## Summary

The procurement process involves Cefas, based in Lowestoft, which is seeking a communications specialist for the Trawl Knowhow project. The tender, titled "GB-Lowestoft: RFP for the provision of a communications specialist for the Trawl Knowhow project," relates to the advertising and marketing services industry. The procurement method follows an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 6th February 2017, with the contract running from 23rd February 2017 to 31st October 2018. The awarded contract amounts to £45,280.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in communications and marketing consultancy, particularly those that can deliver user-friendly information on fishing gear technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this contract suitable, given the emphasis on their engagement in such projects. Companies well-versed in servicing the fishing or marine industries, or those with innovative approaches to environmental compliance, would be well-positioned to compete effectively for future opportunities in this sector.

## Notice

Fishermen in European marine fisheries require easy access to information on how to change their fishing nets to avoid catching unwanted fish, which are thrown back into the sea (discard), often dead, to help them successfully move to discard free fisheries. Cefas is seeking to commission a communications specialist for 21 months from January 2017 to October 2018 to present information on fishing gear technology developments in a user-friendly and helpful format and disseminate it effectively to those who can use it. This is of particular importance currently because of a demand to assist fishermen to implement the discard ban under the reformed EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
