Description

Staffordshire County Council (SCC), on behalf of the Strategic Coordinating Group (SCG), is looking to commission the independent production of a Community Impact Study. Its primary aim is to help partners to understand the health, social and economic impacts of the air pollution and associated disruption, which has resulted from the operation of the Walleys Quarry landfill operation during the period since January 2021.

This shared evidence-base will be used by partners across Staffordshire to inform future action and ongoing management of the landfill site, support engagement with central government on the issue of Walley's Quarry, as well as drawing lessons learned to inform the management of future incidents. The Impact Assessment will not only provide an assessment of those key impacts on the community at a point in time, but also consider the future for the local community.

The project has several key components: 
•	Analysis of existing evidence and desktop review - a synthesis of existing evidence setting out known impacts.
•	Interviews with SCG partners - to capture their perspectives about impact on the community and on their services.
•	Design and delivery of local community engagement activities - to involve the community in the development of the Study and provide additional evidence. 
•	Establish a Community Steering Committee - to ensure community representation from the outset, to build trust and consensus. 
•	Produce a comprehensive, statistically valid, Impact Study. 
The maximum budget available is £60,000. 

There is an additional £40,000 available should the Council require any further optional services. However, there is no guarantee that any additional work will be required. Tender submissions should only be for the work set out in the service specification, with a maximum price of £60,000 with the work to be completed by August 2024.

Technical Preparedness Study - Hydrogen Blends in the Northern Ireland Gas Distribution Networks

The Northern Ireland Gas Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) (i.e. firmus energy (Distribution) Limited (firmus energy networks), Phoenix Energy Group Limited and SGN Evolve Network Limited), along with Transmission System Operators - Mutual Energy and Gas Networks Ireland (UK) - have established a pathway to decarbonise the NI Gas Network by 2050. To support this pathway, we have developed an extensive programme of research projects to support our preparations to accommodate large volumes of renewable gas. The objective of this project is to establish the readiness of NI's gas distribution networks to accept hydrogen and natural gas blends including assessment of pressure reduction stations, primary meter installations and the impacts on larger end user downstream systems. The project will aim at the outset, to maximise the draw down of relevant evidence and data from publicly available hydrogen related trials, testing and research work and other industry sources thus enabling focus to be placed on identifying and addressing gaps in data, equipment performance verification and materials testing that are specific to the NI gas distribution networks. The NI DNOs are therefore seeking a qualified and suitably experienced consultant to establish the technical and safety readiness of the NI distribution networks and end user downstream systems to accept hydrogen. Whilst the immediate priority is to identify the limits of existing gas infrastructure and end user downstream systems for hydrogen blends of up to 20% by volume, this project work shall not preclude consideration of 100% hydrogen where this can be practically, and cost effectively covered in assessments and investigative works. The final outcome of this project is expected to be a detailed and comprehensive report on the current hydrogen ready status of NI gas networks and metering assets that identifies and quantifies safety risks and mitigations, with a prioritised and cost estimated roadmap outlining the requirements for network modification or replacement, recommended areas of further testing/research work and associated expenditure, as necessary, to safely facilitate injected hydrogen.
