Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process overseen by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) for the "Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) 2025" project has reached the award stage. Located in London, Defra, as a central government public authority, utilised an open procurement procedure, which was initiated as a tender. The project, focusing on implementing data collection tools for monitoring fishing activities, has been active since August 2025 and was contracted on 26th June 2026, with the contract set to conclude on 9th June 2030. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically for video-surveillance systems, with Anchor Lab from Copenhagen awarded as the supplier. The procurement method allowed for multiple bids through electronic submissions, showing its inclusivity to potential competitors.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in marine equipment, surveillance systems, and digital cameras. Companies with expertise in installing REM systems on vessels can benefit significantly, especially those capable of handling complex data collection components such as cameras, GPS, and sensors. Moreover, consulting services specialising in fisheries management and sustainable practices could leverage this tender to foster business growth by developing innovative monitoring solutions for the fishing industry. The engagement of large-scale suppliers like Anchor Lab suggests that established businesses in technology and marine sectors may have a competitive edge in securing similar contracts.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) 2025

Notice Description

Remote Electronic Monitoring, (REM), is a data collection tool that can be installed on vessels to collect information on fishing activities and catches. A REM system typically consists of a control box, cameras and sensors collecting various data (video imagery, GPS positions, winch rotation activity, hydraulic pressure readings etc.), that can then be interpreted to generate information on when and where a vessel is fishing and what it is catching. Five priority fisheries were identified as part of that consultation process, fisheries A to E. Early adopter phases are the first step of our journey towards the implementation of REM across the priority fisheries over the next five years. We aim to begin working with vessels from the second priority fishery in 2025, and then each subsequent year beginning the next priority fishery. During this time, we will continue to refine our approaches and ways of working to ensure that when mandatory REM requirements are introduced, these are fit for purpose.
