## Summary

The University of Plymouth is seeking suppliers for the procurement of acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP) for a research project in the British Indian Ocean Territory, totalling £100,000. The tender, initiated on 8 April 2019, closed on 23 April 2019. This procurement falls under the goods category and was conducted through an open procedure below the threshold. The successful bidding will support a contract period starting from 29 April 2019 and ending on 28 April 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of scientific and acoustic devices, particularly those that can provide goods meeting research specifications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the acoustic technology sector are well-suited to compete, given the University’s specific focus on advanced oceanographic instrumentation, which plays a vital role in marine research initiatives.

## Notice

The University requires a small number of acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP) with various ranges to be deployed in British Indian Ocean Territory for a research project aiming to investigate the influence of physical oceanographic processes on near-bed sediment resuspension processes and biomass aggregation. Of principal importance are the impact of internal waves in driving turbulent mixing and the transport of resuspended particles up and down the strongly sloping seabed that surrounds the seamounts and atolls to be studied.
