A self-contained nature finance game that allows players to virtually develop nature recovery projects funded using private and blended finance. Using the GFI Investment Readiness Toolkit as a framework the game will start by presenting players with options such as whether they want to play a seller or buyer, followed by various seller or buyer scenarios. Once a player has picked a role they will be taken through the process of developing a nature recovery project using private and blended finance from the start through to signing legal documents and the work starting on the ground. They will do this by working through a series of scenarios. They will have to complete every scenario satisfactorily to be able to move onto the next scenario. Reasons for not completing a scenario properly will be given, as will explanations of why they have completed a scenario correctly. Where possible there will be more than one correct way to complete a scenario. The game will be for Natural England so will focus on the roles that NE staff are likely to play at each stage of a projects development but will also be able to be used by Environment Agency and Forestry Commission staff carrying out nature finance related roles.
Chiltern Rail Limited (Chiltern) is undertaking preliminary market engagement to support the planned replacement of its existing Trackside Acoustic Detection System (TADS). TADS has been used by Chiltern since 2015 to monitor the health and condition of axle bearings and other bogie mounted rotating components. TADS is a wayside system developed by “Transportation Technology Centre Inc” (TTCI) for the purpose of detecting defective railroad bearing prior to failure. This system uses microphone-based technology to collect the acoustic signature of each bearing on a passing train. This data is processed thorough a collection of algorithms to identify defective bearings. The resulting information is used to drive critical safety, business and operational decisions. TADS is becoming unreliable and has suffered several outages more recently therefore Chiltern is seeking information from the market regarding potential solutions and delivery approaches for its replacement. The scope of requirement may include: • System design and Network Rail approval. • Decommissioning existing equipment and making the site safe. • Civil engineering where required for the new equipment. • Instillation of new equipment. • User interface/software package. • Ongoing maintenance and support. Further requirements are detailed within the draft specifications included within the documents provided. The purpose of this RFI is to: • Understand the solutions and delivery models currently available in the market; • Determine whether the requirement is best delivered through lots or separate procurements; • Test and refine the draft functional and non-functional requirements; • Understand implementation; • Obtain indicative pricing and commercial information; • Identify likely implementation timescales, dependencies and risks. The estimated contract value, contract duration and final procurement structure have not yet been determined. Suppliers are therefore being asked to provide information on available commercial models, indicative pricing, implementation timescales and the main factors affecting cost. This is preliminary market engagement only and does not constitute an invitation to tender or a commitment by Chiltern Railways to commence a future procurement. The purpose is to help Chiltern understand market capability and develop its requirements, commercial approach and procurement strategy, which is consistent with the intended function of preliminary market engagement under the Procurement Act 2023.
NPL is seeking a solution for a new dry dilution refrigerator (“the system”) in which scanning probe microscopy experiments will be carried out at mK temperatures on live superconducting quantum circuits. NPL wishes to use the system for atomic scale scanning tunnelling microscopy and atomic force microscopy. As such, the system must provide a low vibration and high coherence environment (light tight mixing chamber volume). Significant emphasis will be placed on the lowest possible vibration levels that can be achieved. It is anticipated that a solution provides both a mK vibration isolation system and various vibration mitigation measures at room temperature. The scope includes the dilution refrigerator having a low-vibration experimental platform at mK temperature, the experimental wiring tree to the mK experimental platform, and any room-temperature or low-temperature vibration reducing measures, any gas handling system, vacuum pumps or electronics required to operate the system. The system does not include the scanning probe microscopy unit itself, this will be provided and integrated by NPL. In the below we denote “the mixing chamber plate” as the standard plate of the dilution refrigerator that reaches the specified temperature and cryogenic performance. We further specify an “experimental plate” which may be the same as the “mixing chamber plate” in some implementations, but it may for some vibration isolating solutions be a separate plate on which the experimental scanning probe system and apparatus is mounted. It is in that case assumed that the experimental plate is thermally anchored to the mixing chamber plate and reaches the same base temperature, and sits within the enclosed mixing chamber shielded volume. Description • A “dry” pulse tube cooled dilution refrigerator that does not use liquid nitrogen or liquid helium to achieve cooling to 4 Kelvin. • The dilution refrigerator shall reach a base temperature of 20 mK or less at the vibration-isolated experimental platform, and the dilution refrigerator shall have a cooling power at 100 mK of 400 microWatts or more. • The experimental space below the experimental plate (if not the same as the mixing chamber plate, if e.g. a mK vibration isolation solution is used) shall be at least of diameter 360 mm, with a vertical height available for custom experiments of at least 300 mm. • The experimental plate shall be able to hold an experimental load of up to at least 1.5 kg, for custom experimental apparatus NPL wishes to install. Higher load will score higher. • Of particular importance is the achieved vibration levels at the experimental plate at 20mK or less, which shall have a demonstrated vibration level both horizontally and vertically during continuous operation of the dilution refrigerator as follows: o Any individual peaks in the vibration spectrum (horizontal and vertical) measured from 10 Hz up to at least 1000 Hz not exceeding a peak-to-peak displacement of 0.5 nm/rtHz. o An integrated noise power spectral density in the frequency range 1-10 Hz shall not exceed a root mean square amplitude of 10 nmrms. o The scoring in the evaluation of supplier bids will be heavily weighted against rewarding bids that significantly exceed the above minimum requirement specifications for vibrations. o NPL recognises that laboratory vibration levels may differ and as such will set the requirement that the above vibration levels shall be achieved in factory testing, with NPL staff present during final testing to witness compliance. o Any cold vibration isolation solution must remain well-thermalised and reach a base temperature of 50 mK or less and capable of conducting the active heat loads from piezoelectric nanopositioners. In order to achieve these specifications the supplier may chose to include a range of different solutions, and may work with other suppliers to provide external (room temperature) or internal (mK) vibration isolation solutions. No such solution shall be reg…
This requirement is for the supply and delivery of replacement sweeper brushes for the Council's current Johnston Euro 6 C201/C202 Precinct Sweeper, Johnston VT650/VT651 Channel Sweeper, Boschung Urban Sweeper S2.0 and Scarab Maven channel sweepers.
The purpose of this contract is to provide the supply and maintenance of the Urban Traffic Management & Control (UTMC) systems (software) that controls our intelligent transport (ITS) equipment in Bristol. The UTMC Common database system interacts with external systems to collate and disseminate traffic and transport information from existing or new UTMC sub systems. This allows Traffic Managers with the ability to develop better, integrated traffic and transport control strategies in line with current national and local transport policies. To ensure minimal disruption to the network the system must be able to deliver all requirements on day one of the contract which will be 1st August 2027.
