Summary of the contracting process

The University of St Andrews is currently engaged in a procurement process for the "School of Biology: Wideband Autonomous Transceiver," aimed at acquiring goods for the education sector, specifically autonomous echosounders. This tender is at the award stage, having been signed on 2nd December 2019, and was originally solicited through an open procedure. The procurement value is approximately £91,904, and the equipment delivery is to the UK, in St Andrews (KY16 9LB). The award notice was published following a competitive tender process, which concluded on 25th November 2019.

This opportunity for the supply of a specialised underwater acoustic device opens avenues for businesses in the marine technology and scientific instrument sectors, particularly those that can provide innovative and reliable goods. Companies that specialise in marine technology, electronic engineering, or have experience in creating autonomous sensors will be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts with academic institutions such as the University of St Andrews. Engaging with the university's e-Tendering System could facilitate connections and future opportunities in the educational procurement landscape.
