## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is currently in the planning stage for the "Blue Planet Fund Stakeholder Engagement Event," which focuses on the aquatic products industry and related environmental services. The engagement end date is set for 29 April 2021, with detailed documents available to provide further insights into the tendering process. Delivery addresses for this procurement include locations across the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and various parts of Europe, including the United Kingdom. The tender process is initiated as a public tender, reflecting an open approach to sourcing relevant expertise and services.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in projects related to marine research, environmental protection, and stakeholder engagement within the aquatic sphere. Companies with expertise in oceanography, marine survey services, and research and development in environmental sectors would be particularly well-suited to compete. As the procurement process emphasises collaboration and interaction with stakeholders, businesses that excel in project management and services supporting international organisations can significantly benefit from this opportunity.
