## Summary

The Scottish Government has initiated a tender titled "Analysis of Optimal Allocation of Nephrops Fishing Grounds in Scotland's Waters", related to the general public services category. This procurement process, currently in the planning stage, aims to establish a baseline for the Nephrops industry in Scotland and assess optimal fishing ground allocations based on various policy objectives. The contract value is set at £80,000, with submissions due by 22nd June 2018, and the research will be conducted across Scotland's waters.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in marine research, consulting, and fisheries management. Companies with a strong background in ecological and economic analysis, particularly those experienced in fisheries management or similar services, will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The open procurement method ensures that both large enterprises and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) can participate, fostering a competitive landscape that encourages innovative solutions and collaboration within the sector.

## Notice

The aim of the research is to help inform and expand the evidence base supporting the Scottish Government's Future of Fisheries Management programme of work. This project will specifically look to build on existing data and evidence to establish a baseline of the Nephrops industry in Scotland before proceeding to develop an analytical framework or model to test for what an optimal Nephrops industry would look like under various policy objectives to be agreed with the steering group. This research will be undertaken across two stages, the first being to ascertain whether a deviation from optimal exists within the Nephrops fishery in Scotland's waters, and - if appropriate - the second identifying and measuring the distribution of costs and benefits of altering the allocation of Nephrops fishing grounds.
