To express your interest in this opportunity email ExpressionOfInterest@ccs.gsi.gov.uk Important information From the 2nd April 2014 the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All potential suppliers should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement. The link below to the Gov.uk website provides information on the new GSC: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications We want to understand the opportunities of system integration in urban areas – not in a theoretical way, but in a manner that is grounded in real citizen challenges. These citizen dialogues support, and are supported by, a complementary project to generate integrated system stimulus material that will show some of the possible ways in which different urban systems will develop and combine. These draft materials will be used for the citizen dialogue to explore the ways in which people think / would like an integrated urban future to develop. The results of the citizen dialogue will then feed back into the futures project so that the final results have a solid grounding in the real needs and desires of UK citizens. The citizen dialogue contractor will need to work closely with the futures contractor throughout the duration of the project to ensure that the futures materials generated for the citizen dialogue process, and research questions identified, are fit for purpose, and that the results of the dialogue process can be incorporated back into the futures final results. This procurement is to engage an expert citizen dialogue contractor to run a series of online and offline engagements (facilitated workshops, online platform, etc.) that will test the social questions listed in the Background (section 4) above to answer: • What are the opportunities are for people and businesses to successfully meet the needs and demands in the integrated urban system future? • Where might changes create disadvantages for certain groups? • What new risks might emerge and how acceptable are these to urban society? In particular there may be real concerns around data usage, environmental sustainability, social exclusion, changes to health and well-being in city living and how new systems might change the pattern of governance and accountability in cities of the future. All of these things we need to understand better so that the solutions we support and the direction that we take in ULIP are really fit for purpose.
