This tender is currently in the active stage, with the tender period ending on 1st July 2021. The contract value is set at £24,000 and is classified under CPV code 34513100, which pertains to fishing vessels. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1st September 2021 and conclude on 30th September 2021. Proposals can be submitted through the Bravo e-tendering portal. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in maritime services, particularly those that can supply vessels equipped for scientific research. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, especially those with experience in providing fishing vessels or services related to marine biology. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in tagging and tracking marine species would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, thereby fostering growth within the specialised sector of environmental and fisheries research. ## Notice Cefas and the University of Exeter are collaborating on a research project to provide a baseline understanding of the ecology of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus; ABFT) in waters of the British Isles. The project is supported in 2021 with funding from the Welsh Government. The project will deploy state of the art electronic tags on ABFT to study their seasonal migrations and behaviour.
