The buying organisation, Cefas, has issued a tender titled "CEFAS24-79 Request for Quotation for technical advisory services on Risk Assessment related to shipping-related pollution in Sri Lanka" within the services industry category. The procurement involves providing risk assessment services for maritime spills and aquatic resources in Sri Lanka. The tender has a value of £40,000 and a deadline for submissions by 28th June 2024. The contract period is set to start on 1st July 2024 and end on 31st March 2025. This opportunity allows small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the consultancy services sector to bid for providing technical advisory services related to risk assessment. Businesses with expertise in environmental risk assessment, marine science, and consultancy services would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The tender provides a chance to contribute to environmental protection efforts in Sri Lanka and support the objectives of the Ocean Country Partnership Programme funded by UK official development assistance. ## Notice The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) is funded through UK official development assistance (ODA) as part of the UKs Blue Planet Fund. It aims to strengthen marine science expertise, develop science-based policy and management tools, and create educational resources for coastal communities under three main objectives described in terms of marine pollution, sustainable seafood, and marine biodiversity. It supports activities in partnership with country governments directed towards capacity building for marine science in local institutions, organisations and communities. Shipping-related Pollution: Whilst the number of shipping-related pollution incidents has gradually decreased with improvements to ship safety and training over recent decades, the risk of shipping incidents remains. This is due to the rapid expansion of international trade, where there is still the potential for occasional large high-profile incidents to occur through collision and/or grounding, as well as emerging activities such as oil exploration activities and development of petroleum refinery. Spills can include pollutants such as hydrocarbons, plastics, and hazardous and noxious substances. Recent high-profile events such as the MV Wakashio grounding on the outer reef of Mauritius, spilling ~820 tonnes of low sulphur fuel oil into the surrounding environment and the X-press Pearl which caught fire and spilled oil and plastic pellets along the coast of Sri Lanka, demonstrate first-hand the devastating impacts of such incidents. Such incidents can threaten marine biodiversity, world heritage sites and the livelihoods of coastal communities. There is a need to understand the risk posed by spills to inform proactive preparedness for such spills. Compared with other parts the of the world, the capacity of countries in the Indian Ocean region to respond to maritime disasters still remains a challenge. Government agencies are seeking to address this and have taken steps towards reinforcing pollution response capability. Risk Assessments are a useful tool to help understand the relative risks and to support environmental management decision making, and can be used to inform management decisions, based on the assessed risk to ecological and economic marine resources. Requirement: Work Package 1: Risk Assessment Report for Sri Lanka This report will include an assessment of risk of maritime spills and risk to aquatic resources (e.g. commercial, habitats and species). The Assessment will evaluate data and information from the period 2018 to present.
