## Summary

The procurement process involves the purchase of acoustic receivers as mandated by EU Eel regulations (EC Council Regulation 1100/2007), with the Defra Network eTendering Portal as the buying organisation based in London, England. Classified under the CPV code for telemetry equipment, this tender was completed with a contract value of £46,950. The procurement method adopted was a direct single tender action, as it was below the threshold, and the tender period ended on 12 February 2021. The contract period commenced on 1 March 2021 and spans until 30 July 2021. 

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the environmental and telemetry equipment sectors, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can supply innovative fish screening technologies. Companies with expertise in environmental compliance technologies and equipment that prevent eel entrainment during water abstraction processes would be particularly suited to engage in similar tenders, enabling growth through alignment with regulatory requirements and ecological initiatives.

## Notice

EU Eel regulations (EC Council Regulation 1100/2007) require all member states to assess and facilitate escapement of silver eel to the spawning population (out of river catchments into estuaries) of at least 40% of the potential biomass produced under conditions with no anthropogenic disturbance due to fishing, water quality or barriers to migration. Screening regulations require appropriate fish screening technologies on all intakes capable of abstracting at least 20 m3 per day to prevent entrainment of upstream migrating elvers/eels and downstream migrating silver eels.
