## Summary

The buying organization, Defra Network eTendering Portal, has awarded a contract for the project titled "CEFAS22-09 OWEC Fisheries sensitivity modelling" to Marine Scotland. The procurement process falls under the services category, with a contract value of £60,000 GBP. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action, below the threshold. The project is located in the East of England, United Kingdom. The contract period is from September 1, 2023, to August 31, 2024, with a tender period ending on August 1, 2022.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses involved in research, testing, and scientific technical simulator services. Companies focusing on design-modelling services can also find potential in this project. Businesses interested in supporting fisheries sensitivity modelling projects within the offshore windfarm industry should consider engaging in this tender process. The project's focus on understanding the interactions between fishing activities and offshore windfarms presents a unique growth opportunity for businesses involved in marine resource management and environmental impact assessment.

## Notice

The project aims to provide a better understanding of the sensitivities of fishing activities to Offshore Windfarms (OWF) which is needed to identify areas that are high and low risk areas of conflict between two industries. High risk areas of conflict between commercial fishing and OWF can lead to objections and significant delays to the consultation and consenting process for OWFs as the economic stakes for the fishing sectors are high. In contrast, it can be assumed that in areas characterised by lower levels of fishing activity, the conflict with OWF will be low as well. In addition to the delay of the consultation process, there is the risk of high costs for compensation/cooperation payments to fishers for any displacement and other mitigation measures required. This project will review and test existing tools/data/models to: (1) identify the recent spatial distribution of fishing activities of UK vessels in the UK EEZ based on individual vessels' positional tracking data, fisheries activity database and relevant ancillary data collected by MMO & Marine Scotland, and (2) assess the constraints and opportunities for the fishing industry to adapt (including displacement) to the local development of OWFs.
