## Summary

The EU SUPPLY LIMITED is inviting tenders for the Development of Regulatory Frameworks to Support Maritime Innovation. The procurement belongs to the services category (CPV code: 73000000), focusing on research and development services. The initiative is in the South West region of the United Kingdom and is at the tender stage. The closing date for tender submissions is 26th January 2024, and the contract period is scheduled from 1st February 2024 to 31st March 2025.

This tender opportunity presents a chance for specialised consultants in research and development services to engage with regulatory authorities and contribute to the development of clean propulsion systems for prototype vessels. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the maritime innovation sector are well-suited to compete in this process. The University of Exeter is leading this project with partnerships with various organisations, offering a collaborative environment for innovative solutions in maritime regulations and technology.

## Notice

2.1 This project seeks to develop an evidence-based framework for testing prototype vessels with novel clean propulsion systems, through a partnership of regulators (Maritime and Coastguard Agency, MCA), innovators and local authorities. The project is led by Plymouth City Council (PCC), with the Centre for Future Clean Mobility at the University of Exeter leading the project aspects on clean propulsion. Other partners are University of Plymouth (UoP) and Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML). The project requires a specialist consultant to engage with MCA, to help draft new regulations, in partnership with MCA, for prototype vessels testing clean propulsion systems at sea, to investigate approaches used by other nations' regulators, and to liaise with a user group of UK stakeholders (much of which is already formed). All of this will be in partnership with CFCM.
