documentType: technicalSelectionCriteria

scheme: CELEX

description:
The Marine Directorate (MD) has a requirement for an external provider to undertake marine sampling for a selection of target species across a range of functional groups (e.g. fish, benthic and plankton) at four offshore wind farm sites and adjacent control areas, on the east coast of Scotland. Sampling will be carried out across 3 phases: winter 2025-spring 2026 , summer 2026 and autumn 2026.
This sampling work will contribute to the ECOCHANGE Project (Consequences of Changes to Habitats and implications for a Net Gain Energy approach), led by the Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate, alongside the University of Liverpool the University of Glasgow SUERC and funded by The Crown Estate’s Offshore Wind Evidence and Change programme. The samples collected through this work will be analysed through a subsequent workstream (not included in the scope of this contract) and the data will ultimately provide insight into the food web structure within the North Sea marine ecosystem and how food webs may be impacted by OWF infrastructure. Understanding this relationship is crucial with the increase in development of OWFs to reach Net Zero targets. This work will shed light on the effect of OWF infrastructure on marine biodiversity which will inform Marine Enhancement and Nature Positive policies.

****PRELIMINARY MARKET ENGAGEMENT****
We are seeking to engage with organisations to gather information and explore potential solutions for achieving the Social Connectedness objectives.
This Preliminary Market Engagement is being undertaken to seek ideas and information from interested organisations by completing a questionnaire to:
•	Ensure any future service is well designed, efficient, effective, delivering value for money and meets people's needs and desired outcomes.
•	Design of the service level agreement.
•	Determine the capacity of the market to supply the service and the level of interest in the anticipated forthcoming service procurement.
Derbyshire County Council's intention is to develop and design services for social connection to provide effective, prevention focused social connection initiatives to reduce loneliness, improve wellbeing, make best use of community assets, and increase the resilience of local communities.
DCC will be considering a range of commissioning arrangements, with initial ideas for geographical 'lots' set out in the project information document and we are keen to hear from potential providers on the options they believe could work best or other options.
The contract length currently under consideration will be for 2 years from November 2026, with the option to extend for 1 further period of twelve months.
The funding for the model is allocated at £400,000 per annum, with a total potential financial envelope of £1.2m (if the extension option is taken).
