## Summary

This procurement process, led by Cefas, concerns the project titled "CEFAS24-122 - Contract for Assessing Susceptibility to Climate Change of Important UK Marine Species." Classified under environmental services (CPV: 90700000), the tender involves a desk-based study to analyse the thermal ranges of key UK marine species under different climate scenarios. This analysis aims to forecast species likely to be lost, decline, increase, or newly arrive in the UK due to warming sea temperatures. The procurement process utilised a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, and the contract, valued at £27,129 GBP, was awarded to SAMS Enterprise Ltd. The contract period runs from 12 September 2024 to 31 January 2025, encompassing a wide range of locations including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in environmental impact studies, particularly those with expertise in climate change and marine ecosystems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from engaging in specialised services that cater to environmental assessments and climate projections. Businesses involved in scientific research and marine biology, as well as consultancy firms with capabilities in data analysis and environmental modelling, are well-suited to compete for such tenders. The study's integration of IPCC climate scenarios and the mapping of species adaptation broadens the scope for niche ecological services and innovative research solutions.

## Notice

Services for desk based study to assess where important UK marine species lie within their global temperature ranges. Using climate scenarios for the UK selected from the IPCCs SSPs, the species thermal ranges and projected sea temperature increases will be used to classify the species as likely to (i) be lost from the UK, (ii) to decline, and (iii) to increase in abundance as a result of warming. By scanning the scientific literature for species living in nearby warmer European waters but not currently in the UK, such as the green ormer (Haliotis tuberculata), species that may (iv) be new arrivals in the UK with warming will be evaluated.
