IRL-Dublin: business and management consultancy and related services
Destination Interpretation Planning and Design. Nationally, one of Fáilte Ireland's five strategic priorities is Destination Development. Having examined where most of Ireland's visitors stay and where there is a corresponding high level of product and service offering, Fáilte Ireland has prioritised work in a number of key destinations. The vision is to successfully initiate and implement a Destination Development Strategy in each of these areas to positively impact on the growth and sustainability of all businesses and communities through increased visitor numbers, tourism revenue and jobs. Some destinations and individual tourist sites or experiences have benefitted from capital investment from Fáilte Ireland (and others) into the tangible infrastructure of their tourist experience, to the extent that they now have new state-of-the art physical tourist facilities around which to build their visitor experiences. However, the physical facilities just make up part of the visitor experience, with the intangible elements around the story that's being told in each location making up the other part. It is important therefore to equally invest into this side of the visitors' experience, to ensure that it matches the promise and investment already made on the capital side. This can only be done through planning, developing and implementing clear interpretative plans for the destinations, business groupings and/or project sites. With this in mind, Fáilte Ireland would like to put into place a framework of suppliers within the broad area of. Lot 1 - Visitor Interpretation Planning. Vendors will be required to produce a detailed, prioritised and costed Interpretative Plan for a destination, business grouping or site, which identifies its over-arching interpretative theme, stories and content, together with key audience segments, as well as a series of recommendations to bring these to life, which are ready for implementation by interpretative designers, content and script-writers and suppliers of interpretative media and materials. Lot 2 – Visitor Interpretation Design. Vendors will be required to conceptualise the themes and recommendations in an Interpretative Plan (to be provided by Failte Ireland) through suggested layout, design, visual presentation, script and content-writing and media for bringing the themes and recommendations of the plan to life for a range of identified audience segments.

UK-Sheffield: data-processing services
Identity assurance service. The framework agreement will be for 18 months with the option to extend for a further 12 months. The right is reserved to award contracts under that framework for a duration of up to 4 years. Potential value of the framework is estimated to be 25 000 000 GBP for the 18 month duration. This figure is identified as that which is likely to be required to meet DWP's requirements. However, DWP represents the first Government Department adopting a cross-HMG approach. The commercial market will evolve as the model matures. In supporting the digital by default policy in general and the Government's welfare reform agenda in particular, Cabinet Office has produced guidance for all major public service provider departments relating to the need for identity assurance for users accessing government services. The intention of this Cabinet Office guidance is to leverage secure identity assurance capabilities that are already available or will be developed in the private sector, allowing users to choose the private sector partner(s) they wish to use to assert their identity and so access a government service. It is recognised that not all suppliers will (in isolation) be able to provide services across the full range of business components (digital, telephone, face-to-face) hence the intention to pursue a modular / component-led procurement to encourage consortia / collaboration and to ensure participation from organisations of all sizes based on their ability to contribute. The Cabinet Office Identity Assurance guidelines encourage competing private sector Identity Assurance services to be delivered to users through collaborative schemes. These schemes will deliver to customers a simple and consistent customer experience for access to digital public services and will operate under consistent commercial and contractual rule sets, and will be certified as meeting cross Government standards. Innovation from the private sector is expected to inform the Cabinet Office federated identity assurance approach in support of the following HM Government objectives and benefits: — Increased digital uptake (supporting channel shift), — Improving cyber security for HMG departments and users (following the approach outlined by the CESG draft publication Requirements for secure delivery of online services (Rsdops) and related good practice guides on identity verification and credentials), — Collaboration between the private and public sector to address common ID assurance challenges, — A multiplicity of suppliers to support diverse needs of departments and service users, — A component / modular design approach that will increase interoperability and reduce complexity and costs, — Enabling a diverse set of suppliers of differing sizes through common, open standards (eg technical, procedural, certification, messaging etc). HMG is intending to establish a marketplace of suppliers to deliver identity assurance services consistent with the Cabinet Office guidelines and utilising agreed open standards. This will support the roll-out of strategic customer services and HM Government programmes - DWP's universal credit and personal independence payments in the first instance. The initial DWP services will be required to provide identity assurance for approximately 21 000 000 claimants. As the HMG customer base is diverse, a wide range of suppliers will be required to ensure demographic coverage to ensure that no claimant sector is unfairly disadvantaged by limiting supplier choice. To support the rollout of universal credit and personal independence payments, identity assurance suppliers will be selected in summer 2012 and systems will need to be fully operational from spring 2013. Further details of service delivery and implementation will be provided at supplier briefing events and within the invitation to tender pack. In due course, all identity assurance services will be required to align with the cross-Government standards framework currently in development by the Cabinet Office. In the interim, DWP (in partnership with the Cabinet Office) will provide the standards against which services will be certified. These standards will be issued with the ITT, but indicatively DWP will wish to verify identity at levels of assurance aligned with 1, 2, and 3 of the 2003 eGif standard. The draft framework and standards published for Cabinet Office by CESG present a more "online" or "remote" verification flavour than the eGif document, and present a more granular scale than discrete levels, 0, 1, 2, 3. HMG requires suppliers to have capabilities to work with scheme members and public service providers to develop a consistent, integrated and simple customer experience for identity assurance. These capabilities include usability, technology and protocol co-development. HMG requires infrastructure, capabilities and customer support services in the following areas: — Identity verification. Verification will be performed in an appropriate channel (web, telephone or face to face). The provider will verify that sufficient evidence exists to verify that a person presenting on a given channel is the owner of the claimed identity, — Credential management. The provider will securely manage the credential lifecycle (e.g. user name, password, hard or soft tokens, grids, voice samples, memorable information, one time passwords etc), from issue to decommission, including all aspects of management of the customer, which will include for example credential loss/recovery/ reissue, — Identity correction services. For example, managing and resolving errors identified by the customer and / or DWP, — Identity revocation services. Revocation of the identity (or use thereof for government authentication purposes) from the supplier, — Identity authentication. The provider will enable authentication using appropriate credentials in the relevant channel (digital, telephone, face-to-face). DWP is building interfaces to its systems for Identity Assurance that currently use standard SAML 2 profiles. The initial set of services for DWP will therefore need to be built so that they can interface with this, and support authentication requests and responses in the telephony channel. However this interface may not necessarily apply as the services roll out across HMG. Details of the interfaces required for the initial DWP service will be issued in the ITT. The following considerations will apply to authentication: — The identity asserted in the relevant channel will be described in terms of a standardised data description for the user (to be detailed in the ITT), — The authentication will also carry technical information describing the level of assurance of authentication, — The provision of associated data attributes, out-with those above, may also be requested by the DWP and provided by the service provider: e.g. verified telephone numbers, history of addresses, etc. The initial service should also meet the following requirements: — The assurance regime and operational capability of the identity supplier will be required to support protection of personal data holdings, a privacy model and consent process on behalf of the service user, indicatively ensuring that the service user has an understanding of the type of information which may be released to the DWP as a result of their consent to use the service, — Geographical reach. Comprehensive geographical coverage across the UK is a requirement - but not necessarily from every supplier (i.e. regional identity suppliers will not be excluded on the grounds that they do not cover the whole of the UK), — Demographic reach. Different suppliers will already be servicing particular socio-economic groups with similar capabilities. It is envisaged that they will be able to provide identity services to these groups more effectively than other suppliers. Central Government departments in Great Britain will have a requirement for identification assurance of service users. DWP is anticipated to be the first of a number of central Government Departments to adopt Cabinet Office guidance for identity assurance services. The Cabinet Office will establish a range of pan-HMG standards to maximise interoperability. The procurement vehicle will meet DWP's needs and timescales for universal credit and personal independence payments. It will also be used by "DSD" The Department for Social Development acting for and on behalf of the Social Security Agency (Northern Ireland). Further information on this department can be viewed at: www.dsdni.gov.uk. The customer volumes associated with this notice refer to volumes for DWP only. Each public service has its own requirements determined by business context, security and target service needs. The cross Government standards framework will accommodate the diversity of public sector business. It is anticipated that the collaborative identity assurance schemes resulting from the DWP commercial engagement will facilitate other central Government Departments in meeting their identity assurance requirements. As a consequence the number of users requiring identity services for access to digital public services is expected to grow significantly. Securely verifying the identity of people, businesses and devices is an unavoidable challenge that must be addressed in order to deliver services digitally. The Cabinet Office proposed model for federated identity assurance aims to address this challenge as each new digital public service is introduced. The goal is an ecosystem in which all parties compete to improve the user's experience when using digital services. This will take place in conjunction with collective HMG efforts to address fraud to develop a robust public trust model. The scope of this commercial engagement is limited to the delivery of public services delivered by central Government Departments but the benefits of the approach are envisaged to be far wider. Consequently, widespread and open engagement with local authorities and other interested parties will be encouraged throughout the process. CPV: 72310000. ...
