This procurement falls under the industry category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment, specifically relating to remote-control equipment. The tender is currently in the active stage and will close on 27th September 2017. The procurement method is tendering, and the contract period is set to commence from 9th October 2017 and conclude on 8th October 2021. The project will require deployments in various global locations, with a particular focus on the Southern Ocean and Antarctic regions. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in the development and supply of autonomous underwater vehicles, remote sensing technologies, and related laboratory equipment. Companies that can offer innovative solutions in hydrographic assessment, environmental monitoring, and marine research will be well-suited to compete. Engaging with this contract could facilitate significant business growth, allowing suppliers to expand their market reach in scientific and environmental sectors while collaborating with a reputable academic institution. ## Notice Buoyancy-driven profiling autonomous underwater vehicles The project requires gliders to be deployed in a variety of locations worldwide but will focus particularly on deployments in the Southern Ocean, on the Antarctic continental shelf and slope, in polynyas and in the vicinity of ice shelves. We will assess hydrography and tracers in the water masses on the continental shelf, and in the dense waters spilling off the shelf into the abyss as part of the global overturning circulation. Of particular interest are mixing processes and turbulence, for example caused by internal wave breaking or by air-sea interaction. We will use the glider-measured temperature and salinity fields together with the glider-derived dive-average-current to assess the current velocity field.
