## Summary

The procurement process titled "CEFAS21-66 ITT Western Channel Sole" is managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This project, classified under the services industry, is situated in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 28th June 2021, with a total contract value of £65,000. The awarded contract is set to commence on 1st September 2021 and will run until 31st October 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in marine survey and fisheries services. Companies with experience in conducting abundance and distribution studies or those able to provide appropriate survey vessels would be well-suited to compete, as the project aims to inform stock assessments of sole and plaice while also addressing by-catch species.

## Notice

The survey's main aim is to investigate trends in the distribution, abundance, and age composition of sole and plaice, and to provide some information on by-catch species. For sole and plaice, the indices of abundance from the survey are one of the datasets used in the ICES Division 7.e assessments, together with other survey and fishery data, which help estimate the stock trends over time.
