The contract period runs from September 1, 2022, to March 31, 2024, and the tender deadline was on May 16, 2022. This public procurement opportunity in the research and development services category presents a significant chance for businesses, especially those involved in fisheries, aquaculture, and related consultancy services, to contribute to sustainable fisheries management. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to compete for this tender, which focuses on enhancing knowledge of UK fisheries and aquaculture.
