2562 - Bluhive Consultancy Framework

Tender description

A framework for consultancy services is required to offer quick access to specific specialist support services that will be required for the systemic challenges that are being developed in relation to CPI’s Bluehive business model. Having easeof-access to an established network of specialist suppliers will be critical for delivering the services that CPI will be offering to our customers. This framework has been split into the following lots; Lot # & Title 1 - Cultural & Strategic Change Management 2 – Systems Transformation Analysis 3 – Social Feasability Assessment 4 – Envinronmental Feasability Assessment 5 – Economic Feasability Assessment 6 – Project Roadmapping Lot 1: Cultural & Strategic Change Management Lot 1: Cultural and Strategic Change Management The organisations that engage in this programme generally acknowledge that they have problems to address, though they won’t often fully appreciate the extent of the systemic challenge nor the changes that need to occur in order to properly address the challenge. This will often require reflection and recalibration of their strategies, vision and leadership culture. Therefore, CPI is seeking to appoint a panel of vendors that specialise in the following: - Leadership and culture change Provide support in helping leaders and organisations to evolve and shift how they see and understand themselves and their role in the world, to strive for and commit to initiatives for the greater good. - Multi-stakeholder Collaboration Working with groups of organisations to build common ground, trust, shared language, and ambition, whilst effectively handling tensions and diverse perspectives. All with the purpose of forming an effective coalition. - Strategy and vision setting Understanding various organisation’s motivations, ambitions, and desired outcomes. Convening separate parties and reaching consensus on a collective vision and strategic objectives for the consortium and change programme. Lot 2: Systems Transformation Analysis CPI is seeking to appoint a panel of vendors to lead in-depth investigations of chosen systems, to understand the objects, networks and loops that form them. This will include mapping of the current state, outlining the theory of change, and further mapping of the desired future states of the systems, with multiple organisations working together in collaboration. Key services should include: - Current System Analysis Understanding the system that the collaboration is trying to change through data-driven insights on social and environmental impacts, e.g., analysing the current state of material flows within a system in terms of its overall circular economy performance or measuring the impact to the end-user of a system change such as their positive or negative experiences. Current state analysis is required to understand how both internal and external forces and dynamics contribute to the resilience of the system and identify impact hotspots as well as opportunities for transformation. - Strategy Development Developing a holistic vision and goals for what the system should look and function like in an ideal, sustainable state. This will involve the definition of performance KPIs across a broad range of metrics, to help embed sustainability into the collaborator’s organisational strategies. - Future System Design Identify and outline innovation gaps and proposed interventions that could prove to be leverage points for transforming the system toward a more sustainable model of operation. This will include mapping the collaborator’s portfolio to the system to assess opportunities for strategic investments and to develop a roadmap to reach desired outcomes. Lot 3: Social Feasibility Assessment CPI is seeking to appoint a panel of vendors that specialise in the social and sociological assessment of products, supply chains and value chains. The service will include desk-based research, measuring, monitoring, modelling, simulating, and scenario and sensitivity analysis. Vendors will be able to demonstrate expert knowledge in (but not limited to): - Psychology - Policy & politics - Behavioural change - Equality - Incentives, levers and mechanisms Lot 4: Environmental Feasibility Assessment CPI is seeking to appoint a panel of vendors that specialise in the environmental assessment of products, supply chains and value chains. The service will include desk-based research, measuring, monitoring, modelling, simulating, and scenario and sensitivity analysis. Vendors will be able to demonstrate expert knowledge in (but not limited to): - Biotechnology, Chemistry, Chemical engineering, - Feedstocks, materials and energy (fossil & renewable), - Resources (geology, forestry, agriculture, water) - Various sectors, for example: mineral mining, petrochemical, paper & pulp, metals, polymers & plastics including bio and biodegradable, ceramics including glass - Waste separation and recycling (mechanical, chemical, advanced thermal) Lot 5: Economic Feasability Assessment CPI is seeking to appoint a panel of vendors that specialise in the economic assessment of products, supply chains and value chains. The service will include desk-based research, measuring, monitoring, modelling, simulating, and scenario and sensitivity analysis. Vendors will be able to demonstrate expert knowledge in (but not limited to): - Economics and finance - Mass balance - Process economics - Systems analysis - Modelling, simulation, scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis - Regenerative finance - Digital (Fintech, blockchain, non-fungible tokens) - Taxation, incentives, mechanisms - Forecasting markets Lot 6: Project Road-mapping CPI is seeking to appoint a panel of vendors that specialise in the development of roadmaps for delivering strategic innovation projects. They will provide clear direction and alignment to the needs highlighted throughout the earlier stages of CPI’s discovery process, collaborating closely with CPI and the challenge partners. Key services should include: - Strategic Roadmapping Development of a detailed innovation roadmap, taking into account the outputs from the earlier systems transformation analysis, and social, environmental, and economic assessments. Specifically factoring in the innovation gaps and intervention opportunities that have been highlighted within the systems transformation step. This process should identify short-term and long-term goals, milestones, deliverables, and timelines. - Success Measurement Identification of necessary target metrics and reporting infrastructure to ensure that the goals outlined in the roadmap are SMART. - Project Design Translating the roadmap into a practical project/programme structure, outlining stakeholder organisation, key resource requirements, critical work packages / projects, and required outputs to achieve desired outcomes. (Note, the requirement here is a proposed project structure, not a comprehensive project plan).
