidence. The commissioned evaluation is intended as a cross-cutting programme-level evaluation of the Child Poverty Action Plan as a whole. It is recognised that individual projects, interventions and delivery activity within the wider programme will be subject to separate monitoring, evaluation and research activity commissioned by the North East MSA or undertaken by delivery partners. The evaluation will synthesise evidence generated through proportionate project level evaluations (including light touch monitoring and in depth project deep dives) to provide a coherent, programme wide assessment and will not be responsible for conducting primary project-level evaluations, except where explicitly agreed. This will support strategic assurance, learning and decision making, and inform future iterations of the Action Plan and wider North East MSA and regional policy and investment decisions. The programme-level evaluation will therefore consider both the evidence relating to individual interventions and the combined contribution of the wider programme towards the intended outcomes of the Child Poverty Action Plan. The programme‑level evaluation will also seek to determine the degree to which reducing child poverty has been embedded as a cross-cutting theme across North East MSA activity, and that of partners. This will include examining how the Child Poverty Reduction Unit and the regional Child Poverty Action Plan have influenced strategic priorities, programme and project design, funding and delivery decisions, and whether they have contributed to changes in policies, practices and activities beyond those directly funded through the programme.
The overall aims of the Service are to enable people who need care to be as independent, active and safe as possible; to prevent, delay or reduce people's care needs, so far as possible; and to work in an integrated, person-centred way.

The contractor is required to carry out safe felling and removal of all spray marked trees in the project area, the Humble Glades. This is the equivalent of approximately 80 medium-size trees, approximately 40m3 of timber, although the actual number of trees may be higher. There are a small number of Turkey Oak and Pine that are included in the felling contract but 90% of the trees are Holm Oak. The trees need to be safely felled and then processed. The majority of the timber felled needs to be burnt on site following instructions from Natural England concerning location and number of firesites. The cut stumps of all felled trees need to be treated with a Glyphosate based herbicide to prevent re-growth. The Axmouth to Lyme Regis Undercliffs NNR is a remote and wild coastal landslip. The worksite is located a 20-30 minute walk from the nearest vehicle access. The terrain across the NNR includes steep, uneven and sometimes difficult ground. The worksite is similar in terrain, on uneven, challenging and sometimes steep ground. Contractors will be required to hold and submit relevant chainsaw, herbicide and first aid certification, including felling and processing of medium-size trees (380mm to 760mm / up to twice bar length). Contractors must wear all relevant PPE at all times. No lone working at any time. The contractor must hold and submit a copy of their public liability insurance. It is a requirement that contractors undertake a site visit prior to submitting a tender or quote unless they are already familiar with the site.

For this project We have 6 modules. Each module is made up of 3 stages. These stages are (1) an x-y stage, (2) a tilt goniometric stage, and (3) rotational stage. The links to these stages and the control box can be seen in the attached supporting document. The difference between our stages and the COTS stages is that each stage has a different motor to the COTS item (integrated 485 bus-type closed-loop stepper driver, IRS42E-K02, manual available). All modules are controlled via a single controller box. The controller box has power and user instructions from control software (via RS232 to USB cable) as inputs and has six output cables, each connected to one of the modules (RS232 to RS232). Each output cable is limited to 2m length. The cable from the controller connects to the bottom most stage of the module, that is the x-stage. The x-stage is then connected to the y-stage via a RS232 cable. The y-stage is connected to the goniometric stage via a RS232 cable. Finally, the goniometric stage is connected to the rotational stage via a RS232 cable. In this way, a controller with 6 outputs controls 6x4=24 motors. This setup is shown in the diagram and a picture of a single module is also provided on the attached supporting document. The control signal is sent via the control box to the desired module. If the control signal is not for the x-stage, the control signal is passed up the chain, and so on. We need the control software to interface with our existing hardware to control the 6 modules. The solution could interface with the existing control box, or alternatively provide a new controller to interface with the 6 modules. The requirements above are for the software/control of the 6 modules.
