The surveillance is primarily used to monitor for Illegal, Unreported & Unregulated fishing (IUU), but is occasionally used for other applications such as Marine Protected Area (MPA) monitoring, marine pollution monitoring and merchant vessel traffic movements. The level of coverage required is essentially global; the MMO work in a wide range of geographies and may require domestic coverage going forward, with a focus over the UK Overseas Territories (UK-OTs) and partner countries' maritime zones. With the current contract for the provision of these services ending on 31st July 2024, the MMO requires a call off, turnkey service, whereby the supplier must undertake all aspects of data acquisition, processing, storage and analysis, to replace it. The supplier will provide the MMO with outputs in which vessel detection within the acquisitions and subsequent Automatic Identification System (AIS) correlation has been undertaken in accordance with a pre-agreed set of defined parameters. Contract will work on a call-off basis with costs capped at PS1,500,000 for first two years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d5ea43b2-9a9d-4fd5-904e-5dae35c31e38 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 23 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2024 - 31 Jul 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,500,000 | | 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 | | Locality | PETERBOROUGH | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE2 8YY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH41 Peterborough | | Local authority | Peterborough | | Electoral ward | Fletton and Stanground | | Westminster constituency | North West Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79714000 - Surveillance services ## Release History - 29 Apr 2024 at 09:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d5ea43b2-9a9d-4fd5-904e-5dae35c31e38 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d5ea43b2-9a9d-4fd5-904e-5dae35c31e38 29th April 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
