Review the effectiveness of the current Work Club model and seek recommendations for the way in which it should develop to meet the ever changing needs of the local economic landscape and resident population. The Council is seeking to engage an organisation or individual to undertake such a review.
The projects under review are being delivered through an integrated delivery team model involving early engagement with NH and contractor supply base. The model is based on the delivery of an output-based specification for a defined and agreed budget, which is inclusive of the costs associated with the delivery of a scheme. This budget would have traditionally been the reserve of the client but is entrusted to the integrated teams to manage and deliver the outputs against. The commercial incentivisation is centred on out performance where value is created by achieving the required outputs at less cost but regulated against whole life cost of the asset being created.
The reason for the in-depth review is the existence of anomalies in the administration of these projects that require further investigation.
The tender is to run aspects of the business development for the Twinkle Space Mission; the work is funded via UCL by a European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept (PoC) grant “ExoData”. The core concept of ExoData is to implement a business model that places astrophysics space research on a more commercial footing. We will generate income from the sale of telescope data to make scientific missions self-funding and potentially profit making. The exemplar is an exoplanet characterisation mission “Twinkle which exploits the smaller, faster, cheaper capacity of the EU (in particular UK) space industry to radically change the way space-borne astrophysics is conducted.
