I would like to make a freedom of information request.
I am doing a research project investigating call-off contracts in the public sector. I have identified some potential call-off contracts awarded by UKRI, but I can't find details of the framework agreements they were awarded from.
I have attached an Excel file that contains the information I am looking at. The last two columns ("Title of framework used" and "Contracts Finder or TED link of framework agreement") is where I am missing information - please could you fill these in.
Please note that I have identified these contracts as possible call-off contracts, so some of them might not be. Some could be, for instance, procured directly (without being called off from a framework agreement), or could be themselves notices of the establishment of a framework agreement. Therefore I would kindly ask you to specify in these incidences what kind of procurement was used in the "Title of framework used" column.
I have provided the title, description, details of the email contact from the notice, the publication date, and procedure type used to award each potential call-off, as well as a URL link to the call-off in question and a unique reference ID for each potential call-off. Please let me know if there is anything else you need to complete the request.

I am writing under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 and the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the release of information relating to NERC's funding of the Seabed Mining And Resilience To EXperimental impact project, Smartex (NERC Reference NE/T003537/1) http://gotw.nerc.ac.uk/list_full.asp?pcode=NE%2FT003537%2F1&cookieConsent=A
The expedition blog for the Smartex expedition JC241, conducted February - March 2023, states one of its key aims is to: "Understand the remaining impact of a realistic mining test on the seabed environment and its fauna after 44 years. We plan to revisit the OMCO (Ocean Minerals Company) test mining area where an experimental mining system was tested in 1979 creating tracks on the seafloor. Using a wide range of techniques we hope to map, photograph and sample this area to see how the tracks and the adjacent areas subjected to plumes have recovered in 44 years" https://blogs.noc.ac.uk/jc241-smartex/introduction
Your response to a previous request, EIR2023/00097, confirmed that UKRI does not hold the images relating to the 1979 tests.
This new request relates to the NERC-funded expedition on the RRS James Cook in February-March 2023. Please release photographs taken of the revisited OMCO test mining area on the JC241 expedition
