This project aims to develop a robust evidence base concerning marine non-licensable activities and their potential impacts on marine protected areas (MPAs). The procurement is classified under marine research services and falls within the broader industry category of environmental services. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 1 December 2017. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 10 January 2018 and conclude on 1 November 2018, with participation open to both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in marine research, environmental services, and conservation strategy planning. Companies specialising in data collection, environmental assessments, or marine management practices would be particularly well-suited for this contract. The project not only contributes to the enhancement of marine conservation efforts but also allows businesses to demonstrate their expertise in a competitive and growing market. Engaging with this opportunity could facilitate valuable partnerships and enhance visibility in the sector. ## Notice Project Aim Develop a sufficiently robust evidence base on the full range and types of marine non-licensable activities, their current and potential intensity, and risk of impact on marine protected areas (MPAs). Background The MMO has an obligation under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 to further the conservation objectives of MPAs, including using its byelaw making powers and marine planning policy to directly or indirectly manage unlicensed activities. Non-licensable activities (covering a range of activities, from bait-digging for angling through to diving) within MPAs are not well understood in terms of the location or intensity in time and space.
