## Summary

The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is overseeing an open procurement process for a contract titled "Using Sentinel and other low-cost surveillance data to monitor the marine areas around the UK Overseas Territories," classified under navigation equipment and marine survey services. The procurement is currently in the award stage following its conclusion, with the final contract valued at £73,600. This contract has a duration that commenced on 18th December 2018, ending on 12th August 2019. Interested suppliers had until 29th November 2018 to submit their tenders, and the delivery addresses include various regions such as British Overseas Territories and the wider UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental monitoring and marine services, particularly those capable of utilising satellite technology for data collection and analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate in this tendering process, as it is tailored to engage suppliers who can contribute innovative solutions to combat Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing and protect vital marine resources in the UK’s Overseas Territories.

## Notice

The UK has 14 Overseas Territories (OTs) which are internationally recognised for their exceptionally rich and varied natural environments. The oceans surrounding the OTs are not only valued for their diverse marine life, but also for their natural capital. This marine life is, however, at risk of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. Although largely unquantified for the OTs, the global loss to IUU fishing has been estimated to be upwards of USD$23 billion. Through its commitment to develop a Blue Belt around the OTs, the UK Government has set out its ambition to better protect these important natural resources. As well as the existing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) around the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (SGSSI), the UK Government recently announced the designation of a no-take MPA around Pitcairn, a sustainable use MPA around St Helena, a roadmap to determine the location of a no-take MPA across at least half of Ascension's maritime zone by 2019 and a regime to protect the waters across Tristan da Cunha's entire maritime zone by 2020.
