The project will review a selection of case studies and report on the findings, including any positive or negative consequences, of the installations.

New EV Depot - Architectural Designer Services in connection with construction of a new EV depot for AfC SEND Transport
Royal Borough of Kingston are conducting this Procurement to select an Architect to progress RIBA stage 1 & 2 for the construction of a new EV depot for AfC SEN Transport services. The proposed site identified by the Council is known as the car park site, Jubilee Way, Cox Lane, Chessington.
The Project is a major project to relocate the service from their current location to enable development and to allow for the required expansion of the fleet to deliver this key service.
RBK has already carried out some capacity drawings, initial cost estimate and strategic Brief (RIBA stage 0). This has identified the site has potential to accommodate the needs of the user. The purpose of this Procurement is to appoint an Architect who can progress the feasibility further up to and including RIBA stage 2. This will enable the Council to prepare a business case and make an informed decision on taking the project beyond feasibility. There is an option to extend this appointment further subject to the Council's decision to progress the project.
Following soft market engagement, RBK has decided to procure these services through an open tender. The value of the works is estimated at £300,000.00 exclusive of VAT or £360,000.00 inclusive of VAT.
The construction of a new EV depot will enable the Council to continue to deliver quality SEN transportation services for children of the Borough as well as providing net zero benefits from electrification of the fleet.

Construction, Maintenance and Minor Works Framework
Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council gives notice of its intention to award a Construction and Minor Works Framework for the delivery of construction, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and associated minor works required by Council during the framework term, which is three years.
The proposed framework is intended to provide the Council with access to suitably experienced and competent contractors capable of delivering a range of planned, reactive and project-based works across the Council estate. The scope will include, but is not limited to, general building works, minor civil works, repair and maintenance activities, small-scale refurbishment, enabling works and associated construction-related services.
The proposed framework will offer access to a range of construction and minor works trades and disciplines, including painting and decorating, plastering, plumbing, Gas Safe engineering, joinery, drywall and ceilings, skilled labour, general labouring, fence erection, glazing, bricklaying and stonemasonry, tiling, welding and roofing, playpark installations.
The estimated total value of the Framework over its term is £1,500,000. This estimate is provided for transparency and planning purposes only and does not constitute a guarantee of volume of work or number of call-off contracts to be awarded under the Framework.
The framework will be used exclusively for works and contractors/individuals located within the borough area of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.
It is intended to support the efficient, compliant and timely delivery of Council requirements across the Borough whilst providing support to local firms through direct procurement and ensuring that works are procured and delivered in a manner that meets Council’s operational needs, statutory responsibilities and commitment to transparency in public procurement.
The framework is not intended to confer exclusivity on any single supplier, and any subsequent call-off arrangements will be managed in accordance with the terms of the Framework and the applicable requirements of the Procurement Act 2023 and the Procurement Regulations 2024.
Council considers that the framework is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The nature, scale and geographic focus of the works are expected to provide opportunities for local and regional contractors, including SMEs, to participate as subcontractors.
Council will seek to ensure that the procurement documentation is proportionate, accessible and clear, with requirements set at a level that encourage participation from SMEs and to reduce unnecessary barriers to competition.
In publishing this notice, the Council is providing advance transparency to the market regarding its intention to establish and award the framework. This notice is intended to inform interested suppliers of the Council’s proposed approach and to support openness, accountability and understanding of the Council’s procurement decisions.
Publication of this notice does not create any binding commitment to award the framework, nor does it prevent the Council from amending, delaying or discontinuing the proposed procurement where it considers it appropriate to do so.

ITT - Mapping Training and Qualifications for Heritage Construction Trades in England - UID 370
Heritage construction skills are essential for the repair, maintenance, conservation and retrofit of England’s 5.5 million traditional buildings (built pre-1919), but the industry faces significant skills shortages. Complex and patchy provision of relevant training is a major barrier to closing these skills gaps. At present, we have only limited visibility of provision and uptake for construction qualifications which contain heritage content.
This project would fill this gap in our knowledge and evidence by establishing a baseline dataset of current provision, funding, participation in, and completion rates of relevant training and qualifications. This will provide a detailed picture of where training is taking place, who is offering the training, and how many people are undertaking it as well as a repeatable methodology enabling this project to be repeated in future.
This project will also analyse the data alongside other research to identify where heritage content is included, and where there are gaps in available provision (both geographically and in terms of construction roles), trends over time, and identify qualifications which might be at risk.
With this information we will be able to better target our advocacy and interventions to improve education and training provision in this area and maximise our impact at both a national and regional level. This will directly support our work supporting the supply of heritage construction skills and enabling a greater volume of relevant training.
