The procurement stage was selective, with a tender period ending on 27th February 2023, and a contract period from 1st March to 31st March 2023. The project involved developing a systems map for marine monitoring in the UK, aiming to identify opportunities and challenges for effective delivery. The contract was awarded to Howell Marine Consulting, with a total value of £6,850 GBP. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, especially in the research and development consultancy sector, to engage with Defra in transforming marine monitoring processes. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can contribute to high-level critical analysis and system mapping would be well-suited to compete. By participating in this tender, businesses can not only gain valuable experience but also potentially establish long-term relationships with Defra for future projects in marine monitoring and related fields. ## Notice The project aims to develop a systems map to provide an overarching picture of UK marine monitoring delivery requirements and the relevant governance structures therein. The project will extend to conducting high-level critical analysis of the developed systems map, to identify prominent opportunities and challenges for the effective delivery and transformation of marine monitoring in the UK. The systems mapping work will form a foundational piece of a longer-term workstream to transform marine monitoring. In particular, the systems map will help Defra identify key parameters of monitoring programmes which should be investigated in a future audit of marine monitoring. Collectively, this will allow Defra to begin driving strategic decisions on marine monitoring from a firm basis of understanding on existing programmes, their motivations, and their interactions. The primary outputs of the project will be: 1. Systems map of marine monitoring in the UK. The systems map should be dynamic allowing the resource to be adjusted by Defra in future (for example, a Miro Board). 2. Report to accompany the systems map, providing narrative and context including high-level analysis of opportunities and challenges for the effective delivery and transformation of marine monitoring in the UK ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3b47e604-b1d4-477b-b53f-088fefd3fdd4 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | 27 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Feb 2023 | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2023 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,850 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £6,850 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 5AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Hotwells and Harbourside | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HOWELL MARINE CONSULTING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 30 Mar 2023 at 07:37 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3b47e604-b1d4-477b-b53f-088fefd3fdd4 - 29 Mar 2023 at 13:09 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c611d5a-8954-4c0f-9c67-ebfaaaac0f71 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3b47e604-b1d4-477b-b53f-088fefd3fdd4 30th March 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c611d5a-8954-4c0f-9c67-ebfaaaac0f71 29th March 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
