## Summary

The procurement process is managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, which has recently awarded a contract for a project titled "Marine evidence based sensitivity assessment" in the industry category of Marine Research Services. This process, classified under CPV code 73112000, took place in the United Kingdom, specifically with delivery addresses extending to the British Overseas Territories and Europe. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, allowing for the award without prior publication of a contract notice. The tender period concluded on 11th November 2016, and the contract began on 16th December 2016, running until 31st March 2017, with a total contract value of £27,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their portfolios in marine and environmental services. Companies with expertise in marine research, environmental assessment, and those capable of conducting sensitivity assessments would be well-suited to engage in similar projects. By leveraging the insights from this contract, businesses can enhance their capabilities and potentially secure future government contracts in the marine research sector.

## Notice

* Comparison of the revised ICG-C list of pressures and benchmarks supplied to the contractor with existing MarLIN and MB102 pressures/benchmarks. * Scoping of relevant pressures against the species, to streamline the assessment process. * Compilation of existing evidence (MB0102/MarLIN) and sensitivity assessments for the species, * Sensitivity assessment of the species, using the MarESA methodology (see Tyler-Walters et al. 2016) based on the readily available in house evidence base, to assess sensitivity at the benchmarks, using the MarESA methodology. This step will also include a review of the evidence base, using the NMBL library, Google Scholar and specialist journal abstracting services e.g. ASFA, Science Direct, among others. The evidence base supporting the sensitivity assessments will be presented on the MarLIN website, alongside the sensitivity assessment categories, resistance and resilience scores and confidence levels. * Brief commentary if clarity is needed (e.g. where evidence conflicts).
