This project focuses on enhancing tools to manage underwater noise, particularly concerning harbour porpoise Special Areas of Conservation (SACs). The procurement falls under the "Environmental services" category and is located in the East of England, UK. Interested bidders must submit their proposals by 16:00 on 19th September 2024, with the contract running from 1st October 2024 to 31st March 2025. The project's budget is £60,000, and the procurement method is an open procedure. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental management, software development, and related fields to contribute to an important environmental initiative. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, making it an excellent opening for those aiming to establish or expand their footprint in the environmental services industry. Successful bidders will not only secure a valuable contract but also play a pivotal role in advancing underwater noise management technology, thereby supporting sustainable marine practices. ## Notice The management of underwater noise is currently hindered by several barriers, mainly surrounding evidence. One key focus is obtaining data on activities that result in impulsive noise that could cause disturbance to marine mammals so we can better assess impacts on the marine environment, in particular on harbour porpoise Special Areas of Conservation (SACs). The UK governments has committed to quadrupling offshore wind by 2030.In addition, activities relating to Carbon Capture, Unloading and Storage (CCUS) and Gas unloading and storage (GU&S) are increasing. This will likely increase the pressures resulting from noisy activities in UK waters. Tools such as the UK Marine Noise Registry (MNR) are imperative in allowing better coordination and management of noisy activities across marine industries. A third phase of development (herafter referred to as Phase III) is now needed to further improve the user experience for data input and outputs and enhance functionalities that will help with data collection and data outputs which will facilitate the management of noise, particularly in harbour porpoise SACs.The proposed developments will be based on feedback gathered during user testing sessions as well as submissions made to the Jira software by JNCC staff and general MNR users. Special focus will be given to suggested improvements to the novel 'Disturbance Tool'.
