Description of the goods or services required

For the last 2 years WWF UK has been working in partnership with Swansea University and Project Seagrass to demonstrate the feasibility and create a blueprint for large scale seagrass restoration in the UK to support ocean recovery and restore vital ecosystem services provided by healthy seagrass meadows, services that have diminished with the loss of up to 92% of the UK's seagrass over the last century. Our partners at Swansea
University identified that the north of Wales, in particular the Anglesey and Pen Llyn areas, could be suitable for seagrass restoration and so the partnership has begun exploring the
potential of doing a restoration project there. The intention of this contract is to engage a local contractor based in Wales to work with the project partners supporting project development phase stakeholder scoping, planning and early engagement work.
The contract opportunity requires delivery oif six key tasks:
1. Assist the Project in understanding key marine and coastal
stakeholders in the Pen Llyn and Anglesey areas.
2. Assist the Project in determining potential threats and opportunities for seagrass restoration.
3. Help facilitate early engagement with key stakeholders, including dealing with information requests in the Welsh language.
4. Provide input into the development of a stakeholder engagement strategy and plan for the project.
5. Organise and run a 5 day community awareness and activity camp related to seagrass conservation and restoration.
6. Organise and run a family weekend awareness and activity event related to seagrass conservation and restoration.
