## Summary

The Scottish Government has initiated a tender for the "North Sea Anglerfish Survey," which falls under the services industry category. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, with the contract having been signed on 12th February 2020. The charter for the survey will commence on 14th April 2020, lasting for 10 days, with catch to be landed back at the starting port by 23rd April 2020. This tender is aimed at demersal trawlers exceeding 25.9 metres in length, and the work will take place in the Northern North Sea region.

This opportunity presents a substantial growth avenue for businesses specialising in marine services, particularly those operating larger fishing vessels capable of undertaking such surveys. Companies that provide demersal trawling vessels, marine logistics, or those experienced in scientific research collaborations would be particularly well-positioned to compete in this tender. Engaging in this contract could help firms expand their footprint in the marine services sector, benefitting from ongoing collaborations with the Scottish Government and related agencies.
