## Description

MMO officers conduct boardings of fishing vessels at sea\. This involves transferring from a Rigid Inflatable Boat onto the vessel\. There are particular health and safety risks associated with this activity, which are not covered in generic RIB training, such as RYA Powerboat Level II\. In 2013 the MMO procured training, that was bespoke to the specific health and safety requirements of this activity and was independently accredited\. Since these courses were initially run, more officers now require this training\. 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
