## Summary

The procurement process involves the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), which is seeking contractors for the project titled "External Decision Making and Implementation Mapping of Marine Plans." This initiative falls under the services category and has an allocated budget of £20,000. The procurement method utilised is a selective, restricted procedure, with the tender period concluding on 18 August 2017. The project is based in England and will run from 16 October 2017 until 30 April 2018, as the MMO advances marine plans for various regions, including the South West and North East of England.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in data conversion, collection, and analysis services to engage with public contracts, particularly suited for SMEs and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can address challenges related to marine space utilisation, such as optimising offshore development or exploring new tidal energy technologies, will find this procurement process particularly relevant for growth. By collaborating with the MMO, businesses can contribute to significant marine planning efforts while expanding their service offerings in a competitive market.

## Notice

The Marine Management Organisation (the MMO) is seeking to procure contractors to deliver the project "External decision making and implementation mapping". This project, funded by European Marine and Fisheries Fund monies, is set to run from August 2017 until the end April 2018. Between 2016 and 2020, the MMO will be developing marine plans for the South West, South East, North West, and North East of England's marine area. During the marine plan development process stakeholders put forward issues that they would like addressing (identifying the change they want to see). As identified through marine planning in other areas to date, generally these issues manifest themselves as challenges parties face in: * Making use of marine spaces (e.g. where there are overlapping demands such as between fishing activities and cables). * Opportunities for optimising use (e.g. achieving offshore wind and conservation objectives in the same area). * Ideas for new types of future development (e.g. emerging tidal energy technologies).
