## Summary

The procurement process involves Cefas, based in Lowestoft, UK, which has announced a tender titled "GB-Lowestoft: FSP58 - A Survey to Assess the Ecological Impacts of Pulse Trawling." This is part of a service in the fishing industry and is categorised under the hire of sea-going vessels. The tender, which adopted an open procurement method, was awarded on 25th July 2018, with a contract period starting on 1st August 2018 and concluding on 30th November 2018. The tender period closed the day prior, on 25th July 2018, and the total value of the contract is £13,500.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the ecological assessment and maritime services sectors. Companies specialising in the hire of vessels, particularly those that can provide scientific research support or fishing-vessel services, would be well-positioned to compete. As the contract was awarded to Barnes Offshore Ltd, it indicates a potential preference for established suppliers, though smaller firms could leverage their specialised capabilities to succeed in future tenders of a similar nature.

## Notice

The primary objective of this project will be to conduct an ecosystem survey to assess the effects of Pulse trawling off the coast of Ramsgate. A conventional otter trawl and a scientific beam trawl will be used in all areas to assess the differences in both fish catch composition and abundance; and benthic macrofaunal composition and abundance.

However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
