Description

Total Quantity or Scope

Services to support wider marine planning initiatives such as the further roll-out of the Marine Protected Area (MPA) management measures and the delivery of Highly Protected Marine Areas, update of the National Marine Plan and related sectoral policies may also be required through the framework. The framework will also be required to support projects that contribute to wider protection of vulnerable marine features, climate change mitigation in the marine environment, as well as national conservation strategies for features such as mobile species. This is likely to involve the analysis of data from scientific survey work in relation to Priority Marine Features (PMFs). It is also envisaged that the framework may be required to cover work related to new legislative powers given to Scottish Ministers in relation to the management of the marine environment. This may involve sectoral policy development and review, scientific survey work and data analysis in relation to a broad range of environmental topics and marine sectors. Information will be provided by Marine Scotland defining requirement and suitable plans, tools or services will be provided in response by the Supplier.
