Businesses capable of providing regional legal services or possessing experience in marine-related legislation enforcement may find this contract particularly advantageous for growth and expansion in the public sector market.

## Notice

MMO legal team provides legal advice to support MMO functions. However, there remains a need for additional supervised external legal resource in order to properly deal with aspects of criminal litigation arising from the MMO's lead role in enforcing marine related legislation. The objective of this project is to establish a call-off agreement to cover the provision of external legal support for criminal litigation in the Eastern Marine Area. This is an interim solution while provision of Legal Services is reviewed as part of Defra Transformation 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.
