Summary of the contracting process

The Cefas organisation is currently inviting tenders for the project titled "Cefas Thornback ray survivability in the Thames otter trawl," which aims to estimate the survival rates of thornback ray captured in the Thames fishery. This open procurement falls under the category of fishing vessels and the estimated contract value is between £10,000 and £25,000. The submission deadline for tenders has been extended to 23rd July 2017, with the contract period running from 24th July 2017 to 31st October 2017. Interested parties should note that the tender process is in the planning stage, seeking experienced otter trawlers familiar with the Thames area for up to six fishing days during the trial period.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the fishing and marine studies sector, particularly those with expertise in otter trawling and experience in scientific fisheries management. With the focus on the sustainability of thornback ray populations, businesses involved in environmental research, marine biology, or fishing operations may find this project aligns with their capabilities, allowing them to expand their portfolio working with Cefas and contributing to vital ecological studies.

Notice Title

GB-Lowestoft: Cefas Thornback ray survivability in the Thames otter trawl

Notice Description

NOTE: This notice was updated on 12 July 2017 for the following reason: DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS FRIDAY 21ST JULY 2017 - this replaces any previously advertised closing dates, see RFQ document for full detailsPLEASE DOWNLOAD THE FULL TENDER DETAILS BY REGISTERING AT https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/4TB3S64WJ7 The primary objective of this project is to estimate survival rate of discarded juvenile and adult thornback ray (Raja clavata) caught in the Thames thornback ray otter trawl fishery. The information may be used to support an application for exemption from the Landing Obligation (LO) under the high survival provision. The information on thornback ray discard survival may be used to supplement management advice, in particular in constructing Discard Plans and evidencing applications for exemptions to the Landing Obligation (LO) for thornback ray under the high survival provision. The trials will take place between July 2017 and October 2017. The work will involve a maximum of 6 days of fishing under charter, possibly spread over several weeks, with a possible routine of a few day's fishing followed by several days monitoring the survival of thornback ray returned to an onshore tank system. The study will involve the capture and release of live thornback ray that have been tagged using data storage tags, as well as the retention and landing of live thornback ray in tanks for captive monitoring studies. The survey will require two scientist to be onboard the vessel while fishing. This tender is seeking an otter trawler, with a skipper experienced in fishing for thornback ray in the Thames study area. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
