## Description

The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at https://defra-family\.force\.com/s/Welcome Any questions, requests to participate or tender submissions must be submitted electronically via this portal\. Natural England \(NE\) requires the utilization of non-invasive techniques, such as environmental DNA \(eDNA\), to evaluate ichthyofauna communities within High Priority Marine Protected Areas \(HPMAs\), focusing primarily on the Allonby Bay region\. Conventional surveys in these protected and dynamically changing environments demand resource-intensive and costly methodologies, including the comprehensive monitoring of fish populations\.
