This initiative falls under the research and development category, particularly focusing on marine conservation strategy planning. Located in Wales, the procurement is at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 29th November 2021. The contract, which aims to engage a local contractor to map out restoration efforts for 10 hectares of seagrass by 2025, has a budget range of £10,000 to £20,000 and is set to commence on 1st December 2021, concluding on 31st May 2022. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in environmental consultancy and marine conservation. Businesses that can provide detailed project activity planning and have experience in community engagement will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The project's focus on restoring vital ecosystems makes it an attractive prospect for firms looking to expand their portfolio in sustainable development and environmental management. ## Notice BACKGROUND For the last 2 years WWF UK has been working in partnership with Swansea University and Project Seagrass to demonstrate the feasibility and create a blueprint for large scale seagrass restoration in the UK to support ocean recovery and restore vital ecosystem services provided by healthy seagrass meadows, services that have diminished with the loss of up to 92% of the UK's seagrass over the last century. Our aim is to provide a blueprint for both the physical restoration process, as well as community and stakeholder involvement in the design, implementation and management of seagrass restoration projects. In turn, we believe this will help inform approaches of other coastal habitat restoration projects. The intention of this contract is to engage a local contractor based in North Wales to work with the project partners to develop a detailed Project Activity plan, meeting NLHF funding specifications, mapping the restoration and engagement work required to deliver 10ha of restored seagrass by 2025. CONTRACTING PROCESS Please provide a detailed written quote for the work described above by 29th November 2021. Please include information on your experience to deliver the work.
