## Summary

This project, entitled "CEFAS24-110 Contract for desk based study of Pot Fisheries," falls under the marine research services category (CPV code 73112000) and was awarded to Bangor University. The procurement involved summarising existing data and identifying gaps in fishery-dependent data collection methods. Key dates include the tender period ending on 1st October 2024, the contract start date on 16th October 2024, and the contract end date on 31st March 2025. The project value is £57,555 and includes deliverables across various global regions, including the UK, Europe, and overseas territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in marine research and fisheries data analytics. The contract's focus on summarising and collating innovative data collection methods makes it ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in marine ecology, data management, and environmental research. Companies specialising in these areas could leverage this contract to enhance their portfolio, demonstrate their research capabilities, and expand their market reach in the ecological and environmental sectors.

## Notice

This is a primarily desk-based study that will summarise existing data for whelk, crab and lobster fisheries to highlight the gaps that exist. Several projects are already completed or underway across the UK that look at innovative methods for fishery dependent data collection (e.g. Bangor University led cameras on crustacean boats, CEFAS led project for fishers to take photo of crab or lobsters). This report will summarise and collate information on all these existing innovations.
