More information on the OCPP can be found here: [gov.uk](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/blue-planet-fund/ocean-country-partnership-programme-ocpp). JNCC on behalf of the OCPP is working in collaboration with the Maldives Government providing technical assistance focused on MPAs and marine biodiversity. Recently, the Environmental Protection Agency of Maldives has asked OCPP for support around improving knowledge and management of protected birds in Maldives. This contract is being delivered on behalf of the Maldives Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). - Project Aims This desk-based contract will ideally collate information on all Maldives protected bird species under the Environmental Protection & Preservation Act (4/93) using expert knowledge, published and unpublished literature, and from liaison with a Maldives-based consultant (see below). However, given the size of this task, the EPA are willing to refine the species list if necessary. The contract output will be a report which, for each species, must include the information detailed in Section 4 (below). A second contract, delivered by a Maldives-based consultant, will run in parallel. The consultant will collate and map information about seabirds and migratory birds in Maldives through engagement with the EPA and other Maldivian stakeholders. Whilst the Maldives based contract will be overseen by JNCC (on behalf of OCPP), the contractor for this desk-based contract will be required to work with the Maldives-based consultant to ensure that all relevant information that they collect is complementary and integrated in the final report. By working closely with the Maldives-based consultant, the contractor will also help to build knowledge and expertise in the country. The contractor will need to liaise with JNCC (on behalf of the OCPP), the Maldives EPA and the Maldives-based contractor throughout the contract period. Regular meetings will be held to share updates on progress, and sufficient time should be factored into planning to ensure for review and sign off by both the OCPP and the EPA. The tender documents will be shared with Maldives Environmental Protection Agency for their review prior to awarding the contract. If you do not agree to your tender application to be shared, please notify us in your submission.
