Lot Information
Core Services
Cefas is looking to engage a Technology Partner skilled in the implementation of the Microsoft Fabric environment and related Data Science Azure based services for a multi-year programme to build a Microsoft Fabric environment-based data platform and Azure environment to support Cefas Scientists to deliver excellent science.
Cefas science, evidence and advice provides vital insights for decision making on the sustainable use of resources from our rivers, seas and ocean. At a moment when aquatic systems are increasingly threatened by diverse natural and anthropogenic pressures, management is not only becoming more complex but must take place alongside an overarching imperative to improve the status of our waters for the next generation.
This strategy will build upon our heritage as a trusted and impartial provider of science, evidence and advice to government by innovating our approach to data collection, curation, sharing and use.
Healthy and productive marine systems are vital for societal health, wealth and wellbeing. Our work focuses on understanding and mitigating against the triple threat posed by climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution - allowing for better decision making on sustainable use of resources from our seas and oceans.
Access to, and analysis of, big data from multiple sources and of varying types will be fundamental in complex policy decision making across systems.
The 'SeaScope' will develop a framework for a new, federated approach to marine science data collection, storage, and use by Cefas and partners. It will become a platform for mainstreaming novel data science approaches and remove data and conceptual silos to allow better marine policy decision making.
The combination of new technology and new platforms (like a ship) and integration of data generation will enable deeper understanding of complex marine and fisheries systems, by aligning datasets as never before to offer insights into impacts of management, emergencies, or new proposed uses.
