This initiative is closely related to the fishing industry and is located in England. The tender period ended on 31 August 2019, with an award value of £109,150 for the research and development of frameworks that establish principles for low impact fishing. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure below the threshold for public contracts. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those involved in research and development services, consultancy, and environmental sustainability, to contribute to the evolving landscape of fisheries governance in the UK. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to engage in this project, as their innovative approaches could effectively address the requirements for defining low impact fishing practices within the commercial and recreational sectors. ## Notice In the recent Fisheries White Paper the UK Government outlines a desire for an efficient but sustainable fishing industry with technological advances having driven greater efficiency, such as where modern smaller boats have been able to catch more fish than they have previously, existing approaches to considering sustainability may no longer have their original utility. As the UK leaves the European Union and takes back control of its waters in a new era of fisheries governance, there is distinct opportunity to consider new criteria for defining 'low impact fishing', and to replace current definitions used for fishing vessels, such as the 'under 10 metre' categorisation, while considering what low impact fishing means across the commercial fleet and recreational sector. This invitation to tender is for an original piece of work to develop a framework of principles for low impact fishing, and to agree the processes for applying them. The scope of this work extends only to England for operational reasons, but it is recognised the outputs may be of interest at a UK-wide scale and beyond.
