Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in the United Kingdom is inviting tenders for the supply and management of Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) technology, including cameras, sensors, and video recording equipment. This procurement falls under the services category with a specific focus on monitoring and control services, classified under CPV code 71700000. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, and Defra is conducting a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to gauge market interest and supplier capabilities by 13 January 2025. The REM systems will be tested across various fisheries in English waters, with an anticipated project value of up to £150,000 if 12 REM systems are utilised, and the future official notice is expected to be released on 16 January 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in REM technology and associated services. It offers a platform for technology providers to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure contracts for monitoring equipment installations across multiple fisheries. Suppliers proficient in advanced digital camera systems, sensors, GPS, and data management solutions, including those with automated analysis capabilities, are particularly well-suited for this opportunity. Businesses capable of providing comprehensive REM solutions, including technology, installation, and data management, will find this tender an excellent fit for expanding their market presence and contributing to environmental monitoring initiatives endorsed by Defra.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to alert potential technology suppliers to an opportunity in relation to the Department of the Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) programme.
Defra intend to run an open tender to procure REM technology and services. This procurement will be specific to the early adopter vessels volunteering to join our programme. Decisions about our approach to long term implementation will be made at a later date.
At this stage of the programme Defra would like to understand which suppliers could provide REM technology consisting of a number of digital cameras, different types of sensors, GPS and a REM control box.

Defra would like to test a range of monitoring objectives across 4 fisheries:
* Fishery B:
Over 10m Demersal seines (flyseines) in English waters of the Southern North Sea and English Channel (ICES areas 4c, 7d and 7e).
Likely monitoring objectives: Catch composition information and verification, improved data on non-quota species.

* Fishery C:
Over 10m Demersal trawls using mesh sizes up to 120mm in English waters of the North Sea (ICES area 4b).
Likely monitoring objectives: Catch composition and discards.

* Fishery D:
Over 10m Fixed and drift nets (gill and trammel) in English waters of the Celtic Sea and English Channel (ICES areas 7e-j).
Likely monitoring objectives: Interactions with sensitive species, improved catch and discards information.

* Fishery E:
Over 10m Demersal trawls including beam trawls in English waters of the Celtic Sea and English Channel (ICES areas 7e-j).
Likely monitoring objectives: Monitoring discarded fish, improved data on non-quota species.

Defra anticipate that we will be seeking REM technology for volunteer fishing vessels in each of the fisheries above over the course of 4 years. Defra anticipate needing technology for up to 3 vessels per fishery - likely 4 to 12 in total.
Defra would also like to understand options for data access, sharing and storage.
Defra are also interested in systems that have or could have automated analysis capabilities and are open to suggestions on additional functionality.
Finally, Defra are interested to know whether suppliers would be willing to tender for both technology and installation.
If you are an established REM technology provider and you would like to register your interest, please email dgc-laww-buyer@defra.gov.uk with a short summary (1 page) of technical capability in this area.
The Authority reserves the right to communicate with interested parties for future requirements related to the area of REM.
