The aim of the tender is to conduct an analytical study on the economic and social impacts of recreational sea fishing in the UK. The tender falls under the industry category of social research services, with a contract value of £35,000. The deadline for tender submissions is 28th February 2023. The contract period will be from 1st April 2023 to 30th November 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold. This tender opportunity by CEFAS for a socioeconomic review of recreational sea fishing in England presents a lucrative chance for businesses involved in social research services to contribute to policy decisions in the marine recreational fishing sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this tender. Businesses must act promptly to prepare submissions before the deadline on 28th February 2023 to potentially secure a valuable contract opportunity that aligns with the Fisheries Act 2020 objectives. ## Notice Recreational sea fishing (RSF) is a high participation activity in the UK, with recent studies identifying the activity as having a substantial economic impact and social benefits to those who participate. However, the difficulty in quantifying these impacts and bringing them together means they are less well communicated and understood, hampering the ability to develop marine recreational fishing (MRF) as a sector, which is a key goal of the Fisheries Act 2020. Previous work by the Angling Trust, who are the recognised governing body for all recreational angling disciplines in England & Wales, as well as Defra and Cefas, has brought together some of the social and economic benefits of participating in and funding RSF. However, an analytical method of quantifying these benefits that is developed independently of industry and government is required. This methodology and the results from it will be used to inform future policy decisions. Part 1: A systematic review of existing research to quantify the economic and social impacts of sporting activities, including RSF. Part 2: Quantifying the social and economic benefits and impacts of RSF in England. Part 3: Co-design of the work via a project Steering Group.
