## Summary

The procurement process titled "Fisheries Quota Trading" is initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on the industry of marine research services. This tender, which is currently in the Award stage, primarily intended for a contract value of £106,117, aims to enhance understanding of the trading of fishing opportunities within the UK. The tender period concluded on 5th September 2018, while the contract period is set to run from 26th October 2018 to 31st March 2019. The delivery addresses extend to several regions, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in marine research, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in environmental studies, fisheries management, or related services. By participating in this procurement, companies can contribute to the development of efficient fisheries management policies and potentially gain a competitive edge in a growing sector. The open procurement method allows a broad range of suppliers to compete, fostering innovation and collaboration within the industry.

## Notice

The project will develop our knowledge of the internal market for quota in the UK, how fishing opportunities are traded between vessels, producer organisations (POs) and the inshore fleet pools (i.e. MMO). This will help us to improve the delivery of our fisheries management policy, and understand the efficiency of exchanging fishing opportunity allocation across UK fleets. The project will improve our understanding of existing issues, and provide a range of appraised options for reforming our management policies.
