## Summary

The Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) has completed a procurement process titled "CEFAS24-77 ITT for services to establish & coordinate an Aquaculture Network to deliver best practice, knowledge sharing & capacity building in Bangladesh" under the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP). The procurement focused on environmental services and was conducted through an open procedure. Evolved Research and Consulting Ltd has been awarded the contract for this project, which will be coordinated from Lowestoft, UK. The contract, valued at £210,000, was signed on 8th October 2024. The programme is funded by the UK's £500 million Blue Planet Fund and includes initiatives to improve marine science expertise, policy development, and community education in eligible countries. Key components of the contract involve establishing a network of aquaculture experts and promoting sustainable seafood practices in Bangladesh.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses by promoting long-lasting international collaborations in the aquaculture sector. It is particularly suited for companies with expertise in marine science, sustainable seafood practices, disease management, and water quality assessment. Firms that have established presence and partnerships in Bangladesh, or those able to form new collaborations quickly, would find this tender highly relevant. The project aims to boost local capabilities and enhance aquaculture practices, potentially leading to further contracts and a strong market presence in the region, especially for organisations that can offer innovative solutions and active on-the-ground engagement with local communities, including women and youth in aquaculture sectors.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) is funded through official development assistance (ODA) as part of the UK's PS500 million Blue Planet Fund. Through the OCPP, the UK government partners with ODA-eligible countries to deliver tangible and positive impacts on the livelihoods of coastal communities that depend on healthy marine ecosystems. The programme supports countries to strengthen marine science expertise, develop science-based policy and management tools, and create educational resources for coastal communities.

Under the sustainable seafood objective, the programme supports the development of the skills and expertise needed to adopt sustainable seafood practices. This will reduce risks such as the spread of zoonotic diseases from unsustainable or unsafe activities and will support trade in safe seafood. The programme will also support the development of better management, monitoring and enforcement capabilities regarding illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
