This initiative aims to enhance sustainable seafood consumption by engaging with businesses across Europe. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 19 March 2019. The project is classified under services incidental to fishing and entails research into the supply chain from Turkey to Europe, addressing critical topics such as traceability and social benefits. The contract period is expected to commence on 24 March 2019 and conclude on 30 September 2019, with proposals accepted for both UK/Austrian and Turkish components. This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms and businesses that specialise in environmental sustainability, marine conservation, and supply chain management. Companies that are well-suited to compete include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), which can offer innovative approaches to improve the sustainability of seafood production and consumer behaviour. By engaging in this project, successful bidders could further develop their expertise and enhance their reputation within the growing market for sustainable food products and practices, thereby positioning themselves advantageously for future contracts in this sector. ## Notice WWF's EU co-funded Fish Forward II (FF2) Project raises awareness of sustainable seafood consumption. One key FF2 project pillar states that by 2020, 30 companies will commit to improving their seafood portfolio in consideration of climate change, ethical supply chains and Sustainable Development Goals. This will require engagement with corporates across FF2 participating countries. As part of WWF-Turkey, WWF-UK and WWF-Austria's contribution to this pillar, we plan to contract a study focusing on a supply chain from a FF2 participating developing country (DC) to Europe. Turkey, as an Official Development Assistance recipient, was chosen as the project study site due to its importance as a sea bream/sea bass exporter to Europe. The aim of this supply chain study is to uncover/reveal the aspects that are important to guarantee socially and environmentally sustainable seafood products from DC. The study will provide information on the following aspects: traceability, climate change, labour conditions, social benefits of sustainable seafood livelihoods and gender. WWF-Turkey, WWF-UK and WWF Austria (hereafter referred to as WWF) will commission external consultant(s) to carry out a supply chain study. The study will trace the path of farmed sea bream/sea bass from Turkey to Europe. Research will be conducted focusing on selected elements across social, economic and environmental conditions which are important across the supply chain, from producers in Turkey to the European retailer. The study will be split into two components- the Turkish component focusing on the beginning of the supply chain in Turkey (producers, processors, exporters) and the UK/Austrian component focusing on retailer expectations in UK and Austria.
