The procurement method used was a limited process, whereby the award of the contract occurred without prior publication of a contract notice. The tender period ended on 14 January 2017, and the awarded contract worth £487,046 is set to commence from 14 February 2017 through to 30 June 2019, covering areas within the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in marine research and monitoring services. Businesses specialising in ecological research, marine conservation, and related consultancy services would be well-positioned to compete, given the demand for effective solutions to manage bycatch and enhance fisheries sustainability in the UK. ## Notice to monitor the effectiveness of acoustic deterrent devices in reducing bycatch, *help identify any specific fisheries and gear types causing bycatch *monitor a range of fisheries, including some for which monitoring is not required under Regulation 812/2004, but where cetacean bycatch is likely to occur at high enough levels to warrant monitoring under Article 12 of the Habitats Directive. *to monitor the levels of bycatch in certain fisheries, gear types and areas and extrapolate the data to reflect actual fishery effort to give an indication of the scale of overall bycatch levels, with an indication of the confidence limits.
