## Summary

The procurement process involves the Defra Network eTendering Portal as the contracting authority for the project titled "Buglife MOA - Invertebrate Surveys Poorly Known Species," focused on marine research services. The procurement stage is at the award status, with a contract value of £106,298. The contract period commenced on 30th June 2015 and is scheduled to conclude on 29th March 2019. The initiative will take place across various locations, including the British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom, and involves comprehensive species recovery surveys for invertebrates.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in environmental services and ecological research. Businesses that can provide survey services, particularly in marine and environmental sectors, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in these activities not only contributes to biodiversity but also opens doors to further projects under government and conservation frameworks.
