This procurement falls under the services category and is classified under research and development consultancy services (CPV 73200000). The tender is being conducted through an open procurement method and is currently active, with applications due by 19th February 2021. The consultancy work is expected to start on 26th February 2021 and will continue until 30th April 2021, and must be delivered to the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses experienced in environmental issues consultancy, especially those focused on sustainable fisheries management and research. Consulting firms and individuals with expertise in sustainable practices and climate change initiatives are encouraged to apply, as the project aims to explore the practical implications of new fisheries legislation. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suitable candidates, highlighting a commitment to inclusivity in the bidding process. ## Notice In November 2020 Westminster passed the first major piece of fisheries legislation in 40 years - the Fisheries Act 2020. If the powers provided within the Act are embraced by the UK fisheries administrations there is a real opportunity for fisheries management to contribute to ocean recovery; delivering healthy oceans which provide a low carbon, low impact source of sustainable protein as part of a UK food strategy; and in turn, support job opportunities in coastal communities and beyond. One of the objectives in the Act is the climate change objective which is a relatively new consideration for fisheries management. WWF, RSPB and the Marine Conservation Society are keen to explore what this may equate to in practical terms as part of a wider ecosystems based approach to sustainable fisheries and marine management. To that end we are seeking to commission a suitably experienced consulting firm or individual to research and compile a report that will set out what climate (and nature) smart fisheries might look like for UK fisheries. More information about the objectives, suggested methodology and deliverables are described in the attached terms of reference.
