## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Cefas, involves a tender titled "GB-Malden, Essex: Bradwell Underwater Noise Propagation Measurements". This opportunity falls under the data collection and collation services industry category and is located in Maldon, Essex, United Kingdom. The tender period will close on 23rd September 2019, with contract execution starting on 1st October 2019 and lasting until 1st December 2019. This open procedure is suited for small and medium enterprises, with a contract value estimated at £25,000 and a minimum value of £10,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy and data collection services, particularly those with experience in underwater acoustics. Small and medium enterprises that possess the requisite technical expertise and resources to conduct sound propagation measurements would be well-positioned to compete. The successful tenderer will engage in meaningful work that not only validates critical environmental models but also contributes to marine research developments, enhancing their profile in this niche market.

## Notice

Cefas requires underwater sound propagation loss measurements be carried out off the coast of Bradwell-on-Sea, Maldon in Essex in order to validate an underwater propagation model. The successful Tenderer is required to carry out measurements at two to three source locations with transects running upstream/downstream and across the Blackwater Estuary. The source locations and transect directions are to be agreed with Cefas and should be chosen based on variations in bathymetry. Cefas will provide the successful Tenderer with a PDF map of the area showing the local bathymetry in order to aid this discussion. The measurements should be conducted during winter months i.e. between November 2019 and December 2019. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
