### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) is funded through UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) as part of the UK's Blue Planet Fund (BPF). The BPF is the UK's PS500 million programme supporting developing countries to protect the marine environment and reduce poverty. Through the OCPP, the UK government partners with ODA-eligible countries to deliver tangible and positive impacts on the livelihoods of coastal communities that depend on healthy marine ecosystems. The OCPP aims to strengthen marine science expertise, develop science-based policy and management tools, and create educational resources for coastal communities under three main objectives described in terms of marine pollution, sustainable seafood, and marine biodiversity.

Cefas requires services to identify and develop locally relevant sustainable financing mechanisms that could be used to support the legacy of the OCPP objectives, to equip communities to manage marine pollution, biodiversity, and sustainable seafood and thus improve health and livelihoods.
The Supplier will be expected to engage with different Ministries and stakeholders in Belize, to gauge risk appetite and level of support for the proposed outcomes of this Contract. It is vital that cultural considerations are at the heart of all engagement.
