This project falls under the agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry, and related products industry category, with the main activities based in London, United Kingdom. The current procurement stage is the award phase, completed on 5 April 2022. The contract has a total value of £36,595 and is set to commence on 16 May 2022, concluding on 16 September 2022. The procurement method employed was an open procedure below the threshold, and the initial tender period ended on 28 March 2022. This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in environmental consultancy and fisheries management to expand their operations. Given the project's focus on understanding and quantifying the impacts of Illegal, Unregulated, and Unreported (IUU) fishing on the UK, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), would be particularly well-suited to compete. The insights generated from this research will inform future policy developments, creating avenues for firms that can deliver innovative solutions in sustainability and resource management within the fishing sector. ## Notice Since the 1st January 2021, the UK is no longer subject to the EU's Common Fisheries Policy and is an independent coastal state once again. The UK had been covered by the EU's Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing regulations (1005/2008). These regulations are retained in UK law but the UK has the freedom to set its own policies and regulations on IUU. The UK's status as an independent coastal state provides an opportunity to better understand how IUU fishing affects the UK. Better understanding this will influence policy development to tackle IUU fishing. The financial cost and environmental, economic, and social impact of IUU fishing on UK industry has not yet been quantified. In 2021 Defra commissioned a systematic review, which identified, reviewed and critiqued existing literature of the impacts of IUU fishing and how they relate to the UK. A copy is attached to this ITT. The review found that the information currently available regarding IUU activities impacting the UK is primarily based on large scale estimates (often global) of both volume and cost, or is derived from low sample-size studies which often lack statistical robustness. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/108cc199-6969-4c90-a5fa-123596fdf7f8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | 28 Mar 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 May 2022 - 16 Sep 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products ### Codes - 03000000 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products ## Release History - 22 Feb 2022 at 12:48 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/108cc199-6969-4c90-a5fa-123596fdf7f8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/108cc199-6969-4c90-a5fa-123596fdf7f8 22nd February 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4b52db3b-d0db-41fb-a6ce-e679821df2a9 n/a - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - http://defra.bravosolutions.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
