## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, aimed at providing an approach to impulsive noise mitigation in English waters. This tender is classified under the services category, specifically in the environmental engineering and research sectors, with a focus on regulatory requirements for UXO clearance, seismic surveys, and offshore wind activities. The tender is currently in the active stage with a submission deadline set for 19th November 2021. The contract is anticipated to commence on 15th December 2021 and run until 20th May 2022. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, making it accessible to a broad range of suppliers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the environmental consultancy, research, and evaluation services sectors, particularly those with expertise in noise mitigation and engineering consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, making this an ideal opportunity for innovative and environmentally-focused businesses seeking to expand their operations in the UK’s marine sector.

## Notice

The purpose of this project is to provide Defra and BEIS with information and a series of proposals to inform the management of impulsive noise in English waters; in particular, whether a new approach is needed for noise mitigation. The work will investigate regulatory requirements and mitigation for UXO clearance, seismic surveys, and offshore wind piling activities. The geographic scope would be both inside and outside of Marine Protected Areas (e.g. harbour porpoise SACs) in English waters (0 - 200 nautical miles or to the median line). The research would investigate both existing and new methods for noise abatement and mitigation, including approaches in use or tested in other countries.
