The tender, classified under the industry category of survey services, entails gathering data on estimates of catches and expenditure by recreational sea fishers for the years 2025 and 2026. It targets suppliers capable of managing panel surveys and analysing collected data. The procurement stage is currently at the tender phase, with key dates including the publication date of 23rd September 2024 and a tender period ending on 25th October 2024. The contract is set to commence on 1st December 2024 and conclude on 30th November 2027. The estimated contract value is £500,000. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in large-scale data collection, surveys, and analysis, particularly those with experience in fisheries and marine environments. Firms adept in managing extensive panel surveys and capable of employing cost-effective methods for data collection are well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to partake, given the project's potential to build on existing methodologies and deliver insights that inform policy and ensure sustainable marine fisheries management. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure above the threshold, broadening the competitive landscape for qualified businesses. ## Notice Defra requires Cefas to provide scientific advice on the management of priority recreational marine fisheries, including development and evaluation of regional, national proposals, and technical conservation measures that informs policy and ensures a sustainable sector within the context of the protection of the marine environment. Cefas require the Supplier to deliver a survey to gather data on the estimates of catches and expenditure by recreational sea fishers across England and Wales in 2025 and 2026.
