Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) has completed the procurement process for the "CEFAS24-44 Contract for pollack population size study" in the services category. The contract involves a study to estimate the population size of pollack in the western English Channel, with a budget of £50,000. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 26th March 2024. The contract period runs from 27th May 2024 to 28th February 2025, providing opportunities for businesses in the fishing vessels industry based in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses in the fishing vessels industry to engage in a scientific assessment project led by Cefas. The study aims to collect genetic material and fish data to understand the stock structure and abundance of pollack in a specific region, providing a niche opportunity for companies with expertise in commercial fishing and genetic analysis. With a focus on local knowledge and vessel availability over several months, businesses with capabilities in targeted fish sampling and genetic tools are well-suited to compete for this contract and contribute to valuable research outcomes.

Notice Title

CEFAS24-44 Contract for pollack population size study

Notice Description

Following the recent Defra announcement of a scientific assessment to understand more about the stock structure and abundance of Pollack, the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) invited commercial fishers to register their interest in joining a study using genetic tools to estimate the population size of pollack in the western English Channel (ICES subdivision 7.e.) The study will be delivered in collaboration with commercial pollack fishing specialists (i.e. fishers who have specifically targeted pollack) with local knowledge of spawning adult and juvenile locations, to assist in the targeted sampling of fish. We expect to commission a total of 100 days of vessel time, ideally spread over a number of vessels from a limited range of sites and evenly over time until February 2025. We aim to collect genetic material, length and weight info from around 3000 individual fish, together with the coordinates of capture. The aim is to sample 30 fish per sampling day.
