## Summary

The University of Plymouth has completed a procurement process for oceanography equipment, specifically a vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler to measure water currents from a moving vessel. This procurement falls under the category of Oceanography and Hydrology Services (CPV: 71351920) and was carried out using a direct procurement method through a single tender action below the threshold. The equipment will be delivered to the South West region in the United Kingdom, with the contract period spanning from 1st August 2024 to 30th October 2024. The total contract value is GBP 30,400.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as the procurement was suitable for SMEs and has already been awarded to an SME, Nortek UK. Businesses specialising in oceanography equipment or related maritime technologies would find this type of contract particularly beneficial for growth, given the specialised nature of the equipment and the specific procurement needs of academic and research institutions such as the University of Plymouth.
