Currently in the Tender stage, this open procurement process seeks a not-for-profit service provider to operate and manage the scheme, with the tender period closing on 13th November 2017. The initiative falls within the fishing and seafood industry category, and interested parties may submit electronic responses through the Public Contracts Scotland portal. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on services related to responsible fishing practices and crew welfare. Companies with experience in the fishing sector, particularly those that can demonstrate compliance with industry standards and qualifications relevant to service delivery, would be well-suited to compete. The contract’s long duration, planned for five years with a potential extension, presents a stable business opportunity for those able to meet the rigorous requirements outlined by Seafish. ## Notice The Seafish Responsible Fishing Scheme (RFS) is a voluntary vessel-based programme certifying high standards of crew welfare and responsible catching practices on board fishing vessels. The RFS is a 'business-to-business' tool to help fishermen showcase industry-agreed best practice through independent, third-party auditing. The Seafish Industry Authority (Seafish) is seeking a Service Provider for the global operation, management and delivery of the Seafish Responsible Fishing Scheme. Seafish will remain as standard owner, but seeks a not-for-profit entity to deliver this contract. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This specification describes the Seafish Industry Authority's requirement for a bidder to tender for the global operation, management and delivery of the Seafish Responsible Fishing Scheme. Seafish will remain as standard owner, but seeks a not-for-profit entity to deliver this contract. Renewal: Seafish sees the contract duration as significant in maintaining established global provision of the RFS. It is therefore planning to offer a contract for a minimum period of five-years, with the option to extend for one further period of five years, at Seafish's sole discretion. The extension to the contract will be reviewed at the end of year 4. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC305236 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 1 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Dec 2017 | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2018 - 31 Dec 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 | Unsuccessful | | Lots status | Unsuccessful | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SEAFISH | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH7 4HS | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Leith Walk | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products ### Codes - 03000000 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 03300000 - Farming, hunting and fishing products ## Release History - 22 Dec 2017 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC305236 - 18 Oct 2017 at 00:00 - TenderUpdate - OJEU - F14 - Corrigendum - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT298725 - 2 Oct 2017 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT297299 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT297299&idx=3 30th October 2017 - Seafish RFS TD2017-04 Circular Advice Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT297299&idx=1 4th October 2017 - Seafish RFS TD2017-04 Invitation to Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT297299&idx=2 4th October 2017 - EPSD for Seafish RFS TD2017-004 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT297299 Seafish Responsible Fishing Scheme - The Seafish Responsible Fishing Scheme (RFS) is a voluntary vessel-based programme certifying high standards of crew welfare and responsible catching practices on board fishing vessels.
