This opportunity falls under the services category, specifically related to environmental training and services, and is located in Scotland, United Kingdom. The open tender procedure is currently active, with a deadline for submissions set for 22 November 2017. The contract is scheduled to commence on 11 December 2017 and will conclude by 21 March 2018, with a total estimated value of £5,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in environmental training and incident response services. Companies with expertise in oil spill management, marine conservation, and training services would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. As JNCC seeks to run a tailored internal exercise and enhance its response capabilities, suppliers able to demonstrate relevant experience and innovative training methods will be of keen interest to the JNCC, potentially fostering long-term partnerships in environmental service provisions. ## Notice Part of JNCC's role is to provide advice in relation to oil spill incidents and this is captured in the UK National Contingency Plan and the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA) Environment Group STOp Notice 1/14. JNCC are a core member of the Environment Group (EG) and this role is carried out by the Offshore Industries Advice (OIA) team based in Aberdeen (24/7 service via an on-call phone). Our role during an incident is to provide nature conservation advice in relation to immediate environmental sensitivities offshore (i.e. outwith 12nm) for seabirds, marine mammals and Marine Protected Areas. We work closely with the other members of the EG to discuss immediate and ongoing response plans (such as the appropriateness of dispersant application, or to identify priority areas for protection). If the pollution moves inshore we continue to support the EG as necessary, though the environmental advice provision would be led by the inshore nature conservation agency going forward. We have expertise in benthic habitats, marine mammals, ornithology, survey planning and data analysis and provide input to a number of response areas, including for example Premiam post-spill monitoring, Defra incident response, MCA media etc. We have experience in providing advice as part of regular spill response exercises and in real situations, however this real-time experience is limited to a degree, given the number of real events that have occurred in the UK and required sustained input and also in relation to general staff turnover as with any organisation. A particular issue with spill exercises is that the 'future' scenario (i.e. days, weeks, months after the initial spill/ incident) is never tested. JNCC would have a major role in on-going and longer-term post-spill monitoring and how such work could influence future advice provision and as such further training in relation to this aspect is required. The OIA team are in charge of responding to an incident (on behalf of JNCC), and the team has been through various levels of training and exercising. We have internal pollution response guidance, and a number of tools and checklists we use to help facilitate our response. However, OIA staff often have to liaise with other teams within JNCC who may not have the same level of understanding as to how the UK response set up is structured, or how incident response/ EG format works. Therefore we'd like to run a tailored internal exercise whereby a full EG is set up and simulated, with JNCC staff both observing and role playing. The exercise could run over two days, with day one simulating day one of an incident, and day two focusing on months down the line, stimulating discussions around post-spill impact assessment and monitoring. There should be facilitated, role played media involvement, injects to the scenario, and room for JNCC to discuss openly our involvement and likely stance/ advice. Please note the duration and times suggested for the course are negotiable. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/89f60314-0969-406e-a795-1cbd749c42d4 | | Notice type | Tender 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 | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 22 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Dec 2017 - 21 Mar 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000 | | 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 | JNCC SUPPORT CO | | Locality | PETERBOROUGH | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE1 1JY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH41 Peterborough | | Local authority | Peterborough | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Peterborough | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 76 - Services related to the oil and gas industry - 80 - Education and training services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 76500000 - Onshore and offshore services - 80540000 - Environmental training services - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 2 Nov 2017 at 13:05 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/89f60314-0969-406e-a795-1cbd749c42d4 - 1 Nov 2017 at 14:14 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/89f60314-0969-406e-a795-1cbd749c42d4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/89f60314-0969-406e-a795-1cbd749c42d4 2nd November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/34f8ac58-ac80-41ea-849c-64663fe89de6 C17-0237-1074 documents - http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-7492 Contract on JNCC website ## Notice URLs - http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
