## Summary

Cefas has awarded a contract for the project titled "CEFAS24-77 ITT for services to establish & coordinate an Aquaculture Network," which falls under the environmental services category. This initiative aims to create and coordinate a brackish water/marine aquaculture network in Bangladesh, promoting best practices, knowledge sharing, and capacity building. The awarded contract, valued at £210,000, runs from 8th October 2024 to 31st March 2026. Businesses interested in this sector should note the recently completed procurement stage, ending on 17th September 2024, and that Evolved Research and Consulting Ltd has been selected as the supplier. The work spans multiple locations including the United Kingdom and beyond.

This tender creates significant opportunities for SMEs with expertise in aquaculture, environmental services, and network coordination. By participating, businesses can foster international collaborations, expand their market reach, and contribute to sustainable aquaculture practices in Bangladesh. Firms specialising in brackish water or marine aquaculture, particularly those with innovative approaches to capacity building and knowledge dissemination, are well-suited to engage in this endeavour. Cefas, with its history of partnership and collaboration with various Bangladeshi organisations like the Department of Fisheries and Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, offers a substantial platform for businesses to expand their impact and develop long-term connections in the region.

## Notice

OCPP work in Bangladesh to-date has been delivered in collaboration with a number of organisations including the Department of Fisheries (DoF), Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute (BFRI), and Bangladesh Agriculture University (BAU). The programme is now aiming to establish a network focused on brackish water/marine aquaculture systems in order to provide opportunities to a wider set of organisations and create collaborations in Bangladesh between different institutes. The primary aim of this Contract is to create and/or reinforce a network of brackish water/marine aquaculture experts across different aquaculture disciplines and practices in Bangladesh, with the potential to forge a long-term legacy beyond the OCPP. This network is hereafter referred to as the Aquaculture Network.
