This tender is currently in the open stage, and the deadline for submission is 18 December 2020. The contract period is set to commence on 18 January 2021 and will conclude on 15 March 2021. The delivery addresses for this project include various regions, such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the wider United Kingdom. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in research consultancy services, particularly those with experience in fisheries policy or environmental assessments. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those capable of conducting detailed analyses of illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing impacts. By engaging in this tender, businesses can contribute to shaping future UK fishing policies and regulations, potentially expanding their portfolio and increasing their market reach in a critical sector. ## Notice From the 1st January 2021, the UK will no longer be subject to the EU's Common Fisheries Policy and will be an independent coastal state once again. Previously, the UK had been covered by the EU's Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing regulations (1005/2008). Although these regulations are being retained in UK law, the UK has the freedom to set its own policies and regulations on IUU. Crucial to this is a better understanding of how IUU affects the UK to help influence our policy development. Assessments have been made of the impact of IUU fishing at an EU and international level. However, the impact on UK industry has not been quantified. Now that the UK can take responsibility for managing its waters, this is an opportunity to further understand IUU issues at the UK level. Project Aim We want to understand more about the impacts of IUU fishing by identifying and compiling existing assessments of those impacts, particularly as they relate to the UK, and reviewing how those assessments have been made. This will allow us to establish the extent to which the impacts are understood and identify methods that could be used to strengthen the evidence base where necessary. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8a81938-2e8a-40a2-80f9-07f40c5c781d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | 18 Dec 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Jan 2021 - 15 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73210000 - Research consultancy services ## Release History - 27 Nov 2020 at 09:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8a81938-2e8a-40a2-80f9-07f40c5c781d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8a81938-2e8a-40a2-80f9-07f40c5c781d 27th November 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/25e124db-eee9-4b35-b591-56386cb8d1dd n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
