Defra intends to run an open tender to procure a new long-term UK Bycatch Monitoring Programme and is seeking Expressions of Interest from suppliers capable of delivering the requirements. The programme will monitor and assess the bycatch of sensitive marine species in UK fisheries, including (but not limited to) cetaceans, seabirds, seals, and elasmobranchs. The requirement will primarily cover England and Scotland, with potential involvement from other Devolved Administrations. The successful supplier will build on the existing programme by increasing monitoring coverage where required, enhancing data collection and analysis, integrating monitoring approaches such as observer monitoring and electronic monitoring, and improving understanding of bycatch patterns across fisheries, gear types, locations and seasons. Key outputs will include bycatch monitoring data, annual bycatch estimates and trends, technical reporting, and evidence to support national and international reporting obligations. We envisage that, if a new supplier is appointed, the new contract will start on the 01 June 27 with a one (1) month handover period, from 01 June to 30 June, with full responsibility being transferred to the successful contractor on 01 July 2027. Where applicable, these handover periods are to allow a new Contractor time to get ready to take over the full operation of the contract requirement. The contract will be let for an initial two-year term, with options to extend for two x 3 -12-month periods thereafter. (a total maximum of eight year’s). We estimate the contract value to be between the range of £380,000 - £430,000 funded by Defra and the Scottish Government. The contractor will be required to provide bycatch records and annual estimates of bycatch rates for sensitive marine species, produce information on bycatch trends using historical and newly collected data, and support reporting requirements including UK Marine Strategy assessments, OSPAR, ASCOBANS, ICES and US Marine Mammal Protection Act requirements. The contractor will also be expected to maintain accurate geo-referenced and time-referenced data on monitoring effort and bycatch incidence, produce annual reports for Defra, the Scottish Government and the project steering group, and provide information to support Parliamentary Questions and Ministerial correspondence when required. The Authority strongly encourages a consortium approach, recognising the multi-disciplinary nature of the work and the benefits of bringing together relevant expertise and organisations. The successful contractor will be expected to provide dedicated programme management, maintain effective communication with Defra and the Scottish Government, manage any consortium members or subcontractors, and ensure delivery of the programme’s aims, objectives and reporting requirements.

Business Growth West Midlands (BGWM) is the current West Midlands business support service and the primary digital entry point into the wider region's business support ecosystem. Delivered by West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC), through West Midlands Growth Hub, BGWM forms a vital part of the region's commitment to providing a "no wrong door" approach to business support. As part of the new WMGC Growth Hub operating model, a new digital service is required to provide a seamless entry journey for all businesses while supporting clear routing, referral management, business intelligence capture and outcome tracking across the wider business support ecosystem. This may or may not be under the same brand. Following a strategic review, WMGC has adopted a Hybrid Universal Front Door model for the business support digital service, which provides a consistent and high-quality entry experience for all businesses and quickly routes businesses to the most appropriate support while managing expectations around provision through clear positioning and tailored customer journeys. While the future digital service will provide a universal entry point, universal access does not mean that every business will receive person-led support. The primary role of the service is to identify and enable the most appropriate next step for the business. Small, micro, pre-start and startup businesses will be supported through automated referrals to Local Enterprise Services, other local and national provision, plus curated digital content and tools. High-growth potential and strategic businesses will be identified through proportionate digital triage and transferred rapidly into person-led support through the High Growth Service and Strategic Account Management functions. The future digital service is intended not only to signpost businesses that are not yet eligible for person-led High Growth support to external provision, but also to operate as a regional digital support layer. It will help address common business needs directly through high-quality digital tools, guidance and tailored recommendations. These tailored resources would supplement evidenced gaps in provision and improve continuity rather than replicate support already available through local, regional, national or private-sector providers. The future digital service should be informed by recognised best practice from comparable business support ecosystems and digital service models. Discovery activity should assess existing market solutions and ensure any future service delivers clear additional value to businesses and stakeholders, avoiding unnecessary duplication of functionality, content, tools or services already available elsewhere. To ensure future investment decisions are evidence-based and aligned to business needs, WMGC is seeking to appoint an experienced agency or consortium to undertake a comprehensive Discovery Phase that will validate user needs, test key assumptions underpinning the hybrid model, define service requirements, and develop a robust specification for future procurement and implementation. This is an initial procurement associated with the first phase - Discovery - of this project.

International waste shipments relate to the import and export of waste across international boundaries. These movements of waste are subject to the controls outlined in the retained EU Waste Shipments Regulations, which aim to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment. The regulations also aim to prevent the unauthorised disposal/recovery of hazardous waste shipments in countries where they are not able to handle the waste in an environmentally sound manner, without hindering the legitimate trade in waste. International waste shipments from England can be subject to notification controls, which applies to all imports and exports of: • Hazardous waste moving for recovery • Any type of waste moving for disposal • Some imports and exports of non-hazardous wastes for recovery Where these controls apply, organisations need a uniquely numbered notification and movement form issued by the Environment Agency (EA) before movement of the waste. Organisations could also be subject to ‘green list controls’. These are the lowest level of control and only ever apply to some imports or exports of non-hazardous waste for recovery. Where these controls apply, organisations do not require EA permission before moving the waste, but they do have to comply with Waste Shipment Regulation, Article 18 controls. Under the regulations the EA and other public named bodies carry out regulatory duties to meet their statutory obligations. This includes ensuring that waste, which has been illegally exported or shipments which cannot be completed, can be repatriated back to the UK, preferably within the statutory 30-day timescale. Historically, the 30-day statutory requirement has never been enforced, with the EA and overseas authorities liaising to ensure the waste is repatriated as soon as practicable. Occasionally the EA have to manage repatriations and bear the cost, hence the need for a framework

Kent County Council, as part of the Kent and Medway Resilience Forum (KMRF), currently provide on road, Community Safety Accreditation Scheme (CSAS) resource, to assist KMRF partners with managing disruption on the Kent Road network when there are delays at the Kent ports.
