The project falls under the industry category of marine survey services. The contract spans from 22nd February 2023 to 31st July 2024. The total value of the contract is £235,779.33 GBP. The procurement method used was an open procedure above the threshold with the tender closing on 24th January 2023. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses interested in marine survey services, particularly those capable of providing strategic environmental baseline data and ecological metrics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete due to the project's focus on sustainability and minimising impact on the environment. Interested businesses should take note of the project's locations covering the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. ## Notice POSEIDON (Planning Offshore Wind Strategic Environmental Impact DecisiONs) is a Crown Estate-funded project (Offshore Wind Evidence & Change program (OWEC)) led by Natural England. The aim of the project is to provide tools to inform offshore wind planning, to minimise impacts on the natural environment through avoidance and early awareness of likely mitigation / compensation needs, allowing sustainable expansion of offshore wind. This will be achieved through the collection of strategic environmental baseline data and updated spatial models for key species (receptors), assemblages, and a suite of ecological metrics (diversity, functional traits). These will be used to identify regions that are most vulnerable to offshore wind impact and mapping of the environmental risk to help guide future offshore wind development rounds and to feed into wider marine planning. This procurement was sub-divided into 3 Lots as set out in the Specification of Requirements. Lot 3 - Celtic Sea Lot 4 - Southwest Lot 5 - English Channel This award is for Lot 5 - English Channel. Note that Lot 1 (North Sea) and Lot 2 (Irish Sea) of this POSEIDON project were tendered and awarded in 2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/32bfab2e-1d0e-49f6-9792-733aa66f8ac9 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 24 Jan 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Feb 2023 | | Contract period | 22 Feb 2023 - 31 Jul 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £418,725 | | 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 | CEFAS | | Locality | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | OCEAN ECOLOGY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71354500 - Marine survey services ## Release History - 16 Jun 2023 at 09:17 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/32bfab2e-1d0e-49f6-9792-733aa66f8ac9 - 23 Feb 2023 at 11:21 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/529b9806-5751-4d3c-811b-7be6f45cda88 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/32bfab2e-1d0e-49f6-9792-733aa66f8ac9 16th June 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/529b9806-5751-4d3c-811b-7be6f45cda88 23rd February 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7445b89d-db3f-4b91-83a4-b0d7a42a479d CEFAS22-150 Condtions_of_Contract (OWEC POSEIDON - Lot 5)_v3_SIGNED_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f791eeff-c975-43ef-befa-de06a492132f CEFAS22-150 Condtions_of_Contract (OWEC POSEIDON - Lot 5)_v3_SIGNED_Redacted ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
