Technical Support and Maintenance for Marine Recorder

Tender description

The Marine Recorder package was developed by JNCC as a collect and collate piece of software designed to hold and manage marine survey data including Marine Nature Conservation Review surveys. Details of the Marine Recorder system are provided here http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-1599 This includes a link to download the Marine Recorder Application and detailed manuals. This application in its current form is likely to be replaced by alternative solutions over the next two to three years. Although these alternative solutions have not yet been fully scoped and are not yet developed, they will certainly be based on a completely different technology and a highly modified data model. There will however be continued demand for support for the current Marine Recorder Application over the next three years. The project objectives are to provide support to internal users of Marine Recorder and external users who are referred by JNCC and maintain essential updates to the reference data within the system such as the list of standard biotopes (habitats).
