Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) seeking to charter multiple fishing vessels to support various scientific trials and surveys within the western Irish Sea. This tender, titled "ID 3664408 DAERA - AFBI - CHARTER OF FISHING VESSELS," is classified under the services category, specifically for the hire of sea-going vessels with crew. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender submission deadline is set for 23 August 2021, with the award period starting immediately afterwards. The estimated contract values for the lots range from £80,000 to £226,000 for a potential duration of three years with options to extend.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in fishing vessel services, particularly those capable of supplying prawn trawlers and semi-pelagic vessels. Companies with expertise in providing comprehensive crewed vessel management, including victuals and logistical support for scientific missions, would be well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, organisations with experience in conducting marine surveys and trials will find this tender particularly relevant, as the awarded contracts entail critical maritime research activities that contribute to the scientific understanding of local fishing stocks.
