This procurement, classified under 'Environmental services' (CPV ID: 90700000), is based in the East of England, United Kingdom, and concerns enhancements identified during a workshop held in Male in July 2024. The procurement is at the tender stage, with the tender period closing on 1st October 2024 at 09:00 BST. The contract will commence on 7th October 2024 and will run until 20th March 2025. This open procedure (below threshold) has a project value of £15,000 GBP. This tender presents a significant opportunity for web development firms, particularly SMEs, to engage in a high-profile environmental project with the JNCC, a prominent UK government advisory body. This contract entails developing website amendments to enhance the functionality of the Maldives PCA Website, focusing on the permit portal section. Companies with expertise in bilingual (English and Dhivehi) web development, user interface optimisation, and environmental conservation projects will be well-suited to compete. Successful completion could position the winning business favourably for future government and environmental contracts. ## Notice JNCC co-leads the Marine Biodiversity theme of the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP), a UK government-led programme under the Blue Planet Programme. In 2023, OCPP and the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy (MCCEE) worked with a web developer to prepare a website on Protected and Conserved Areas in Maldives, see https://protectedareas.environment.gov.mv/en The site provides information about protected areas in the Maldives and an onsite booking portal to allow permits to be applied for. The website is fully bilingual between English and Dhivehi. The website was launched in January 2024, however, users of the site have identified some issues with the functionality that will require further development to support effective use of the site. This particularly relates to the permit portal section of the site. In July 2024, a workshop was held in Male with staff from MCCEE, the Environmental Protection Agency, and local MPA staff from the 3 Maldives Biosphere Reserves. The workshop gathered feedback on the website and developed a prioritised list of amendments that are required to improve the functionality of the site. This contract is for a web developer to support delivery of the amendments needed to the current website. The contractor will need to work closely with the MCCEE and the project manager contracted to support the delivery of this work. Sufficient time for testing and use will be required within the contract, and final payment will only be made once issues identified through the testing are resolved.
