## Description

The UK statutory nature conservation bodies \(SNCBs\) have agreed that the historic marine habitat and species sensitivity evidence base requires updating\. The existing sensitivity assessments currently in use are now over a decade old, and require significant updates in response to new evidence, methods and standards\. It is imperative that revised assessments reflect the current literature and the recent methodological advances in order for the SNCBs’ advice to remain current\. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions\. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered\. Could I therefore request that you register on the Bravo portal for Defra\. If you’re already registered on the Bravo portal please check that your registration includes Defra, as you have to specify us in order to correctly receive the tender documents\. If you have any problems with the registration process, please contact the Bravo helpline on 0800 368 4850 or alternatively email them at help@bravosolution\.co\.uk\. The link you require for new registration/amendments to registrations is - https://defra\.bravosolution\.co\.uk
