## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has completed the awarding stage for the contract titled "RDE611 MaRePo+ species (phase 2)", which falls under the category of Research and Development Consultancy Services (CPV: 73200000). The contract pertains to marine species restoration and evidence building for Marine Net Gain, spanning various geographical locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The contract period commenced on 22 July 2024 and will conclude on 28 March 2025, with a total value of GBP 69,154.50. The procurement process followed a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, highlighting the project's significant but targeted scope.

This tender offers robust opportunities for businesses involved in environmental consultancy, particularly those specialising in marine biology and conservation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given their suitability outlined in the procurement criteria. Businesses with expertise in developing action plans for threatened marine species, and those capable of contributing to wider evidence-building initiatives, would find this tender particularly beneficial for growth and expansion within the domain of environmental research and development. The successful completion of this project by Howell Marine Consulting showcases the potential prosperity and market presence similar firms could achieve in future procurement opportunities.

## Notice

This is Phase 2 of MaRePo+ species work, sitting within the larger MaRePo project. The aim is to use the output list of priority species developed in phase 1 to then develop an action plan for restoration and interventions for our most threatened and declining marine species. This should feed into wider evidence building work for Marine Net Gain.
