This opportunity, classified under the industry category of Quantity Surveying Services, aims to assess the wreck of the SS DERBENT, which sank in 1917 off Anglesey, North Wales, to determine the remaining quantity of oil. The tender period is set to end on 2 April 2021, with potential contract activities beginning from 14 May 2021 to 28 May 2021. The estimated contract value is £800,000, and the procurement process may follow a Restricted Competition format as outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in underwater photography services and related marine operations. Businesses capable of conducting surveys and providing detailed reports on underwater conditions would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this project could enhance their visibility and experience within the public sector, fostering potential future contracts in marine and environmental assessments. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: Switch of CPV codes from Quantity Surveying Services to Underwater Photography Services Other additional information: The Authority reserves the right to amend any condition related to security of information to reflect any changes in national law or government policy.
