This initiative falls within the services industry, specifically concerning bathymetric survey services, located in the South West of England. The current procurement stage is Tender, with submissions accepted until 1st February 2021. The contract period is expected to commence on 15th February 2021 and extend until 31st December 2021, with a total contract value of £30,000, to be executed through an open procurement method below the threshold. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in marine surveying and environmental assessment, particularly those capable of conducting bathymetric surveys. Companies with expertise in underwater surveying, marine engineering, or related fields would be well-suited to compete. The work involves conducting two critical surveys at both the Hinkley Point construction site and the Portishead disposal site, thus attracting interest from SMEs with relevant capabilities seeking to expand their service offerings in the public sector. ## Notice Cefas (The Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science) is an executive agency of Defra.

For further background information on Cefas, please visit our website at http://www.cefas.co.uk Background to requirement The BEEMS (British Energy Estuarine and Marine Studies) programme is funded by Cefas customer EDF Energy to provide authoritative scientific information on the marine and transitional waters in the vicinity of potential new build nuclear power stations. Bathymetric surveys are required during the construction phase of the HPC build programme. Four bathymetric surveys are required, two in the vicinity of the Hinkley Point C (HPC) construction site and two at Portishead disposal site, Somerset, UK. There is a licence requirement to undertake two detailed bathymetric surveys of the subsea infrastructure locations at Hinkley Point before marine works begin and again after construction is completed. Construction also requires the seabed to be dredged, and material to be removed from site and disposed of in a licenced disposal site. Disposal has been proposed at site LU070 (Portishead) and two detailed bathymetric surveys of the disposal site are required before and after disposal takes place. Aims and Objectives Cefas is seeking a contractor to undertake four bathymetric surveys.
