## Summary

The procurement process involves the Defra Network eTendering Portal seeking to replace outdated remote electronic monitoring (REM) systems with newer, more reliable models. This tender, titled "Remote electronic monitoring systems," falls under the shipping operations industry category and is located in London, England. The procurement method is classified as limited, allowing for the award of a contract without prior publication of a contract notice. The tender period concluded on 10 February 2017, with the contract period set from 10 March 2017 to 31 March 2017. The total value of the contract is £140,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in marine equipment and compliance monitoring technologies, especially those that can offer innovative and reliable REM systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, particularly those that can demonstrate capability in providing durable marine technology solutions. Such contracts not only allow for product sales but also create potential partnerships for ongoing research and development in the field of maritime compliance.

## Notice

The MMO is currently trialling REM systems for the potential use of monitoring compliance with the Landing Obligation regulations. The MMO also gathers data on levels of discarding and the impact of changes of gear use and behaviour on discard rates. In addition, scientific work is undertaken with Cefas using REM data to support government scientific research objectives. The REM systems currently on board the vessels are currently out of warranty and components of the systems had a high failure rate in 2016. Spares are no longer available for these systems. The MMO therefore wishes to replace the systems with newer versions that are still in warranty and less likely to suffer component failure.
