This open procurement process falls under the services category, specifically focusing on surveys. Key activities are set to start on 1st October 2017 and will conclude on 31st January 2018, with the tender period ending on 26th June 2017. The project aims to assess selectivity differences and best practices critical to the brown shrimp fishery, which is a significant aspect of the fishing industry in the UK. This tender presents a viable opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in fishery science, marine surveying, or related services to engage in a funded partnership with Cefas and Defra. Businesses that specialise in fishing technology, trawl design, or sustainable fisheries practices will find this procurement particularly relevant. By registering as suppliers and submitting their tenders, these companies can contribute to vital research affecting fisheries management while potentially enhancing their market presence and relationship with government entities. ## Notice A Fishery Science Partnership (FSP) involving the fishing industry, Defra and Cefas scientists was established in 2003. Defra has confirmed the continued funding of the Fisheries Science Partnership programme for a further year in 2017/18. The objectives of the programme are: To build relationships between UK fishermen and scientists and to involve fishermen in the co-commissioning of science. Crangon crangon (brown shrimp) are caught primarily in estuaries and inshore areas countries bordering the North Sea using light weight beam trawls. Total annual landings of North Sea Shrimp in 2015 was 31 375 t, of this the UK vessels land around 316 t of the total European catch. The Wash Brown Shrimp fishery is a major fishery for vessels working from The Wash ports (mostly Boston and King's Lynn), accounting for a large proportion of the gross earnings of vessels from these ports. The objectives of this project will be; 1)To assess the selectivity differences between older and newer Shrimp Beam trawl designs 2)Assess the survival of discarded brown shrimp and fish species in The Wash Brown Shrimp Fishery across a range of vessel configurations (rotary riddle and flat screen riddle) 3)Identify best practice to minimise mortality in non-retained catch FULL DETAILS REGARDING THE REQUIREMENT CAN BE FOUND BY REGISTERING AS A SUPPLIER AND DOWNLOADING THE TENDER PACKAGE AT https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/NH9R3M7A43 Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs).
