The procurement falls under the industry category of Marine conservation strategy planning. The contract period runs from 24th July 2023 to 23rd July 2024. The procurement method was an open procedure with a tender period ending on 26th June 2023. The award was granted on 21st July 2023, with a contract value of £86,150 in GBP. This tender offers opportunities for businesses involved in marine conservation and port development services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from competing due to the tender's suitability for such enterprises. Companies with expertise in port upgrades, waste management logistics, and MARPOL compliance are well-suited to participate. The project aims to support Belize in enhancing its port facilities and waste management services, aligning with the Blue Planet Fund objectives for sustainable marine practices. ## Notice The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) was announced this year as a key bilateral aid programme under the PS500m Blue Planet Fund. OCPP objectives are to support countries to tackle marine pollution, support sustainable seafood practices and establish designated, well-managed and enforced Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Through OCPP, Belize wishes to further understand current capacity, and potential future development of ports and port facilities in-country. Key challenges faced by Belize include the decentralized management of various port facilities by private sector entities, which would require the development of separate partnership arrangements for the investment in, and operation of, expanded and upgraded waste management facilities to ensure MARPOL (The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) compliance is achieved. The scope of work required will encompass development and presentation of an understanding of the requirements and impacts of port upgrades to deliver MARPOL-compliant waste handling and management services, inclusive of understanding the potential ramifications upon stakeholders undertaking related maritime, coastal, and terrestrial activities. 5. Scope of Requirements a) a port(s) upgrade project feasibility study, inclusive of a needs & gap analysis, including assessment of, and consultation with, the necessary stakeholders involved in port operations and associated waste management/logistics. b) provide socio-economic and environmental assessment of the ramifications of increased activity within the maritime sector to accommodate MARPOL-compliant disposal and remediation of waste materials in accordance with the provisions of the standards and guidelines (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) (imo.org)). c) examine infrastructural interventions which may merit investment for introduction to port(s) facilities in Belize, inclusive of cost estimates and technology readiness level (TRL) of each potential intervention to achieve varied levels of MARPOL compliance. d) identify potential socio-economic and environmental impacts upon stakeholders including port(s) operators, and those in the vicinity of port(s) locations or peripheral spaces influenced by port(s) operators, in consideration of concurrent marine spatial planning being undertaken at a national level. e) determine capacity and interest in port(s) incorporating MARPOL-compliant waste management services as addendum to current business models. f) recognize potential efficiency improvements which may be realized with existing resources to improve functionality in lieu of increased MARPOL compliance accommodations across the port(s) operations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13b007c6-b337-4895-837c-18df885a5567 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Jul 2023 | | Contract period | 23 Jul 2023 - 23 Jul 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £90,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £86,150 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CEFAS | | Locality | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WREN CONSULTING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90712300 - Marine conservation strategy planning ## Release History - 27 Jul 2023 at 10:30 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13b007c6-b337-4895-837c-18df885a5567 - 27 Jul 2023 at 10:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ebae66b-97cd-4cd1-a2fc-3b54995476fd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13b007c6-b337-4895-837c-18df885a5567 27th July 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ebae66b-97cd-4cd1-a2fc-3b54995476fd 27th July 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dffa3a00-fcff-422c-ad0d-7ee801416a84 CEFAS23-74 Conditions_of_Contract_V2_signed_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8abd104b-f8f5-408e-a836-af567ef3e4ce CEFAS23-74 Conditions_of_Contract_V2_signed_Redacted ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
