## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Identification of Sites for Habitat Creation" is carried out by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This initiative falls under the marine survey services category and aims to enhance evidence regarding potential significant habitats within British Oversea Territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, and the wider United Kingdom. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the tender has recently been awarded with a total value of £80,000. The contract commenced on 28th February 2018 and is set to run until 12th April 2019, following a tender period that concluded on 22nd January 2018.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental services and marine conservation strategy planning, especially those supporting sustainable practices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as their expertise in habitat creation and maintenance may align well with the project objectives. Engaging in this contract can help these businesses expand their operations while contributing to vital environmental protection initiatives.

## Notice

The MMO has identified, through stakeholder engagement (as part of marine planning) and through internal engagement and analysis that there is a need to increase the amount of evidence in relation to: a) creating a publicly available, national dataset showing the type and location of sites with potential to become significant habitats. This dataset would be able to be integrated into existing information systems, to show where these sites may be. This project would look to recommend ways to keep this dataset up to date in a cost-effective and timely fashion b) using this information and an analysis of existing policy and delivery initiatives to assess what role there may be for marine planning and marine licensing in either safeguarding these sites or advising applicants of their existence, in relation to individual applications. This has been highlighted as an issue by stakeholders through marine planning stakeholder engagement and independently is something the marine conservation team had identified as a need. The intended result is to try and improve the environmental policy provision in marine plans and contribute more to environmental protection, whilst helping the economy to flourish.
