Ocean and Blue Economy tenders

Funding for ocean health, sustainable fisheries, aquaculture and the blue economy. Backed by the World Bank PROBLUE, EU EMFAF and Horizon, the Benioff and Packard foundations, and national marine programmes. Listed below are the open ocean and blue economy tenders and contract notices that landscape produces, taken from each buyer's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.

Procurement is dominated by water utilities, port authorities, municipalities and the development banks financing them. Contracts are typically works or long-term services rather than research, and prequalification on prior comparable projects is common. Development-bank-financed notices follow the bank's own procurement rules, which are generally more open to non-domestic bidders than a purely national tender would be.

This page lists open ocean and blue economy tenders and public contracts currently tracked by Raise Lens — 59 of them right now, sorted with the soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, so what appears here is ocean and blue economy work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.

The buyers publishing ocean and blue economy tenders and public contracts here include Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, MERCATOR OCEAN, Ingquza Hill Local Municipality, among 2 others. Who is funding matters as much as what: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between buyers than between individual calls.

Geographic coverage on this page spans LATAM, GLOBAL-SOUTH, SUBSAHARAN-AFRICA. Eligibility is usually tied to where the work happens or where the applying organisation is registered, and the two are not always the same — worth checking before investing time in an application.

23 of these close within the next 30 days. Deadlines are taken from the source listing and re-checked on every refresh, but the originating buyer remains the authority — always confirm against the official notice before you submit.
