## Summary

The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is planning a procurement process for the provision of positional monitoring systems tailored for fishing vessels under 12 metres in length. This initiative is crucial as the MMO aims to introduce vessel monitoring systems (VMS) on these smaller vessels before the legal requirement comes into effect. The procurement falls within the services category, specifically classified under data services, and will encompass approximately 2,300 vessels in the English Fishing Fleet. Interested parties should note that communication regarding this tender will officially commence on 2nd August 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers specialising in marine tracking devices, particularly those adept at creating secure, tamper-resistant equipment for maritime use. Businesses that innovate in data service technology for vessels at sea will find this an ideal opportunity to expand their market reach by providing vital tracking systems that enhance compliance and operational efficiency for fishermen. Engaging with the MMO will be a critical step for companies looking to contribute to a sustainable fishing industry in the UK.
