This initiative falls under the services category, specifically focusing on marine research and investigation services. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 23rd March 2017. The contract is anticipated to commence on 4th April 2017 and continue until 3rd September 2017, covering various locations including the United Kingdom and the British Overseas Territories. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in marine research, environmental services, and investigative services, particularly those that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that excel in stakeholder engagement and are adept at navigating complex marine environments would find this procurement particularly suitable. Participation in this tender provides a chance to contribute to the crucial planning of England's marine areas, potentially enhancing business visibility and strengthening market presence in the marine services sector. ## Notice The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is seeking to procure contractors to assist in the organisation and administration of an efficient and cost-effective Independent Investigation for the South inshore and offshore South Marine Plans. The South plans are the second set of plans developed to manage England's marine area. The South Marine Plan areas are very busy with many users and industries. The risk of conflict is therefore high. As the plans go forward for adoption, an Independent Investigation may be required to test and resolve any challenges made by stakeholders regarding the content of the plans. An Independent Investigation will ensure the plans are lawful, sound, fit for purpose and well received.
