Cheshire and Warrington is home to a substantial and thriving range of community energy organisations. The current pipeline of projects in feasibility and development totals 40MWp, with a portfolio including interesting and varied schemes covering solar, hydroelectricity, energy storage, and more. Many of these groups have been supported over the last two years by the Community Energy Fund, managed by the North West Net Zero Hub on behalf of DESNZ, which funded feasibility studies and supported viable projects on their journey from ideation to delivery. In February this year. DESNZ published their local power plan, highlighting their commitment to delivery 8GW of new local power projects by 2030, and Great British Energy have launched their new community fund - inviting expressions of interest from the community and looking to support rapid deployment via a range of developing finance options. At this critical juncture, ECW, in coordination with the North West Net Zero Hub, is seeking to appoint an organisation to work with the community energy sector across Cheshire and Warrington - supporting the growth and successful delivery of those projects in receipt of Community Energy Fund grant, enabling new groups to progress from ideation to delivery, and driving a more collaborative and integrated sector with increased peer-to-peer learning and knowledge transfer. This commission will support local groups during this key transitional moment, helping groups to access the funding required to progress, and supporting them to navigate any barriers encountered as projects enter the planning and construction phases. Supporting our groups during this transition will ensure that Cheshire and Warrington groups are well positioned to make the most of these exciting opportunities. ECW encourages bids from community organisations, charities, anchor organisations, and specialist advisory consultants. Consortium bids are encouraged where these provide best value-for-money. The successful bidder(s) will be required to deliver services in accordance with all tender documents and the contract to be placed with the successful bidder. Tenderers are requested to study the specification in detail and ensure that the specified requirements can be met and thus your understanding of our requirements is reflected in your Pricing Schedule return. ECW wish to secure efficiencies and economies of scale by means of a procurement exercise for meeting the requirements detailed within this documentation. The principle benefits anticipated by ECW in this procurement include; · Ability to maximise opportunities for best value and efficient services · To allow bidders to explore efficiencies, which may be possible by suggesting innovative and cost-effective solutions · Presentation of cost savings to ECW in order to maximise economical operational efficiency and value for money · A resultant contract that meets the tender requirements and supports ECW with their ambition

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is seeking to engage with the market to inform the development of a TfGM owned Unified Data Model (UDM) that will provide a robust, reusable data foundation for the Bee Network and wider organisational needs. TfGM manages a complex, multi modal transport network covering highways, bus, tram, and active travel, supported by a diverse technology estate and multiple third party suppliers. TfGM is increasingly dependent on timely, reliable and coherent data to support operational decision making, performance management, planning, and future digital capabilities. This engagement seeks to draw on market experience and expertise to help TfGM refine its thinking, validate assumptions, and shape a sustainable approach to developing and governing a UDM that can meet both current and future business objectives. Strategic Context TfGM has defined three strategic objectives for the Bee Network and the wider organisation by 2030: 1. Create a single view of the transport network across modes and operational domains 2. Establish a single source of truth for operational, performance and asset information 3. Develop a digital twin capability to support planning, simulation and assurance TfGM recognises that achieving these objectives requires a strong and coherent data foundation, rather than a dependence on individual systems or suppliers. A TfGM owned Unified Data Model is being explored as a key enabler that can: • Provide a canonical representation of the transport network and its components • Support consistent interpretation of data across systems and functional areas • Enable reuse of data across operational, analytical and strategic use cases • Underpin digital twin capabilities over time Unified Data Model (UDM) - Current Thinking TfGM is exploring the establishment of a TfGM owned and governed Unified Data Model, defined at a conceptual and logical level, independent of any single vendor or technology. Key principles being considered include: • The UDM represents core network entities, events, states and relationships in a consistent and extensible way • It acts as a canonical or reference model, against which data from multiple sources and platforms can be aligned • It is owned and governed by TfGM, allowing long term stability and control • It is designed to support both real time and historical views of the transport network While initial thinking has been informed by Highways together with Operational Control Centre use cases, TfGM is now considering the need to evolve this thinking into a business wide UDM, capable of supporting a much broader range of consumers and use cases across the organisation. Relationship to Vendor Provided Solutions TfGM anticipates that different suppliers may provide solutions that utilise their own internal or proprietary data models. The intent of a TfGM owned UDM is not to replace or mandate supplier data models, but to: • Enable federation, mapping or abstraction across multiple vendor data models • Facilitate portability of data and capability between solutions over time • Reduce dependency on tightly coupled, proprietary representations of TfGM's network • Support coexistence of multiple platforms while maintaining a consistent enterprise view TfGM is therefore particularly interested in approaches that allow vendor solutions to: • Integrate with, publish to, or consume from a TfGM UDM • Map or transform data between proprietary models and the TfGM canonical model • Operate independently while still contributing to a single, coherent picture of the network Business Drivers and Challenges TfGM is seeking to address a number of challenges through this work, including: • Fragmented and inconsistent representations of the transport network across systems • Duplication of data modelling effort between projects and suppliers • Difficulty reusing data across operational, analytical and planning contexts • Limited ability to decouple strategic data assets from individual vendor solutions • Risk of long term vendor lock in as new platforms are introduced The UDM is seen as a potential mechanism to centralise meaning without centralising systems, enabling TfGM to evolve its digital landscape in a controlled and flexible manner. Purpose of this Market Engagement TfGM is not undertaking a procurement through this engagement. The purpose is to engage with organisations that have experience supporting large, complex, data intensive organisations to: • Shape, validate or implement unified or canonical data models • Align data architecture with long term digital strategy and roadmaps • Design governance models that balance consistency with flexibility • Enable interoperability across supplier ecosystems TfGM wishes to use this engagement to test and refine its thinking around: • Whether a TfGM owned UDM is the right strategic approach • How such a model should be scoped, structured and governed • How it should evolve from domain specific (e.g. Highways) to enterprise wide • How it can practically support digital twin ambitions over time What TfGM Is Asking the Market to Respond To Suppliers are invited to provide high level responses covering: • Relevant experience of delivering or supporting unified data models or similar constructs at scale • How they would support TfGM in shaping, validating or maturing a TfGM owned UDM • How a UDM can support: o Federation across multiple vendor platforms o Portability of data and capability over time o Long term digital twin development • Views on governance, ownership and change control for an enterprise UDM • What a typical engagement and delivery model might look like (e.g. discovery, assurance, roadmap definition) Responses should focus on approach, principles and experience, rather than promotion of specific proprietary products or platforms. Next Steps Feedback from this market engagement will be used to inform TfGM's future strategy, roadmap and potential commissioning of advisory or delivery support for building a strong data foundation. Participation in this engagement does not guarantee involvement in any subsequent procurement.

GMCA has been working with partners to identify appropriate sites for energy generation as part of our regional decarbonisation activities. In 2023, GMCA commissioned a feasibility study to assess opportunities across the GM Waste Estate and identified 10 suitable sites for rooftop and ground-mounted solar. This presents an opportunity for GM Waste to invest and reduce their onsite power demand. However, there is significantly more solar capacity potential than these sites require creating an opportunity for export into the wider public sector estate and GMCA is interested in co-investing or procuring this power for their own use. GMCA are seeking support from potential suppliers to progress this work through to delivery by providing Engineering Project Manager Support. The project is split into 2 contingent parts as the number of sites taken forward in Part 2 for investment will depend upon the outputs from Part 1.

Supported living services are a vital part of Sefton's Adult Social Care offer, enabling individuals with care and support to live independently in their own homes. Supported living arrangements aim to increase individuals' independence and skills by reducing dependency over time. This should, in turn, enhance the adult's persons autonomy and reduce the level of paid and unpaid support required. These arrangements create opportunities for individuals to explore new experiences, enable care and support to be delivered within their own homes, and may facilitate transitions to more independent forms of accommodation. The provision of services therefore includes options for both short-term and long-term support, promoting progression and the development of life skills, including recovery-focused models for those with mental health support needs.
