## Summary

The public procurement contracting process pertains to the "Fisheries Response Fund" initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, located in York, England. This tender, aimed at providing research consultancy services, specifically focuses on the evaluation of interventions within the FRF and DSSS frameworks. The procurement process followed an open method, and the tender period ended on 17th July 2020, with the contract period commencing from 24th August 2020 and concluding on 26th February 2021. The evaluation project has an estimated value of £93,940.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in research consultancy, analysis, and evaluation services. Companies with expertise in economic and social impact assessments, as well as those experienced in ecological studies, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts, thereby facilitating business growth in these specialised areas within the public sector.

## Notice

This invitation to tender is for the design and delivery of an evaluation of the FRF and DSSS interventions. In particular, the evaluation shall explore whether the interventions met the objectives (economic, ecological, and social). The purpose of this evaluation is both to assess the effectiveness of the scheme and to generate broader lessons for future strategies for financial interventions in shock situations. Overarching aims of this research are to: (1) enhance understanding of how effective the implementation of the FRF and DSSS interventions have been; (2) assess and understand the emerging benefits and impacts of the interventions; and (3) determine cost-benefit ratios associated with the interventions where appropriate (i.e. for individual DSSS grants).
