Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government in Cardiff focuses on "Fisheries Science at Sea," aimed at delivering critical stock information for scallop, bass, whelk, and crab and lobster to facilitate the development of Fisheries Management Plans. Classified under the services industry—specifically agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services—the project involves collaboration with Bangor University. Located in the UK region, this direct award procurement method highlights urgency and technical uniqueness, with a contract period slated from 10 June 2025 to 31 March 2027, and potential extension up to 31 March 2028. The contract, valued at £2,965,899 (gross £3,559,080), was signed on 2 June 2025, following a direct procurement strategy justified by the absence of alternate providers with the necessary resources.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in aquacultural and apicultural services. Ideal candidates would possess large-scale operational capabilities and licensure for technical maritime research. Particularly, organisations akin to Bangor University with access to specialised research vessels and equipment within the vicinity are positioned well for competitive advantage. By participating, businesses can not only realise financial gains but also contribute to vital environmental and ecological studies, enhancing their portfolio in scientific research initiatives and public service missions aligned with government regulations.
