This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the geotechnical, marine research, or environmental data management sectors. Companies with experience in providing geotechnical engineering services or related consultancy services are particularly well-suited to express interest. The requirement for businesses to register on the eSourcing Suite suggests that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can participate effectively, allowing them to compete for future contracts that focus on marine environmental data specifications. ## Notice *** This tender requirement was abandoned prior to a Contract award decision. *** The Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) are working towards creating a consistent framework of specifications for the acquisition and management of UK-commissioned marine environmental data. MEDIN have derived and published data guidelines which set out the information that must be recorded when data of a certain type is being collected. These guidelines are not instructions on how to collect data, but are specifications on what information and data are required to ensure the re-use of the collected data, without recourse to the person(s) who performed the survey.
