This project, classified under environmental services (CPV: 90700000), is intended to collate information on protected bird species in the Maldives. The project aims to produce detailed reports and maps by working alongside a Maldives-based consultant. The procurement process is in the 'Tender' stage with an open procedure method. The contract's delivery location is in the East of England, United Kingdom, and the tender period concludes on 2 September 2024, with the contract running from 16 September 2024 to 10 March 2025. The estimated contract value is £25,000 GBP. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in ornithology and biodiversity conservation. SMEs are encouraged to apply, making it a viable opportunity for smaller enterprises looking to expand their portfolio with an international collaborative project. Successful bidders will work closely with both UK and Maldivian authorities, enhancing cross-national expertise and contributing to the conservation of marine biodiversity. Businesses with strong research capabilities and experience in producing detailed environmental reports are well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice 2. Project Background JNCC co-leads the Marine Biodiversity theme of the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP), a UK government-led programme under the Blue Planet Programme. More information on the OCPP can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/blue-planet-fund/ocean-country-partnership-programme-ocpp. JNCC on behalf of the OCPP is working in collaboration with the Maldives Government providing technical assistance focused on MPAs and marine biodiversity. Recently, the Environmental Protection Agency of Maldives has asked OCPP for support around improving knowledge and management of protected birds in Maldives. This contract is being delivered on behalf of the Maldives Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 3. Project Aims This desk-based contract will ideally collate information on all Maldives protected bird species under the Environmental Protection & Preservation Act (4/93) using expert knowledge, published and unpublished literature, and from liaison with a Maldives-based consultant (see below). However, given the size of this task, the EPA are willing to refine the species list if necessary. The contract output will be a report which, for each species, must include the information detailed in Section 4 (below). A second contract, delivered by a Maldives-based consultant, will run in parallel. The consultant will collate and map information about seabirds and migratory birds in Maldives through engagement with the EPA and other Maldivian stakeholders. Whilst the Maldives based contract will be overseen by JNCC (on behalf of OCPP), the contractor for this desk-based contract will be required to work with the Maldives-based consultant to ensure that all relevant information that they collect is complementary and integrated in the final report. By working closely with the Maldives-based consultant, the contractor will also help to build knowledge and expertise in the country. The contractor will need to liaise with JNCC (on behalf of the OCPP), the Maldives EPA and the Maldives-based contractor throughout the contract period. Regular meetings will be held to share updates on progress, and sufficient time should be factored into planning to ensure for review and sign off by both the OCPP and the EPA. The tender documents will be shared with Maldives Environmental Protection Agency for their review prior to awarding the contract. If you do not agree to your tender application to be shared, please notify us in your submission. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99222cb8-b441-48c1-8885-03f43fd6b93f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 2 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Sep 2024 - 10 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | JNCC SUPPORT CO | | Locality | PETERBOROUGH | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE2 8YY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH41 Peterborough | | Local authority | Peterborough | | Electoral ward | Fletton and Stanground | | Westminster constituency | North West Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 8 Aug 2024 at 16:12 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99222cb8-b441-48c1-8885-03f43fd6b93f - 8 Aug 2024 at 16:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99222cb8-b441-48c1-8885-03f43fd6b93f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/99222cb8-b441-48c1-8885-03f43fd6b93f 8th August 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cb6c2a75-fe14-4712-8ae5-8f9394d02532 C24-0604-1928 ITT documents for Ocean Country Partnership Programme: Maldives Expert Advice on seabirds and migratory birds in Maldives - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/497b2237-67a6-4aa9-9368-75fed1741cab C24-0604-1928 ITT Documents Ocean Country Partnership Programme: Maldives Expert Advice on seabirds and migratory birds in Maldives ## Notice URLs - http://jncc.gov.uk - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/blue-planet-fund/ocean-country-partnership-programme-ocpp ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
