## Summary

The contract titled "Blue Belt Support - Consultancy" has been awarded by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on environmental engineering consultancy services. This initiative aims to explore the feasibility of managing satellite Earth Observation data to enhance maritime surveillance in the UK Overseas Territories, particularly in combating illegal fishing. The contract, valued at £79,138, commenced on 15 November 2021 and is set to conclude on 11 February 2022. This procurement followed a selective method as a call-off from an existing framework agreement, with key activities completed as of 1 November 2021.

This tender presents an opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in environmental engineering and satellite data analysis, particularly those capable of integrating technology with management services. Companies that possess expertise in maritime surveillance, data correlation, and in-house data management solutions will be well-positioned to compete. The focus on enhancing the effectiveness of Earth Observation data opens avenues for innovative strategies that can bolster vigilance in marine environments, thereby potentially expanding business operations in environmental consultancy and tech-driven management services.

## Notice

DEFRA has awarded a task to Deloitte under Lot 2 of the DEFRA Management Consultancy Call off contract. The task is to explore the options and feasibility of bringing the procurement and analysis of Earth Observation satellite surveillance data in house. Satellite Earth Observation data can provide a means for the UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) to detect illegal fishing in their waters. The images need to be correlated with Automatic Identification System (AIS) data and other intelligence to be effective but satellite imagery is proving to be a continually improving tool for maritime surveillance.
