Summary of the contracting process

Edinburgh Napier University has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of Satellite Tags, a project that falls under the goods category within the "Tags" industry. This initiative is part of the EU-supported PeacePlus funding call, specifically for the MOSAIC project aimed at investigating the connectivity of elasmobranchs across Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. With the procurement stage reaching completion on 28th May 2026, Wildlife Computers has been awarded the contract valued at £55,935. The procurement used an open procedure and was governed by the GPA, underscoring its adherence to international procurement standards. The University, located at Sighthill Campus, Edinburgh, acted as the contracting authority, with the European Union as the funding partner for the project. The procurement opportunity was part of a larger four-year project and included the possibility of obtaining further EU funding for additional satellite tags.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in the production and supply of precision equipment, particularly those involved with satellite tagging technology, laboratory-grade equipment, or related fields. The criteria for choosing suppliers included technical merit, account management, environmental responsibility, and competitive pricing, indicating that organisations with robust quality control measures, relevant industry experience, and adequate financial standing are favoured. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can particularly benefit, given the precedence of an SME, Wildlife Computers, securing the contract. Businesses eyeing similar opportunities should offer innovative solutions with proven technical aptitude and reliability, aligning with the contracting authority’s quality and economic expectations.
