This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on surveying services and survey vessels. The tender is currently active and is being conducted through an open procedure, with a budget of £30,000. The tender period is expected to close on 15 November 2021, while the contract is scheduled to commence on 1 December 2021 and conclude by 31 March 2022. The work will take place in four designated survey areas within the Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast (BNNC) region in Scotland. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the surveying and marine sectors, particularly those that specialise in bathymetric surveys or possess suitable vessels for such operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate as the procurement is open to them. Competitors should be well-versed in the relevant technical standards, capable of providing accurate survey data meeting the International Hydrographic Organization's specifications, and available to deliver within the outlined contract period. ## Notice Cefas requires a vessel and associated services to undertake bathymetric surveys in four areas within BNNC, and deliver data, which will aid in the planning of the camera survey work. Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast (x4 Survey Areas) Four bathymetric surveys sites within the BNNC SAC are required covering the previously acquired survey areas. Full swathe bathymetry coverage is required for the specified areas. The data must comply with the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) s-44 order 1a, 6th edition (S-44_Edition_6.0.0_EN.pdf (iho.int)). This standard specifies total horizontal uncertainty (THU) horizontal accuracy of 5 m plus 5% of water depth and total vertical uncertainty (TVU) of 0.5 m plus 0.013% of water depth. Tidal reduction shall be conducted using the Vertical Offshore Reference Frame (VORF) and bathymetry is to be reduced to the Chart Datum (CD) reference. Due to the shallow water depths of the survey areas and the tidal regime, Cefas requires Tenderers to provide a provisional line plan that will propose initial survey line spacing and will seek to maximise the coverage obtained in the shoal areas. Tenderers should also provide an estimation of time required to acquire the data and an estimate of time required for running of infill lines. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/542c7be1-663d-4d02-a02b-fa225fe8ec47 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 17 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 34513550 - Survey vessels - 71355000 - Surveying services ## Release History - 10 Nov 2021 at 15:04 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/542c7be1-663d-4d02-a02b-fa225fe8ec47 - 5 Nov 2021 at 15:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/542c7be1-663d-4d02-a02b-fa225fe8ec47 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/542c7be1-663d-4d02-a02b-fa225fe8ec47 10th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
