Background
The PACS will support a newly established CT post-mortem imaging service. As this is a new implementation, there is no legacy PACS system and no requirement for data migration. Our priority is to establish the service as quickly as possible whilst ensuring compliance with the operational, security, retention and interoperability requirements detailed in the attached specification.
As a Waste Disposal Authority (WDA) DCC is responsible for the disposal of waste that the District Councils of Devon collect, known as Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW). DCC works in partnership with all 8 District Councils in Devon as well as the unitary authority of Torbay. The partnership, known as DASWC (The Devon Authorities Strategic Waste Committee), consists of representatives at both officer and councillor level from all Devon District Councils and Torbay Council. The role of the committee is to promote recycling across the county, and to fund small projects by the pooling of funding. It also co-ordinates joint county wide contracts for paper, glass and textiles and thereby allowing each authority to achieve a better deal through economy of scale. The current contract for the processing of the Local Authorities Collected textile waste will expire and therefore will require re-tendering. This contract has been generating an income to DASWC members from the sale of the waste material.

GSE Case Study, Marketing and Communications Support
The Greater South East Net Zero Hub is one of five regional net zero Hubs, funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).
One of the Greater South East Net Zero Hub’s (the Hub) key objectives is to bring the Hub’s story to life and clearly demonstrate the value and breadth of support it provides, and the outcomes delivered through local net zero, public sector decarbonisation and community energy projects.
Showcasing projects and providing case studies form a key part of the Hub’s Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with DESNZ. Specifically, this commission of external support is linked to Objective 3:
'Objective 3: Support a national knowledge transfer programme to improve information sharing, training, and evaluation, and build networks and partnerships. Support LA's in their engagement with the public on net zero and net zero programmes.'
The Hub wants to share knowledge and best practice across the public and community energy sectors, as well as highlighting and promoting opportunities for others to benefit from, alongside shared issues and lessons learned.
The Hub requires a supplier to provide end-to-end campaign management for between 30 – 50 individual projects. The supplier will support the identification, development and promotion of high-quality case studies and related end-to-end campaign management.
A dedicated campaign is required for each identified case study, with a non-negotiable price for each element of the campaign agreed. The supplier will lead the end-to-end campaign for each project identified, including all communications and stakeholder engagement. Content and campaign activity should demonstrate the Hub’s role as an enabler, highlight the contribution of Hub support to project development and delivery, and make it easier for public sector organisations and partners to understand what can be replicated, adapted or learned from the projects promoted.
This is not limited to written case studies; the Hub is seeking a supplier that can propose and deliver a broad, engaging and innovative mix of communications formats, tailored to different audiences and channels, to increase the profile of the Hub, support stakeholder engagement, and encourage wider knowledge sharing across the sector.

PHD has identified a need for specialist expertise to address several strategic questions that cannot be answered internally with sufficient confidence. Existing evidence suggests pricing, admissions structure and visitor decision-making are affecting demand and conversion. However, the organisation requires independent analysis and modelling to understand:
• Whether current pricing levels suppress demand.
• How visitor segments respond to price and product structure.
• The impact of removing lower-commitment admission products.
• The relationship between yield, volume and long-term sustainability.
• The role of digital channels in visitor conversion.
• How future ticketing structures can support both commercial performance and audience growth.
Deliverables
• The commission is expected to produce:
• A recommended admissions architecture.
• A recommended pricing framework.
• Recommendations regarding lower-priced entry products.
• Recommendations regarding Gift Aid.
• Recommendations regarding discounting.
• Recommendations regarding affiliate, trade and third-party sales.
• A practical implementation roadmap for Easter 2027.
Procurement Structure
An open competitive procurement exercise will be undertaken.
Potential suppliers will be invited to submit proposals detailing:
• Understanding of the brief.
• Proposed methodology.
• Relevant experience.
• Project team.
• Cost proposal.
• Delivery timetable.
Submissions will be evaluated against:

• Methodology and robustness.
• Relevant expertise.
• Practical applicability.
• Value for money.
• Quality of proposed team.
Consortium bids are welcomed where they bring together complementary expertise across pricing strategy, behavioural insight, visitor research, digital analytics and commercial implementation. One organisation should be identified as lead contractor and assume overall responsibility for delivery.
Contract Management
The contract will be managed by the Head of Audiences and Revenue Marketing (Racheal Brasier) with support from Sharna Bennett (Performance and CRM Lead).
Regular project meetings will be held throughout delivery. Key milestone outputs will be reviewed by an internal project steering group representing:
• Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Operations with representation from MRT and RNM
Contract Duration
18 months
The core consultancy work is expected to complete within approximately 6-9 months, with the remaining term allowing for validation, implementation support and follow-up advice as required.
Contract Value
The estimated contract value is between £60,000 and £120,000 excluding VAT, based on the indicative project scale identified through an initial document sent out to potential suppliers. Initial market research was undertaken with a variety of suppliers that outlined different approaches to the work - the estimates provided ranged from £60,000 - £120,000.
Funding is expected to be met from approved budgets and supports long-term commercial growth priorities for both RNM and MRT.
Failure to undertake the study may result in:
• Continued suppression of visitor demand.
• Reduced accessibility for key audience segments.
• Inefficient pricing structures.
• Lost admissions income.
• Poor strategic decision-making based on incomplete evidence.
• Failure to optimise the balance between revenue generation and audience growth.

West Midlands at MIPIM and UKREiiF 2027 Pavilion – Design & Fit Out
The real estate calendar is dominated by two large conferences, MIPIM and UKREiiF. Both events are critical to the West Midlands as key opportunities to market the region domestically and internationally, promote opportunities and announcements, and engage with an investor and developer audience.
MIPIM is a globally recognised real estate and investment event, held annually in Cannes, bringing together investors, developers, public sector leaders, and key decision-makers from across the global property and investment market.
Over recent years, WMGC has delivered the regional presence at MIPIM through a tactical model focused on targeted business development activity, stakeholder engagement and investor meetings. Whilst this approach has delivered positive outcomes, feedback from both public and private sector stakeholders has indicated that the model is approaching its natural limitations, and that a more visible and anchored presence is required to support investor engagement and regional promotion.
Following engagement with regional stakeholders, and consideration through governance channels, it has been agreed that WMGC will lead the delivery of an enhanced presence at MIPIM 2027.
UKREiiF is the UK’s real estate investment and infrastructure forum. It is a three-day real estate event that was established in 2022, defying expectations, attracting thousands of domestic and international developers, investors, councils and built environment thought leaders. Its aim is to connect people, places and businesses to accelerate and unlock sustainable, inclusive and transformational investment.
Over recent years, WMGC has delivered the regional presence at UKREiiF by exhibiting in a 200sqm pavilion used to showcase the West Midlands through a series of events, meetings, and networking. This approach has been positively received by both public and private sector stakeholders who are keen to return in 2027.
Following engagement with regional stakeholders, and consideration through governance channels, it has been agreed that WMGC will lead the delivery of the regional presence again at UKREiiF 2027.
The centrepiece to West Midlands presence at both events will be a West Midlands dedicated pavilion. Both pavilions are empty shells and will require designing and fit out to make them fit for purpose.
The purpose of this procurement is to establish an agreement with one supplier to cover the fit out of both pavilions at MIPIM and UKREiiF
• MIPIM and UKREiiF Design and Build of pavilion fit out
