Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal in England, revolves around the tender titled "Cetacean Strandings around the UK Coast (Stomach Content Analysis)." This project falls under the services industry, specifically focusing on analysis services and marine research. The tender was awarded on 15 February 2018, with a contract value of £25,000 and a duration from 15 February 2018 to 31 March 2018. It was a limited procurement method, which allowed for the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice, concluding the tender period on 15 January 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research and analysis services, particularly those specialising in marine biology and environmental studies. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for future contracts of a similar nature, as they often possess the agility and specialised knowledge necessary for conducting thorough studies in this niche field. Engaging in such tenders helps broaden business reach and can contribute to the conservation and understanding of marine life.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Cetacean Strandings around the UK Coast (Stomach Content Analysis)

Notice Description

Since 1990, the collaborative UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP) has been funded by UK government (currently by Defra and the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales), to record all strandings of cetaceans around the UK coast and to retrieve a proportion for investigation at post-mortem. The principal aim of this project is to process stored stomach samples from up to 160 small cetaceans that have been necropsied under the CSIP in recent years. We will provide summary data that describes the species composition of the stomach contents on an individual animal basis and we will augment these data with a backlog of samples from previously examined animals that have been conducted as a series of student projects over the last 20 years. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities. This is currently provided by Bravo Solutions. To access appropriate tendering and contractual documents, please access the E-Tendering portal at https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk", ensuring that your registration includes "Defra". If you have any problems with this system, please contact Bravo on their telephone helpline number 0800 368 4850 or by emailing them at help@bravosolution.co.uk
