Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Environment, Fisheries, and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) has initiated a tender for services aimed at establishing and coordinating an Aquaculture Network in Bangladesh under the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP). The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with a closing date for submissions on 12th September 2024. The contract period will run from 18th October 2024 to 31st March 2026, and the total value of the contract is estimated at £220,000. The focus of this tender, classified under Aquaculture Services (CPV code 77800000) and Environmental Services (CPV code 90700000), involves the creation of a network of brackish-water/marine aquaculture experts to promote best practices, knowledge sharing, and capacity building in coastal communities in Bangladesh. Cefas, based in Lowestoft, UK, is looking to engage multiple secondary organisations as part of the network, with activities potentially extending to British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and other regions globally.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in aquaculture, environmental services, and marine science. Companies with experience in sustainable seafood practices, disease management, water quality assessment, and policy development in Bangladesh are particularly well-suited to compete. By participating, businesses can contribute to long-term sustainable development goals, foster local collaborations, and enhance their reputation in international markets. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to apply, given Cefas's emphasis on local engagement and capacity building within the aquaculture sector. The open procurement method ensures a competitive and transparent selection process, providing an equitable platform for businesses to grow their influence and operations in Bangladesh and beyond.

Notice Information

Notice Title

CEFAS24-77 ITT for services to establish & coordinate an Aquaculture Network to deliver best practise, knowledge sharing & capacity building in Bangladesh, under Ocean Country Partnership Programme

Notice Description

The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) is funded through official development assistance (ODA) as part of the UK's PS500 million Blue Planet Fund. Through the OCPP, the UK government partners with ODA-eligible countries to deliver tangible and positive impacts on the livelihoods of coastal communities that depend on healthy marine ecosystems. The programme supports countries to strengthen marine science expertise, develop science-based policy and management tools, and create educational resources for coastal communities. Under the sustainable seafood objective, the programme supports the development of the skills and expertise needed to adopt sustainable seafood practices. This will reduce risks such as the spread of zoonotic diseases from unsustainable or unsafe activities and will support trade in safe seafood. The programme will also support the development of better management, monitoring and enforcement capabilities regarding illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. The primary aim of this Contract is to create and/or reinforce a network of brackish water/marine aquaculture experts across different aquaculture disciplines and practices in Bangladesh, with the potential to forge a long-term legacy beyond the OCPP. This network is hereafter referred to as the Aquaculture Network. This Contract will be awarded to a single Supplier to act as the Aquaculture Network coordinator - however, it is absolutely essential that multiple secondary organisations are engaged to form the Aquaculture Network, as this is the key objective of the work. Suppliers submitting bids must demonstrate that they have established aquaculture collaborations in Bangladesh - whether existing/long-term or newly formed for this specific requirement - and proof of actively working in Bangladesh in the relevant fields. The Aquaculture Network must include organisations that are already engaged on the ground (for example engaging with aquaculture farmers, including women and youth, DoF or BFRI), and promoting expertise and skills exchange with other orgnisations. Expertise required within the Aquaculture Network primarily includes best aquaculture practice and husbandry, disease management and diagnostics, and water quality management and assessment.

The opportunity can then be found searching 'CEFAS24-77 ITT for Aquaculture Network establishment in Bangladesh under OCPP'.
