This tender falls under the marine research services category and is relevant within the broader context of data collection and collation services. The procurement is currently in the open tender stage, with proposals due by 7 January 2022. The contract period is set to commence on 15 January 2022 and will run until 31 March 2022. The estimated value of the contract is £25,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in marine research, data collection, or environmental consultancy services, particularly those with experience in conducting fieldwork in diverse communities. Companies that excel in translation services, especially into Sinhala and Tamil, would be particularly beneficial to this project, enabling accurate outreach and data gathering. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-positioned to compete in this tender, especially those that can demonstrate expertise in working collaboratively with local stakeholders in Sri Lanka. ## Notice The OCPP was announced this year as a key bilateral aid programme under the PS500m Blue Planet Fund. Under the OCPP, Cefas will use existing experience of collaboration at an international level, to develop innovative science techniques and analyses with OCPP partner countries that address marine pollution challenges. Cefas requires the successful Tenderer to organise a 'physical/in person' data collection campaign to collect data on ALDFG and end of life (EOL) fishing gear in Sri Lanka. Data shall be collected through a technical questionnaire prepared by Cefas scientists. The questionnaire is aimed at fishery vessel owners, fishers, crewmembers, port operators and any other relevant stakeholders related to fisheries in Sri Lanka. Cefas will share the questionnaire with the successful Tenderer before discussing possible final adjustments. Once the questionnaire is finalised, the successful Tenderer will identify a representative number of people to interview, aiming to cover as many different communities around Sri Lanka as possible. Before starting the interviews, a training session will be organised by Cefas to train the operators to collect data as consistently as possible throughout the campaign. The successful Tenderer is required to be able to translate the questionnaire from English into Sinhala and Tamil and be able to perform the interviews using operators that are fluent in Sinhala and Tamil in order to maximise reach and ensure accuracy of the answers. After the collection of the data, the successful tenderer will produce a report doing a preliminary analysis of the data and will hand over all the data and metadata to Cefas. Please be aware that Cefas have concurrently released an opportunity (CEFAS21-139 - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/12464411017DA4B6E6E7) for a series of awareness raising events about ALDFG which compliments this requirement, and this may mean that costs can be reduced if both elements are awarded to the same Tenderer. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a78fd3c0-7af7-45bc-a423-21aea5458a6b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Jan 2022 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 72314000 - Data collection and collation services - 73112000 - Marine research services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 85322000 - Community action programme ## Release History - 10 Dec 2021 at 14:41 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a78fd3c0-7af7-45bc-a423-21aea5458a6b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a78fd3c0-7af7-45bc-a423-21aea5458a6b 10th December 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/95899700017DA3F4D851 Link to eSourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/12464411017DA4B6E6E7 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
