Notice Information

Notice Title

Omega Gauge Purchase and Maintenance Services

Notice Description

Historically the measurement of fishing net mesh size was carried out by the fisheries officer using a 'push' gauge. The push gauge was a calibrated brass triangle that the inspector pushed into the net to determine the size of mesh. The inconsistency with this approach was that the determination of the maximum mesh size was dependent on the strength of the inspector. This opened the pathway to legal challenge therefore a different measuring device needed to be developed. This notice is being issued to gather market information on the availability of this product and services. Additional information: This is a request for gathering market information. Please read the attached Specification and if have a product that can meet our requirements please contact Andy McCabe to discuss further (andy.mccabe@defra.gov.uk)
