Defra and the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) will shortly tender for an independent evaluation of the Domestic Seafood Supply Scheme (DSSS), as well as of the Fisheries Response Fund (FRF). The evaluation will focus on both the implementation process and the impact of each intervention. The evaluation will be delivered in adherence to guidance issued by HM Treasury and a final report will be published on project completion following external peer review.
