## Summary

The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has recently completed a public procurement process titled "Digital marine plan service user researchers (Discovery)." This project, classified under the "Information technology services" category, aims to conduct user research for digital marine plan services. The procurement method was selective, following a restricted procedure, with a total contract value of £30,000. The tender period ended on 6 November 2017, while the contract period is set from 6 November 2017 to 1 March 2018. The services can be delivered across various locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the information technology and conservation sectors, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in user research, digital services, or marine conservation strategies would be well-suited to compete. Engaging with this opportunity could enhance their business standing in relation to public sector contracts, thus supporting growth and collaboration in the digital service realm related to marine planning.
