## Summary

The public procurement process titled "GB-Lowestoft: Discard Survival of Sea Bass 2019" was conducted by Cefas, a UK-based authority located in Lowestoft. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focused on fishing vessels. The tender was initiated under the open procurement method, with a contract value of £13,440. The contract period started on 3rd September 2019 and is set to conclude on 31st December 2019, following a tender period that ended on 2nd September 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in marine research and commercial fishing. Companies with expertise in ecological studies, fishing operations, and data collection would be particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts in this field. The project also opens doors for organisations that can provide scientific support and equipment necessary for fishing vessel operations, allowing them to expand their market presence within the industry.

## Notice

The trials will take place between September 2019 and December 2019. The work will involve a maximum of 14 days of fishing under charter. The study will involve the capture of sea bass under normal commercial trawl practices to record the condition and health state of individual bass. Any live bass will be assessed and (if deemed likely to survive) tagged with electronic tags and released back to sea to help provide evidence of post discard survival. The survey will require up to three scientists to be onboard the vessel with approximately two metre square clear deck space to carry out scientific procedures during fishing operations.
