The main tool employed for fish loss assessment has been Equivalent Adult values (EAVs) which translate loss of eggs/juveniles into adults using usually generic information from lifetables on survival rates, natural and fishing mortalities. These lifetables have themselves varying degrees of certainty and evidence to support them. Moreover, the use of EAVs does not consider the role each life stage might have in the local ecosystem and the impact of its removal. For example, early stages of fish can have an important role as a food item for other organisms.

However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/761978c8-561a-44d4-9b08-9077249c0126 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 24 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Sep 2018 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CEFAS | | Locality | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 71354500 - Marine survey services - 73112000 - Marine research services - 90712300 - Marine conservation strategy planning - 98360000 - Marine services - 98362100 - Marine-base support services ## Release History - 21 Aug 2018 at 13:38 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/761978c8-561a-44d4-9b08-9077249c0126 - 21 Aug 2018 at 13:38 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/761978c8-561a-44d4-9b08-9077249c0126 - 17 Aug 2018 at 08:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/761978c8-561a-44d4-9b08-9077249c0126 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/761978c8-561a-44d4-9b08-9077249c0126 21st August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Lowestoft:-Cefas-RFQ-for-review-of-methodologies-to-assess-loss-of-early-life-stages-of-fish-from-entrapment/QST2V4PU8J Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Notice URLs - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/QST2V4PU8J ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
