The objectives of this report are: - To assess the quantity of UK commercial aquatic species reliant on coastal blue carbon habitats for an aspect of their life histories e.g., forage grounds, nursery grounds, etc. - To determine to what extent fishers know and understand the role that coastal blue carbon habitats play in supporting the species that they target. - To assess the potential impact on commercial species from further degradation/loss of coastal blue carbon habitats. This would cover environmental, social, and economic impacts both to the stock as well as fishers in terms of reduced quota. - To identify the value of restoring and protecting 15-30% the UKs coastal blue carbon habitats could have on the UKs commercial aquatic species (socio-economic and environmental). - To assess the wider benefits to restoring and protecting coastal blue carbon habitats in terms of other ecosystem services e.g., water quality, recreational fishers, aquaculture, flood defence, blue carbon etc. - To develop recommendations on how UK wild-catch fishing sector can engage with restoration and protection projects. - To develop recommendations to government on how to support the wild-catch sector in engaging on coastal blue carbon habitat restoration and protection projects. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ddc37fc-51b7-4486-8b18-fee4c9e25d43 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Apr 2023 | | Submission deadline | 10 May 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 May 2023 - 25 Aug 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WWF-UK (WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE) TRADING LIMITED | | Locality | WOKING | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU21 4LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Woking | | Electoral ward | Horsell | | Westminster constituency | Woking | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 24 Apr 2023 at 13:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ddc37fc-51b7-4486-8b18-fee4c9e25d43 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ddc37fc-51b7-4486-8b18-fee4c9e25d43 24th April 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/53b57e2d-dd3c-42c4-bd59-ce131033dee9 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3c43f0a7-00ab-404f-b958-1eeb21e5f259 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ced6fc93-8b79-4992-8107-408978cb2fc2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/271953bf-9008-41d5-9b04-3b6dc6325b3c ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
