## Summary

The contract titled "CEFAS21-72: Services to support recreational sea angling survey" has been awarded by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on the data collection and survey services for recreational sea fishing activities in England and Wales. The contract, valued at £167,135, commenced on 7th December 2021 and is set to conclude on 31st October 2023. The procurement process was conducted as a direct award through a single tender action, with the tender period closing on 30th November 2021.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in survey conducting and data collection services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate experience in fisheries or recreational surveys. Companies capable of engaging effectively with stakeholders in the recreational fishing community would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, as ongoing assessments of angling practices can lead to further procurement opportunities in the sector.

## Notice

Cefas has contracted a supplier for the delivery of estimates for England and Wales (E&W)1 of catches and expenditure made by recreational sea fishing by identifying and gaining agreement from a minimum representative sample of recreational sea fishers in E&W in autumn 2021 to complete a catch diary in 2022. This should build on the current survey to ensure continuity of diarists. The current requirement is in two parts, which will be awarded as one contract. The first part is the survey that will identify a representative sample of people who go recreational sea fishing in the UK. The second part is to run the sea angling diary and provide the results.
