Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government recently awarded a contract for a project titled "Identifying Movements of Migrating Salmonids Around windfarms and Potential Impacts." This project falls under the category of services and involves researching the potential impacts of offshore wind on migrating salmonids. The study area is the Moray Firth, where salmonids migrate through constructed wind farms. The main objective is to advance the evidence base for offshore wind development. The contract, with a value of £64,435.40, was signed on 29th November 2023.

This tender by the Scottish Government presents an opportunity for businesses interested in environmental research and marine biology sectors. The project requires expertise in monitoring marine wildlife and conducting environmental impact assessments, making it suitable for companies with experience in similar projects. Businesses focusing on renewable energy, environmental conservation, and marine wildlife research are well-positioned to compete in this procurement stage. The opportunity involves conducting field research, data analysis, and developing monitoring strategies to understand the interactions between migrating salmonids and offshore wind structures.

Notice Title

Identifying Movements of Migrating Salmonids Around windfarms and Potential Impacts

Notice Description

The Offshore Wind Directorate invited a tender from a suitable contractor to research the potential impacts of offshore wind on migrating salmonids. This research will study salmonids migrating from the River Wick through constructed wind farms in the Moray Firth as a case study to advance the evidence base for offshore wind development.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Little is known about the routes of migrating salmonids in the marine environment and with the increase in offshore wind farm infrastructure this study aims to provide information on whether and how migratory salmonids move through offshore wind arrays and identify potential impacts encountered by migrating salmonids. The tenderer will develop a monitoring strategy which will include the design of an acoustic receiver array to monitor salmonid movements through offshore wind farms and enable assessments of potential impacts. To achieve this the tenderer will make use of Scottish Government acoustic receivers and tag salmonids on the River Wick. The data from tracked salmonids will be analysed to improve our understanding of the potential impacts which will include but not be limited to: predator/prey interactions, migration speed and time spent within the development

Options: This is a 17 month contract. There will be the opportunity to extend this contract for a further 3 months at Scottish Ministers discretion.

Renewal: Following the end of the initial contract period of 17 months the contract maybe extended by a further 3 months
