## Summary

The procurement process involves the Defra Network eTendering Portal seeking proposals for a project titled "Identifying where existing Environmental Impact Assessments/Habitats Regulations Assessments (EIAs/HRAs) and monitoring can/should inform new assessments and licensing conditions." This initiative falls under the marine research services category, taking place in the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently at the award stage, with a total contract value of £24,428, and the contract period running from 23rd January 2017 to 31st March 2017. The tender application period concluded on 11th January 2017, and businesses were required to register on the Bravo platform to participate in the process.

This tender presents a viable opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consulting, marine research, and impact assessment services. Companies well-versed in regulatory compliance and environmental monitoring are particularly suited to compete in this procurement. The focus on improving transparency and establishing effective mitigation measures indicates a demand for innovative solutions in the field. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, promoting a diverse range of perspectives and expertise in the tender submissions.

## Notice

Environmental mitigation measures/restrictions (i.e. licence conditions) are imposed by the MMO on almost every marine licence that is issued, some of which can place significant financial burdens on industry or impose restrictions which delay or deter development. Since vesting in 2010 the MMO has amassed a significant volume of information through delivery of its marine licensing functions. To date there has been limited stocktake and review of this evidence to better inform future decisions. It is therefore timely to conduct this review and contribute further to implementing the policies of proportionate licensing and better regulation whilst continuing to have regard to the need to protect the environment, human health, and to prevent interference with legitimate uses of the sea (and such other matters as thought relevant. In addition, increasing the evidence base on the use of mitigation measures/restrictions will have the following impacts: * Providing appropriate protection for sensitive habitats and species; * Decreasing reliance on the precautionary principle where evidence to date has been lacking; * Helping to ensure that mitigation measures / restrictions are necessary and effective; * Facilitating proportionate evidence requests; * Improving relationships with customers by increasing transparency in the decision making process; and * Improving access to existing data. 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.
