This initiative falls under the Environmental Services category (CPV: 90700000) and primarily focuses on mapping career pathways in the environmental sector within Maldives to promote interest in related courses at Maldives National University. The procurement is based on an open procedure (below threshold) with a project value of £14,000. The tender stage begins on 22nd August 2024 and ends on 16th September 2024, with the project expected to run from 30th September 2024 to 17th March 2025. Interested parties should submit their proposals before the deadline. This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, career mapping, and educational content creation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular will find this tender suitable. The project involves developing digital leaflets in both English and Dhivehi, focusing on eight specific job roles to raise awareness of career opportunities within the environmental and marine sectors in Maldives. Businesses equipped with expertise in digital publication, vocational training, and environmental project management will be well-positioned to compete for this tender, paving the way for further engagements in this sector. ## Notice Project Aims The Maldives is home to a rich environment, and biodiversity supports over 90% of Maldives GDP. However, the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy often struggles to fill job vacancies, and Maldives National University often doesn't have interest in their environmental courses. This contract focuses on the development of a series of case studies mapping career pathways in the environmental sector in Maldives. The aim is to raise awareness of jobs in the environmental and marine sector in Maldives to encourage students to study environmental courses at Maldives National University. This in turn, aims to then support interest in suitably qualified staff applying for jobs in the sector across the country. The main deliverable would be a digital leaflet providing the career case studies, focused on 8 job examples. Two versions of the leaflet will be provided, one in English and one in Dhivehi. 3. Project Background The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) has been working in partnership with the Government of Maldives to explore opportunities to support effective management of their marine environment. The partnership is providing demand-led technical assistance around two key themes: marine biodiversity and marine pollution. The Marine Biodiversity strand of the OCPP aims to: * Increase understanding of the value of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in supporting sustainable livelihoods, food security, health and well-being; * Increase understanding of MPA theory and practice, including evidence gathering, identification, selection, monitoring and assessment of MPAs; * Increase support and compliance for MPAs with stakeholders; and * Enhance capability and drive within countries to sustainably manager, monitor and assess conservation activities in the future. More information on the OCPP programme, can be accessed via this link:: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/blue-planet-fund/ocean-country-partnership-programme-ocpp. The OCPP has also been working with Maldives National University to support sustainable human development with knowledge and skills on the development of an MPA short course, providing knowledge on best practice for MPA management. Increasing awareness with communication materials and the provision of training are complimentary activities in this program of support. This contract is being delivered on behalf of the Government of Maldives Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy (MCCEE) and Maldives National University (MNU).
