This tender by the Scottish Government offers a growth opportunity for businesses in the marine services sector. Companies specialised in marine research, charter operations, and fishing technology are well-suited to compete. The contract involves conducting trials with specific requirements for vessels in a Producer Organisation in the North Sea region. Successful bidders should be prepared for a 7-day charter period between Mid-August and early October 2023, targeting various marine species for sampling, with an emphasis on cod. The procurement process allows for electronic payment and ordering, and offers a significant window for bid validity lasting 90 days. ## Notice Marine Directorate (MD) - Marine Laboratory is to carry out charter trials to assess the effect of artificial light in the bottom panel of a SELTRA box in reducing the catch of cod from Nephrops trawls. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Marine Directorate (MD) - Marine Laboratory is to carry out charter trials to assess the effect of artificial light in the bottom panel of a SELTRA box in reducing the catch of cod from Nephrops trawls. This requirement is solely for vessels in a PO (membership of a Producer Organisation). Vessels can retain and sell their catch taking it off the quotas allocated to the PO. A daily rate should be given for 7 days at sea with an additional reduced rate covering a period of 12 hours before and after the trials for rigging and derigging the vessel in port. The charter trial will run for a 7 day period between Mid-August and start of October 2023 and commence and end at Peterhead or Fraserburgh. The intention is to target Nephrops grounds in the North Sea with cod being the main target species, but haddock, whiting, saithe, monkfish, megrim and Nephrops will also be sampled during the survey. Up to three scientific staff will participate during the trials. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL483294 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract 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 | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 25 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £49,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 63726400 - Ship chartering services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 10 Jul 2023 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL483294 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL483294&idx=1 10th July 2023 - Charter Specification - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL483294&idx=2 10th July 2023 - Charter terms and conditions - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL483294 CodSELect project Twin Trawl Catch Comparison - Marine Directorate (MD) - Marine Laboratory is to carry out charter trials to assess the effect of artificial light in the bottom panel of a SELTRA box in reducing the catch of cod from Nephrops trawls. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000738213 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=738213 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
