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.

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

If the moderated average score was less than '2' for any of the questions marked 'M', the tender will be eliminated from the process and will receive an overall PQR score of 0 (zero). Tenderers were also asked to confirm that they will pay staff that are involved in the delivery of services under the contract at least the real living wage. Tenderers who did not pass these questions were not subject to Commercial Analysis as a result the tender will not be considered further. Bidders had to complete the SPD (Scotland) to demonstrate adherence to the Exclusion and Selection Criteria for this procurement. If there were named subcontractors/technicians upon which the bidder will rely to meet the selection criteria, these named parties had to complete and reattach the SPD Supplier Response Form attached to SPD. If bidders did intend to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements detailed in the Contract Notice, they had to confirm they had (or have access to) the relevant supply chain management and tracking systems to ensure a resilient and sustainable supply chain. This had to include confirmation that they had the systems in place to pay subcontractors through the supply chain promptly and effectively, and provide evidence when requested of: a) their standard payment terms b) >=95% of all supply chain invoices being paid on time (in accordance with the terms of contract) in the last financial year. If the bidder is unable to confirm (b) they must provide an improvement plan, signed by their Director, which improves the payment performance. Bidders were required to confirm that they would employ environmental management measures that would meet the following requirements: Bidders were required to provide evidence that their organisation had taken steps to build their awareness of the climate change emergency and how they would respond. Accepted evidence includes but is not limited to: a completed copy of the Bidder 'relevant contract' Climate Change Plan Template, including planned projects and actions to reduce the bidder's carbon emissions. This does not need to contain calculated carbon emissions. (SC Ref:753746)",
