Triad develops system for National Fallen Stock Company
|
|
Nov 2007 – Triad is pleased to announce that
it is to develop a Transaction Processing
System for the National Fallen Stock Company
(NFSCo) to support the administration of the
National Fallen Stock Scheme (NFSS). |
|
The NFSCo was established in 2004 to assist
the livestock industry with compliance with
the European Union’s Animal-By-Products
Regulations. The company was set up by the
Government as a not-for-profit organisation
and is run by a board consisting largely of
appointees from the farming community. The
company is responsible for running the NFSS
to provide its members with a reliable,
low-cost means of disposing of fallen stock
using approved collectors. From April 2008
the company will transfer
all of its IT and administration
services to the private sector and, as part
of this transfer, the systems that currently
support the scheme will be replaced by a new
Transaction Processing System. |
|
A Triad team will develop the new system and
provide support once live under a 2 year
support arrangement. The system includes a
secure web-site for members and collectors
and an internal administration site for
NFSCo and call centre staff. The system will
be developed using Microsoft’s .NET
framework and SQL Server database. |
|
The NFSCo contract was awarded through
the OGCbuying.solutions Catalist procurement
framework, working in partnership with
Catalist accredited supplier, PDMS Ltd. |

Triad develops Renewable
Transport Fuel Obligation
system
|
|
July 2007 - Triad is delighted to announce
that it has been awarded a contract to
develop an information management system for
the Department for Transport to support the
administration of the Renewable Transport
Fuel Obligation (RTFO). |

The
RTFO is a key part of the government’s
programme of measures to address climate
change. The main objective of the RTFO is to
reduce the amount of carbon released into
the atmosphere through the use of transport
fuels. The Department for Transport is
responsible for the delivery of the RTFO and
has designed a scheme that will ensure a
certain percentage of the UK’s total road
transport fuel sales will be derived from
renewable sources. The scheme will be
introduced from April 2008 with an RTFO
obligation of 2.5% rising to 5% by 2010–11. |
|
A Triad team will design and develop the
system which will support the full
administration of the RTFO scheme. The
system will make use of Microsoft's .NET
Framework and SQL Server database. |
|
The contract was
awarded following competitive tender and is
split into two phases. The first phase will
run through to October 2007 and will involve
design and preparatory work in consultation
with fuel suppliers and other possible
users, leading to the development of a
working demonstration. The second phase is
dependent on parliamentary approval of the
RTFO regulations and is anticipated to
commence around November 2007. The second
phase will involve pilot running with
selected fuel suppliers followed by
operational rollout and support.
