Please indicate in your tender if you wish to be considered for this work. - Any deviation from this methodology should be approved in writing by the Cefas project officer. - The successful tenderer will produce an analysis report. - Substrate and taxonomic image reference collections are required - A start-up meeting will be held with the winning tenderer within a week of the contract being awarded.
