## Summary

The Cefas: Vessel Charter - Scallop Survey 2020 procurement process is managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal and falls within the services category, specifically focused on fishing vessels. Located in the East of England, this procurement is currently in the award stage, with the contract having been awarded on 10th August 2020. The contract period is from 1st August to 31st August 2020, and the total contract value is £118,000. The submission deadline for tenders was 3rd July 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the maritime and fisheries sectors, particularly for those specialising in vessel charters and marine surveying services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and those with relevant experience in conducting dredge surveys will be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this project not only offers immediate financial prospects but also aligns with long-term monitoring and research initiatives that could foster further collaborations and contracts in marine resource management.

## Notice

Cefas is collaborating with industry to carry out the fourth consecutive year of dredge surveys as part of an ongoing research project in selected king scallop fisheries located in the English Channel, Celtic Sea and North Sea, with the aim of determining stock status. This project is still in the relatively early stages of reporting and is setting the foundations for long term monitoring and assessment of selected king scallop stocks around English coasts. We are planning to repeat the dredge surveys in 2020 in areas 27.7.e and 27.7.f this summer then a second survey in September (27.7.d and 27.4.b). However, the timing of these surveys and other operational aspects are subject to approval by the Project Steering Board and may change.
