This tender, classified under staff training services (CPV code: 80511000) and environmental services (CPV code: 90700000), aims to enhance the understanding of biotopes associated with offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the East of England, United Kingdom. The open procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with proposals due by 28th February 2018. The selected contractor will conduct a series of workshops starting from 12th March 2018 until the contract completion on 30th April 2018, for a total contract value of £5,700. This training opportunity opens doors for businesses engaged in environmental consultancy, staff training, and marine biology. Companies with expertise in community analysis and biotope classification are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as this tender exemplifies the growing demand for specialised training services in ecological and environmental sectors, presenting a significant opportunity for business growth in these fields. ## Notice The Marine Protected Sites team has been undertaking an exercise to identify knowledge gaps for offshore MPAs. This indicated that there are sites where additional information on the biotopes associated with listed protected features would enhance understanding of the structure and function of those protected features, and therefore improve our conservation advice. There are datasets available that can be used to undertake community analysis and biotope assignment from surveys within offshore MPAs. A training workshop is required to teach JNCC staff how to perform community analyses and assign biotopes according to the Marine Habitat Classification of Britain and Ireland. The training workshop will use real datasets from offshore MPAs.An example of the type of content we expect from the workshop is outlined below. We expect the workshop to take 3 days. Tenderers can use this outline as a guide, but should edit or add content, as deemed appropriate, and can suggest alternative timelines.
