Notice Description

Seafish will remain as standard owner, but seeks a not-for-profit entity to deliver this contract.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This specification describes the Seafish Industry Authority's requirement for a bidder to tender for the global operation, management and delivery of the Seafish Responsible Fishing Scheme. Seafish will remain as standard owner, but seeks a not-for-profit entity to deliver this contract.

Renewal: Seafish sees the contract duration as significant in maintaining established global provision of the RFS. It is therefore planning to offer a contract for a minimum period of five-years, with the option to extend for one further period of five years, at Seafish's sole discretion. The extension to the contract will be reviewed at the end of year 4.
