## Summary

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited, which is commissioning the "UK SBS RE18278 Hire of 1x AWAC Seabed Mooring Frame" for offshore mooring work. This contract is located off the east coast of St Vincent and aims to deploy a Nortek AWAC wave gauge for two separate deployments, each lasting around 6-8 weeks. The tender was awarded on 31 July 2018, and the contract period spans from 1 August 2018 to 31 July 2019. This procurement was executed via a direct method under a single tender action, as it is below the threshold requirements.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in offshore mooring and environmental monitoring, particularly those capable of fabricating bed frames and conducting marine deployments. Companies with local knowledge of the St Vincent area, as well as familiarity with the Nortek AWAC instruments and related deployment methodologies, will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Such opportunities can help businesses expand their operational capabilities and establish a footprint in the marine environmental assessment sector.

## Notice

We require the deployment of a Nortek AWAC wave gauge in the nearshore zone off the east coast of St Vincent for 2 separate deployments each of about 6-8 weeks (estimated battery endurance). The water depth will be about 10m. The company needs to have a bed frame made and carry out the deployment from a small boat. Local knowledge and familiarity with the instrument and deployment methods are required.
