Notice Title

CEFAS20-21 Contract for the Provision of Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems (BRUVS) and Associated Services - Contract Extension

Notice Description

The Contractor will deliver mid-water BRUVS with benthic adaptation fitments to each OT included in the network and the associated services for training, survey planning and analysis.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Contractor will deliver mid-water BRUVS with benthic adaptation fitments to each OT included in the network and the associated services for training, survey planning and analysis.

Procurement Information

The rig design, software and associated AI analysis rights are owned by Blue Abacus and Cefas would not be able to purchase software / AI analysis compatible with this elsewhere. BRUVS supplied by the Blue Abacus are already used in certain Overseas Territories and this purchase for Cefas would ensure that by buying the same equipment, software and AI analysis services, the data will be collected and analysed consistently with data already collected and analysed in the other Overseas Territories. Purchase of these BRUVS would support the ability to create a cross territory BRUV network as part of the Blue Belt Programme. It is therefore critical that the data informing the management and conservation of a range of species and habitats is collected in a consistent, comparable and statistically robust manner.
