## Summary

The procurement process involves Cefas, located in Lowestoft, who is seeking proposals for a communications specialist to support the Trawl Knowhow project. The tender, titled "RFP for the provision of a communications specialist for the Trawl Knowhow project," falls under the advertising and marketing services industry category. It is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 12 January 2017. The contract is expected to start on 23 February 2017 and run until 31 October 2018, with a total contract value of £50,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs, particularly those specialising in communications and marketing consultancy services. Businesses that can effectively present complex information in an accessible format to the fishing community will find this project particularly relevant. The initiative aims to assist fishermen in adapting to new regulations, thus creating a demand for innovative solutions that promote sustainable fishing practices.

## Notice

Fishermen in European marine fisheries require easy access to information on how to change their fishing nets to avoid catching unwanted fish, which are thrown back into the sea (discard), often dead, to help them successfully move to discard free fisheries. Cefas is seeking to commission a communications specialist for 21 months from January 2017 to October 2018 to present information on fishing gear technology developments in a user-friendly and helpful format and disseminate it effectively to those who can use it. This is of particular importance currently because of a demand to assist fishermen to implement the discard ban under the reformed EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
