Description

This statement of service specifies ONR's requirements relating to delivery of a seminar on Lead cooled fast reactor by the successful contractor. The specification covers both the development of the seminar materials in line with ONR requirements (stage 1) and the delivery at ONR offices in Bootle, Merseyside (United Kingdom) (stage 2). Note the term lead cooled refers to both pure lead and lead-bismuth cooled reactor concepts and as such any reference to lead coolant should be considered to cover lead and lead bismuth coolants.
As part of the review and delivery of the course, the contractor should explicitly provide references to any materials used, and any names of any external academics and organisations which have been consulted or referred to in the development of the course. If a contractor cannot fulfil some of the above requirements, or needs to partner with other organisations to achieve the full scope of work, this should be explicitly put forward in the tender response.
As part of this work, the contractor should plan to take part in meetings with ONR via teleconference (to discuss progress made, provide early sight of the seminar materials as they are adapted and prepare for course delivery). An assumption of such 3 teleconferences (project kick-off, pre-delivery and post-delivery review) should be made for the purposes of developing the precise scope and content of the work to be undertaken.
At the end of Stage 1, the contractor will provide a single, fully referenced set of the seminar materials including overheads / slides and any practical exercises proposed both in MS PowerPoint formats or similar (to be agreed with ONR). Any assumptions and extrapolations made, caveats and uncertainties should be explicitly documented.
Following Stage 1 the contractor should plan for delivery of the seminar in the UK. This scope anticipates that the seminar will be delivered by staff members at a mutually agreed dates (anticipated to be no later than end of March 2020) subject to ONR's acceptance of the seminar materials (to be provided to ONR no later than 3 weeks prior to the delivery date).
The contractor is requested to identify the suitably qualified and experienced persons (SQEPs) that will deliver the seminar in the UK. Remote delivery e.g. via videoconference will not be accepted. The contractor is also requested to outline the duration of face-to-face seminar in the UK (anticipated up to 2 days plus travel time), provide an upper bound estimate of costs associated with travel and subsistence by the contractor's staff and the level of post-delivery support that could be offered to supplement the seminar delivery.
