Summary of the contracting process

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is conducting a procurement process for the project titled "Marine Isles of Scilly," which is focused on marine research services. The aim is to establish a marine Special Protection Area (SPA) around the Isles of Scilly to safeguard seabirds, specifically targeting shags. The tender was published on 20 October 2016 and concluded on 16 November 2016. The contract, valued at £21,910, is set to commence on 5 December 2016 and will run until 31 March 2017. This open procurement method invites a wide range of participants to submit their proposals for the project, which is to be executed in the UK, specifically within English waters.

This opportunity can significantly benefit businesses specialising in marine research and environmental consultancy, particularly those experienced in spatial modelling and ecological studies. Companies that focus on avian ecology, marine biology, and environmental protection are well-positioned to compete successfully for this contract. The inclusion of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) as suitable bidders highlights a commitment to fostering diverse competition and innovation within the tendering process.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Marine Isles of Scilly

Notice Description

Natural England is seeking to identify a boundary for a marine SPA around the existing Isles of Scilly SPA, which is currently limited in extent to the land. This will offer protection to seabirds of the existing SPA using marine waters around the islands, and bring this SPA in line with other SPAs in the UK which already have marine extensions or plans for such additional marine protection. Data collection has focused on identifying the most important marine areas for shags Phalacrocorax aristotelis. Shags form a main component of the breeding seabird assemblage feature of the existing SPA. This species is amenable to defining a boundary at sea because of its predictable, relatively short foraging range, specialist feeding ecology and the relative ease with which data on shag distribution can be collected. We wish to conduct an analysis to establish a recommended boundary for the new proposed marine SPA, based on a spatial modelling approach. It is anticipated that analysis will incorporate data on shag distribution and a suite of environmental variables considered possible / likely to predict shag distribution. The work will need to pay close attention to the methods employed in similar boundary setting exercises that have already been conducted for marine SPAs for inshore waterbirds and foraging terns. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered. Could I therefore request that you register on the Bravo portal for Defra.
