The tender is currently in the active stage, following an open procurement method, and applications must be submitted by 10 March 2021. The total value of the contract is £35,000, covering services including vessel provision, equipment supply, and comprehensive survey reports planned to commence from 22 March 2021 to 30 April 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in hydrographic surveying and marine survey services, particularly those equipped with suitable vessels and technicians for detailed underwater surveys. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant experience are encouraged to participate, as they may benefit from the contract offerings. The requirement for sophisticated data processing and reporting means that businesses with technical expertise in sonar and imaging technologies will be well-positioned to compete effectively. ## Notice Cefas require the successful Tenderer to deliver all requirements, i.e. the provision to supply all services required including vessel, Staff/technicians, equipment with suitable insurance, data processing, reports and supply. Please note that the survey area may be amended, but will be agreed with the successful Tenderer. A vessel, crew, survey team, and suitable equipment are required to undertake a side-scan sonar survey and an Aris camera survey within the area shown above in pink. The total area is approximately 5.3km2 and is in the vicinity of Hinkley Point nuclear power station, Bridgwater Bay, Severn Estuary. The side-scan sonar survey should be run to obtain full coverage of the area with 200% overlap along lines. The side-scan sonar will be capable of operating at a frequency which gives the amount of detail needed to identify Sabellaria formations in the processed side-scan data. A frequency of around 600 kHz has given good results in previous surveys. Preferably, the side-scan sonar data should be processed on the vessel, or alternatively processed ashore at the end of each day so that the Aris camera survey can be planned during the geophysical acquisition. A full report will be required along with processed and raw format data.
