## Summary

The procurement process titled "Marine Ecosystem Health: A Streamlined Approach for Assessments Through Integration, Harmonisation and Forecasting" is led by JNCC Support Co based in Peterborough, England. This tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on data analysis and environmental services, with an estimated contract value of £50,000. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 4 September 2019, and the contract scheduled to commence on 16 September 2019, lasting until 27 March 2020.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, data analysis, and marine assessments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as they can contribute innovative solutions to the project’s aim of improving the assessment of marine ecosystem health. Given its focus on integrating and forecasting marine data, firms with expertise in ecological modelling, data integration, and environmental policy compliance would be well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The project aims to review and assess the capacity of existing models and methods to produce integrated assessments of the status and health of marine ecosystems (in particular for habitats) to address multiple national and international environmental policy commitments and thereby streamlining marine ecosystem assessments. The suitability of these models to forecast and predict changes due to variations of environmental conditions or management practices will need to be assessed. This work is required in order to develop a more efficient and streamlined method of holistically assessing and reporting on the state of the marine environment at a range of scales from local to international. The ability to predict how environmental changes and human activities will impact the marine environment will assist us to manage and mitigate, ensuring necessary protection and sustainable use going forward. The contractor will be required to identify existing data gaps and the next steps to producing an operational model, method or framework capable of integrating, harmonising and forecasting for marine ecosystem assessments. The results from this contract will help to inform assessments and reporting subsequent to the UK's departure from the EU.
