7. (a) Project description In the box below please provide a non-technical summary of your research proposal that would be easily understood by non-scientists (note 4). If your proposal is successful this summary will be published on Defra website. Dealing with the possible consequences of climate change depends on understanding predictions and taking action to mitigate against predicted changes, to adapt, or both. Deciding whether to take action will require weighing up risks and benefits and evaluating alternative strategies. Decision makers will range from individuals, through local government, to national governments and intergovernmental negotiators, and in the public sector alone, cover a gamut of professions from engineers and educators to policy makers and scientists.
Making policy requires access to knowledge, not just the underlying information and data.
While data leads to information and knowledge, the steps from data to knowledge in the climate prediction arena can involve handling tens of terabytes of data (in information terms: roughly equivalent to several copies of the British Library's entire holdings), as well as significant knowledge of the tools (models) used to create the simulations, and a background in both environmental sciences and sophisticated statistics.
Managing the underlying data itself is a problem, once data volumes become large enough, hardware and software problems that are rare with small data volumes become common enough that mitigation strategies against failure within the data archive itself are necessary.
Holding high volume complex data over time introduces new problems involving format migration and semantic interoperability.
Software must also be produced to visualise and extract data (that might be input to other tools such as flood predictions), before producing policy relevant advice.
Defra has funded, and continues to fund, projects which produce climate prediction data, scenarios and advice for the UK climate impacts community.
This work is one part of that continuum of research activity, covering the reliable storage of climate data and predictions, and the interfaces to that data to make it usefully available to the impacts community, who themselves provide policy relevant advice.
Data will be extracted from the archives of the Met Office Hadley Centre (MOHC) and made available by the British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC), a national repository for storing digital environmental data for the long term (BADC expertise and additional funding via the National Centre for Atmospheric Science will also ensure that the data will be held for posterity).
The result of this phase of the work will be prototype systems coupling interfaces to the data archives developed together by the BADC and Newcastle University (both world leaders in developing web-based interfaces to complex geophysical data).
The University of East Anglia and the MOHC will provide expert advice.
The eventual goal will be to provide data access to both experts in the climate impacts community and the general public via these interfaces but such deployment will be expected in a future phase of Defra supported activity.
The first phase, covered by this proposal, will take eighteen months.
The second phase (not covered here), would improve the prototype and then provide and support public access and should begin near month twelve of this project, and continue for at least two years.
The project will be carried out in close partnership with the Defra funded UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) and will contribute to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s Data Distribution Centre (DDC).
Although there will be three significant components to the work (known as the Data Delivery Package [DDP], the Climate Impacts LINK Project, and the DDC), this activity will eventually (during phase two) create a joined-up resource that serves the whole community, from research scientist to town planner.
The project takes a significant leap forward from its predecessors, exposing cutting edge science involving complex probabilistic datasets and exploiting a Weather Generator (developed in another Defra project) to produce sample time series of weather conditions at specific UK locations in the future.
We will also exploit new metadata standards developed both within this project and others with which the project participants are involved.
The underlying archives will provide tens of terabytes in reliable network attached storage with multiple gigabit bandwidth to the wider Internet.
The data interfaces will be state-of-the art, and, where appropriate, exploit the latest standards-compliant metadata structures and interfaces to make the best use of both technology and experience in other communities.
An active climate scientist who is also an expert on data systems will provide UK representation on the IPCC Task Group on Data and Scenario Support (TGICA).
To avoid duplication of effort between the components, the entire activity will be supported by a common management infrastructure and technical service layer which will dovetail with existing complex data and information systems at the BADC.
Although this project proposal outlines developments to deliver a system fit for deployment in a phased follow-on project, some aspects of the project, namely LINK and IPCC-DDC components, will include operationally deployed services during this prototype development phase.

Risks which might prevent or delay the achievement of project objectives (note 7).
(This box is restricted in size, do not attempt to exceed its length or text will be lost). • Risk No. Description of risk (Probability of risk)
I: Impact on project MS: Mitigation strategy
• 1 RCM runs are stalled and delivery of Hadley Centre data is delayed (20%) I: Could potentially delay data extraction and generation of PDFs (risk 2) MS: Early engagement with MOHC and Defra on likelihood of delays to agree a solution. • 2 Generation of PDFs is delayed at the Hadley Centre. (25%) I: Could delay launch of DDP.
MS: Early engagement with MOHC and Defra on likelihood of delays to agree a solution. • 3 Data manipulation and visualisation software not produced in time for incorporation into web-interface. (20%) I: Could delay integration with WG and launch of DDP.
MS: We will clearly define the interfaces in the "dummy" data work to ensure components are built to interfaces thereby avoiding single threads delaying development elsewhere. • 4 Misuse of probabilistic data and products provided via the DDP.
For example, a user discounts uncertainty data and just takes one result instead of ensemble result. (60% ) I: Could undermine the entire project by losing scientific credibility and focus of whole project.
MS: We will ensure that the MOHC scientists, UKCIP, Steering Group etc define a clear set of selection pathways are all meaningful and accompanied by appropriate metadata/documentation regarding how to use and understand the outputs.
We will consider whether users must obtain ensemble outputs when using RCM or WG products. • 5 Steering Group requirements change near project deadlines. (25%) I: Could cause disruption to work plan and delay software development and delivery of DDP.
MS: The early stage of the project will define very close communications with the relevant parties (including the Steering Group).
There will be clearly defined requirement capture phases during which discussion and consultation will be paramount.
Upon agreement of requirements there will be designated "build" periods where requirements are no longer incorporated into the design. • 6 Weather Generator project interfaces are unclear. (40%) I: Could prevent effective integration of the DDP components.
MS: We have engaged with one potential bidder for the WG contract.
We aim to create a work plan that explicitly combines some work components.
We have WG expertise and interface experience funded within our proposal. • 7 Data extraction at MOHC is beyond resource allocation (20%) I: Could frustrate users that we cannot provide all that is required.
MS: We will optimise the allocated resource to ensure that priority datasets are shared with the user communities.
Additional requirements from users will be raised with Defra if beyond our capacity. • 8 Technical and Scientific support requirements are beyond allocated resource limits. (40%) I: Users could be frustrated by slow or limited responses from support staff.
MS: We will communicate clearly with users when there is not enough resource to respond quickly to their queries.
If this issue persists we will raise it with Defra and UKCIP and seek an appropriate solution. • 9 Minor data loss after migration to BADC (100%) I: Could make user experience difficult if data is missing or corrupt.
MS: Key datasets (the PDFs, monthly means, and others to be decided) will be duplicated and stored in the Atlas Tape Store (on site at CCLRC) as well as nearline.
Other data will be stored on RAID systems, Minor amounts of corrupt and/or missing data will be replaced within four working hours during normal working time. • 10 Catastrophic Data Loss in BADC archive (simultaneous failure of multiple disks in RAID sets) (5%) I: Websites would be dysfunctional while data is not available.
MS: Data will be re-extracted from MOHC with concomitant scaling back of data delivery via websites. (Note that this should not affect datasets which are duplicated as described in risk 10). • 11 Network Problems preclude access to websites. (1%) I: Websites not available.
MS: Impossible to mitigate without unjustified expense on duplicate network access, but existing network downtime has never exceeded half a day. • 12 Second phase does not begin on time (6 months before planned DDP launch) (50%) I: DDP launch is compromised because support and deployment system is not available.
MS: This is a Defra issue. • 13 Second phase support does not eventuate. 20% I: DDP launch is not possible.
DDC support terminated.
Continued MOHC interaction with wider community compromised.
MS: This is a Defra issue.

Statistical input to project (note 9)
(a) Has a statistician's advice been reflected in your proposal, particularly the experimental design? ....................................................... YES
NO
If YES, go to (b). If NO, please explain why you thought this was unnecessary. (This box is restricted in size, do not attempt to exceed its length or text will be lost). We will deliver the project according to PRINCE2 principles, with project management being provided by a specialist project manager at the BADC. Accordingly, we will establish a project board involving user and supplier stakeholders and the implementation team, and form strong relationships with the customers (represented not only by Defra but particularly the TGICA community and the UKCIPNext User Panel).
While not all the project partners are ISO9000 qualified, the procedures being deployed by the lead partner, BADC, will be in accordance with ISO9000 principles (indeed the host department of the BADC, Space Science and Technology at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory expects to extend its existing ISO9000 qualification to all divisions, including BADC, within the lifetime of the project). The probabilistic data being presented and handled within this project is complex. However, the scientific and statistical validation of the data is already a funded Hadley Centre activity. The only significant statistical aspects
to this project will involve
- usage logging, monitoring and reporting. - data transfer and processing statistics. - simple statistical derivation of means, maxima and minima from data files. - statistical operations being run on climate data that are fully tested and validated in pre-existing software packages.

Benefits and outputs
(a) Describe and quantify (note 10). (This box is restricted in size, do not attempt to exceed its length or text will be lost). Please see 12(a).
N/A
This project will provide a prototype system capable of delivering ground-breaking climate change scenarios to the public and policy makers via the web.
This will enable interaction with probabilistic climate datasets in a manner that the user can pose a useful question and receive a response that is both informative and retains the uncertainty inherent in climate change predictions.
In the follow-up project the deployed system will allow decision-makers and industry to plan their strategies in response to indicative predictions of future climate.
The integration of the DDP with a Weather Generator model will demonstrate how such tools can be employed to add value to climate model output.
It will also provide users with access to high temporal resolution data not previously available.
The LINK component (and DDP in the follow-on project) will deliver considerable usage of Defra-funded climate research outputs (UKCIP predict that potentially more than 1000 users will wish to access the DDP system).
The users will make use of the data in a variety of ways including: informing policy, making strategic decisions, aiding research, exploring possible climate scenarios and understanding climate models.
The IPCC-DDC element will allow climate researchers greater access to data by incorporating existing and new datasets into the BADC's existing infrastructure.
The following reports will chart progress of the project and provide a commentary of the outputs: - Quarterly reports, summary Financial Year reports, Annual reports, Final reports to Defra. - Periodic reports to the TGICA.
Note that the LINK archive will also be of benefit in upcoming IPCC asessment activities (for example, it is expected that the next assessment report will use a distributed archive).
■Main Section
SID 3 (2/05)
(b) Do you think further research or development will be needed before these benefits can be realised? ........................................................... YES
NO
If NO, go to (c). If YES, please give reasons. (This box is restricted in size, do not attempt to exceed its length or text will be lost). (c)
Is the proposed research likely to lead to
(i) protectable results (e.g. patents, design rights etc.)? ................................................ YES
NO
(ii) other commercially negotiable results (such as'know-how')? ................................... YES
NO
If YES to (i) and/or (ii), please give details including interest already expressed. (This box is restricted in size, do not attempt to exceed its length or text will be lost). It is highly likely that the data holdings in the LINK archive could be used in future IPCC assessment reports, and it will be necessary to ensure that the interfaces to the archive are consistent. Users of the data and information will have the opportunity to commercialise the knowledge they obtain within the constraints of the licenses provided by the Met Office for access to the data itself.
The project partners do not plan to commercialise the websites, nor the underying software (indeed, any portable software resulting will be made available using an open-source license) .
Note that the project does not aim to deliver portable software per se.
The software technologies employed (i.e. language and standards) will represent the most efficient methods to meet the needs of this project (such as re-using existing code from internal and external sources).
Delivery of the prototype DDP will lead to the creation of innovative new ways to access, analyse and display probabilistic climate projection data. Once deployed (in the follow-on project) users will gain significant benefit from using the output of the portal and it is possible that there may be other expert commercial users, such as consultants and industry scientific experts, who could add value to the outputs by working directly with software components to access the data directly.

Communication of results
(a) How will the results be communicated? (Note 11). N.B. In any publication including press articles, the financial support of the Department must be acknowledged. (This box is restricted in size, do not attempt to exceed its length or text will be lost). (b) What measures will be taken to encourage knowledge transfer? (This box is restricted in size, do not attempt to exceed its length or text will be lost). The results of this project will be communicated via a number of different means to various audiences. The user community will be provided with multiple layers of technical and scientific documentation to explain:
How to use the DDP.
What the meaning of particular DDP selections are.
How to best interpret the outputs from the DDP.
This will be presented on the DDP web site and in the form of technical/scientific support documents. This work will begin in this project but will be a higher priority for the follow-on deployment and support project.
Where developments in science, data management, software, interfaces and web-technology are considered to break new ground we will seek to publish our results in the appropriate peer-reviewed literature, and at international meetings, including those of the Global Organisation for Earth System Science Portals.
As part of the Defra/UKCIP launch of the UK 21st Century Climate Change Scenarios (2008) we anticipate that the DDP will receive a great deal of publicity in the press.
Support for LINK will include the quarterly e-newsletter sent to registered users and published via the LINK web site.
All data will be catalogued and made available to both conventional search engines as well as to new state of the art catalogue portals (such as the NERC DataGrid). By its very nature the DDP (to be deployed in the follow-on project) will be a web-based service that is exposed to any users of the Internet. We believe that UKCIP and Defra publicity will advertise the service, resulting in knowledge transfer to the wider audience creating the potential for applications in the commercial sector.
We will also proactively register the datasets with gateways as described in the previous section to make sure that potential users can find the data. This project will then form part of a continuum from the production of knowledge in the Met Office Hadley Centre to the consumption and exploitation by users ranging from individuals to policy makers.
The research focus of the methodology which we will deploy will also be publicised via appropriate technical meetings, and as noted above, we will endeavour both to deploy and add value to existing open-source products, as well as identify components for open-sourcing. The UK will be well placed to exploit this activity through the expertise of the staff involved.

Capital equipment devoted to project
(a) To assist Defra in assessing your capability to carry through the project successfully, please list the capital assets to be used on the project, e.g. specialist buildings or equipment, animal housing, computers. (This box is restricted in size, do not attempt to exceed its length or text will be lost). (b) If any of the assets listed above need to be purchased for the project and you expect Defra to contribute to the cost, please list details below including estimated cost and any'in kind'contributions (note 12). N.B. Defra will not contribute to the cost of any new item that will duplicate one already in your possession unless the latter is unavailable for use on the project. (This box is restricted in size, do not attempt to exceed its length or text will be lost).
The project will exploit
* The Met Office Hadley Centre MASS storage archive both by utlising the existing system and adding capacity to support the extraction volumes needed.
To that end, both tape drives and storage capacity will be added at the Met Office to improve throughput. * The project will exploit the BADC storage systems, including network attached storage and tape drives in the Atlas Data Centre.
Additional CPUs will be added to the existing NERC Big Data Analysis Network, and new storage added as needed.
Note that the BADC organises data ingestion by charging for data input, and then taking on the data in perpetuity (where the data retention policy requires longevity), hence Defra is not being charged for hardware per se. (BADC forms part of the CEDAR group at the CCLRC who share storage and system management.
The CEDAR archive is curently in excess of 100TB). * BADC guarentees to purchase at least twelve dedicated opteron-class CPU's for the project, but this cost will be absorbed within the one-off facility charge of 3.7K£ charge per TB. * As explained above, and in more detail in the main body of the bid-document, the Met Office Hadley Centre will purchase both additional storage, and additional tape drives.
This equipment is required because the existing systems do not have sufficient capacity to support the additional extractions specified by this project. * BADC will be purchasing hardware and tapes via the facility charge.
Note that BADC will migrate data which fulfils the data retention policy to future systems beyond the end of the project at no cost to Defra.

Employers Liability: As a Non Departmental Public Body, CCLRC is exempt from the normal legal requirement to provide Employers Liability insurance, in accordance with Regulation 9, Schedule 2 of the Employers'Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Regulations 1998. Therefore, CCLRC can be regarded as self-insured in this area, in accordance with the principle of Crown Indemnity.
Public Liability: CCLRC has in excess of the £5 Million of cover required, under Policy No. RKK616226 with Royal and Sun Alliance. The current policy runs from 1/9/2006 to 31/8/2007.
Professional Indemnity: CCLRC has £5 Million of cover, under Policy No. QH0540059 with a basket of insurers headed by Markel. The current policy runs from 1/9/2006 to 31/8/2007.

Notes
Note 1
The SID 3 must be submitted electronically. In addition, please send one signed paper copy plus any further paper copies if requested by Defra. If this proposal is being made in response to a Defra competition, the electronic version must be sent as instructed. The competition details will give the deadline for receipt of bids, the number of paper copies needed, and the address to which these must be sent. Defra does not accept unsolicited proposals on this form. If, following discussions with Defra, Defra has asked you to complete this form outside of a competition, please send an electronic version, a signed paper copy and any additional paper copies requested to the Defra person with whom you had the discussion.
Note 2
This form is in primarily PDF format. It requires you to have Adobe Acrobat Reader 6 on your PC. If you do not have this version it is downloadable free of charge
from
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/ readermain.html
You must have at least Adobe Acrobat Reader 6
loaded on to your PC before you attempt to complete the form.
The PDF sections of the form are designed to provide
Defra with concise information from contractors in
each section. We do not expect you to include tables or graphics in these sections as you will have difficulty in formatting the form. The PDF sections are restricted in size and are non-expandable and you should not attempt to exceed their size otherwise text will be lost. The font type and size is set and cannot be amended.
However, there are two sections of the form where
Word templates have been embedded for contractors
to provide detailed information on a proposal and allow for flexibility in importing text, tables, CVs and/ or graphs. You should follow the guidance provided in using these templates.
You should read the additional guidance available in
the Notes to help you in completing each section.
To access the relevant note, please click on the
reference to the numbered note shown in the section.
To return to the question from the Notes page, simply
click on the Note title (i.e. note 1, note 2 etc.). This will take you back to the section to which the numbered note refers.
Note 3
This number will be given in the competition details. If your proposal is not submitted in response to a competition you must obtain a project code from the Defra official requesting the proposal.
Note 4
This is your opportunity to explain to the outside world
what this project will deliver. Please provide a general summary of the project objectives and approaches, and the anticipated results , in particular what benefits this project will achieve for Defra and the taxpayer. Please remembers your audience and that this will almost certainly include non-scientists, avoid jargon and explain acronyms.
Note 5
Based on your research plan, please give milestones
(i.e. points at which progress can be assessed) with targets for monitoring progress of the research towards the scientific objectives. These should number no more than 6 per project year. Where work is seasonal, you need only express milestones in date form but if work is not seasonal, you must express milestones in date form and in terms of numbers of months from the proposed start date e.g. month 15. The dates will be formatted automatically.
Each milestone description should not be more than
120 characters. If your application is accepted, the
Milestones will be included in the agreement between
you and the Department.
For certain projects, the Cost column must show
payments to be made at milestone points. Where a competition is held, the competition details will state whether these milestone payments apply. If in doubt, you must check with Defra before submitting your proposal.
Note 6
Controls apply to all Government sponsored statistical
surveys where there is a potential burden on businesses and/or local authorities (generally, surveys of households and individuals are outside the controls). Surveys are only acceptable if they form an essential part of the project. Where a survey is proposed, Ministerial and Defra Survey Control Unit approvals are required and time must be allowed for this before an agreement is signed. Separate approvals may be required by Survey Control Units for Wales and Scotland if respondents are within these countries. The return to question return to question return to question return to question return to question return to question
SID 3 (2/05)
Defra officer responsible for assessing your project will
seek the necessary approvals, but proposers should note that a research contract cannot be placed for a project containing a survey until provisional approval of the survey has been obtained.
Note 7
Please give details of any particular factors which
might cause delays in the achievement of the project objective(s). What are the chances of this happening; what are the probable consequences; and what steps will you take to prevent this happening?
Note 8
From 1 June 2004, it is expected that all Defra-funded
research will be performed in compliance with the requirements of the Joint Code of Practice for Research. Defra reserves the right to audit projects against the Code.
This application will not be automatically rejected if
the project will not be performed under quality assurance measures that fully meet the Code's requirements. However, you will need to specify at (Section 11, (c)) which quality assurance measures you feel are not yet in place (or are not relevant) and, where appropriate, state the timescale in which these will be addressed to meet the Code's requirements.
Where quality assurance measures require
development, appropriate interim project management arrangements should be outlined with the project milestones. These factors will be taken into account in appraising this proposal and managing the project if the proposal is successful.
The Project Leader is responsible for all the work
carried out on the project, including work supplied by sub-contractor(s). You should therefore assure yourself that the contribution they provide to the project is carried out in accordance with your stated compliance with the Code of Practice.
Note 9
It is important that the appropriate level of statistical
expertise has been applied to the research Defra funds. In particular, Defra needs to be assured that a statistical adviser has been consulted, where necessary, about the proposed research.
Note 10
Please describe and quantify the benefits which may
arise from this project, how the results will be used and who will make use of the results of this research - e.g. Defra, industry or consumers - including the level of interest/impact on industry. Where the project specification has been supplied by Defra, you should draw on this when completing this section.
Note 11
Please list anticipated numbers and if possible
expected dates for submission of publications in refereed journals, trade journals or the press, presentations or demonstrations to the scientific community or trade organisations, publications for end-users; and internal reports or publications. Where the project specification has been supplied by Defra, you must include any communication requirements laid down in that specification. Additionally, Defra invites you to add any proposals of your own to communicate the results.
Note 12
Section (d) of the Financial Guidelines explains how
equipment costs should be treated in your costings.
On rare occasions, Defra will meet the full purchase
price because it wishes to own the equipment for possible transference to another contractor in due course, e.g. air monitoring equipment. Please state clearly in this section if Defra is to fund the full cost of a piece of equipment.
Note 13
This information is required for Defra's initial
assessment of a proposal. You should only provide names, grade/job title, a brief summary of project activities and costs. Please do not repeat the level of detail of a CV required in section 16(c).
Note 14
You should show here the staff days expected to be
spent on the project, including both scientists and assistants, during each year of the project. Please make an entry for each member of staff and cross- reference to Section 16 (a) by, for example, using initials of staff member. If it is helpful in order to clarify your proposal, entries for individual staff can be broken down by task. return to question return to question return to question return to question return to question return to question return to question return to question return to question
SID 3 (2/05)
Note 15
The standard contract clause requires a minimum
cover of £5 million in respect of any single claim unless a different level of insurance is agreed. This minimum cover has been set to reflect the level currently reached by such claims generally. Most contractors that the Department deals with have such cover. However, some contractors may not, or may consider that the risk involved with a particular project justifies a lower figure. Defra will accept a lower insurance figure where it agrees it is commensurate with the risk.
Contractors should state whether they believe a lower
insurance figure is reasonable and provide justification.
It is the Department's policy to hold contractors
responsible for any costs incurred through the latter's negligence or breach of contract. The standard clause places no financial limit to this responsibility and therefore the contractor remains liable even though the claim may exceed the limit of the contractor's insurance.
Note 16
For this purpose, a small business
● has fewer than 250 employees; and ● has an annual turnover of no greater than €40
Million (about £26M) or alternatively a balance
sheet total of no higher than €27 Million (about £17M); and ● independent (that is less than 25% of the business is owned by enterprises that do not conform to the other criteria , this rule need not apply to investments that are held by public investment corporations, venture capital companies or other institutional investors provided they do no exercise control over the business).
Charities, university spin-offs, individuals and groups are
deemed to be small businesses if they fulfil the above criteria. Further details of this initiative can be found at http://www.defra.gov.uk/science/default.htm return to question return to question
SID 3 (2/05)
Financial Guidelines
The following Notes are to help you provide all the
details necessary for the project costs. (a) Pay costs
You should include the costs of personnel
working directly on the project. Defra is willing to accept pay calculations on the basis of average pay costs. In this event you should indicate the average pay used for the grade(s) in question. (b) Inflation (i)
If the project is submitted under a
competition, a percentage to cover inflation can be built into the price, but please bear in mind that overall cost is a factor in the selection process. (ii)
If the project is not submitted under a
competition, costings must be submitted at current prices, and Defra will add an allowance for inflation in line with the Treasury's forecast GDP deflator. (c) Consumables
These will be essentially scientific laboratory
supplies, (e.g. glassware, chemicals) costing individually up to £2,000 in value which are purchased from third parties. Please give brief details. (d) Equipment
Capital equipment is a fixed asset costing over
£2,000 in value which is expected to yield continuous service beyond the year in which it is purchased. It includes items such as scientific and information technology equipment. The equipment must be essential to carrying out the project. Three quotations must be obtained for each item of equipment. (See note (ii) below.)
For new equipment Defra will usually only fund
that proportion of its working life (normally 5 years) to which it is used solely on the project (i.e. if a project is of 3 years duration Defra will fund 3/5th of the cost at the rate of 1/5 each year.
Where equipment has a useful life of more than 5
years and/or is used for other purposes, you should make an appropriate reduction in the annual rental charged to Defra. Where new equipment is required please give details of the make, model, price and the year when each item is to be purchased and its purpose. Likewise, please indicate when equipment is to be leased and give details of the costs of rental for each year.
A piece of equipment may need to be allocated
full-time to a project. In such a case, the fact that an organisation owns a similar piece of equipment for use on other projects does not remove the need here for that equipment to be either purchased or hired, although the usual rules on the amount to be paid will apply. It is however for the contractor to justify such a purchase.
You may be asked by Defra to provide the
following as appropriate
(i) the original purchasing invoice or top copy of the rental agreement. This will be returned immediately after a copy has been taken; and (ii) the original written quotations obtained from three different suppliers. N.B. In appropriate cases e.g. where it can be shown that the technical specification of equipment precludes all but a single supplier, a single written quotation will be acceptable.
On rare occasions, Defra will meet the full
purchase price of a piece of equipment. This is where Defra wishes to own the equipment for possible future transference to another contractor in due course, e.g. air monitoring equipment. (e) Travel expenses
Visits to conferences and similar functions in the
U.K. or elsewhere will not normally be regarded as an eligible cost. Exceptionally, however, such costs may be funded where you can demonstrate to Defra's satisfaction that the visits are essential to the project.
Where travel and subsistence costs are necessary,
please give brief details. (f) Overheads
This covers central and departmental costs (direct)
that underpin the research activities and costs which cannot readily be uniquely assigned to particular research projects indirect These may
include the following
● financial services (finance, accounting, tendering, marketing); ● personnel services;
SID 3 (2/05)
● staff facilities (transport, health and safety, training, welfare, laundry); ● departmental services (administration, library, secretarial, printing, minor stores items and laboratory and workshop support); ● staff management, and cover for maternity and long-term sickness benefits.
In line with Government policy, Defra is
committed to meeting the full economic costs of all proposals submitted by the UK universities. (g) Sub-contracts, consultancy fees, etc. Please give brief details. (h) Other costs
You should include here items which do not
readily fit under the headings provided e.g. laboratory/analytical services, laboratory animals, servicing of equipment, any non-equipment rental charges, recruitment costs, computer software, stationery items, student registration fees and glasshouse heating.
You should provide a short explanation of the
requirement. (i) VAT
Please follow these notes carefully because, in
certain circumstances, VAT can be reclaimed from
HM Customs and Excise, thereby lowering the
cost of the research. (i)
Defra is an eligible body under the VAT
(Education) Regulations 1994. If your organisation is also an eligible body, you should not charge VAT on the total price of the research services you provide to Defra.
You may, however, include in your price, any
VAT in respect of services/items purchased in
order to carry out the research, provided you are ineligible to reclaim this VAT from HM Customs and Excise. This also applies if you are not a registered trader. (ii)
If your organisation is not an eligible body,
and is registered for VAT, you must charge
VAT at the standard rate on the total price of
the research done for Defra. Defra can recover this VAT under S41 of the VAT Act 1994. ●
Organisations in category (i) above
Include the VAT that your organisation
cannot recover from HM Customs and Excise within the price for the service/item under the appropriate section. For example, The price under'Sub-Contractor'should include any
VAT charged by the sub-contractor (do not
separately identify the VAT element). You should enter nothing in the VAT line at the foot of the cost table as this would result in double-counting. ●
Organisations in category (ii) above
Insert the VAT to be charged in the VAT line
at the foot of the cost table.
Include no VAT charges elsewhere in the cost
table as this would result in double-counting. (j) Ineligible costs
The following are excluded from eligible costs
● interest charges; ● hire purchase interest and any associated service charges; ● profit earned by a subsidiary or by an associated undertaking on work sub- contracted under the project; ●
Contingency allowances expressed as an
arbitrary percentage overall addition to eligible costs.
