## Summary

The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology has issued a tender titled "Instrumentation: Microwave Scintillometer" for hydrographic instruments. The procurement, currently at the tender stage, is seeking one to three microwave scintillometers for large-scale evaporation and heat flux estimation. The delivery addresses are in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The tender, worth £300,000, has a tender period ending on 29th March 2024, with a contract period from 1st May 2024 to 30th August 2024.

This opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and can benefit businesses involved in hydrographic instruments or related fields. Businesses interested in providing long path microwave scintillometers within the specified range can compete for this contract. The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology is the buying organisation, based in Wallingford, with Beth Seager as the contact person. SMEs keen on engaging in competitive exercises related to large-scale evaporation monitoring and heat flux estimation should explore this tender opportunity.

## Notice

We are likely to have a requirement for one to three microwave scintillometers to be used with infrared Large Aperture Scintillometers (LAS) for estimation of large scale evaporation and heat fluxes. They will be long path, between 500m to 3km. We would like to hear from any interested parties who would like to be involved in any future competitive exercises.
