## Summary

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) in Northern Ireland has completed a tender process concerning the provision of high-resolution optical benthic monitoring equipment, essential for marine blue carbon assessment. The procurement, classified under laboratory, optical, and precision equipment (excluding glasses), was conducted through an open procedure and included two lots, primarily aimed at enhancing carbon transport and monitoring capabilities within Northern Ireland’s benthic environments. The tender's significant parameters include a contract value of 288,050 GBP, indicating a strategic investment in environmental protection and sustainable practices.

This contract represents a valuable opportunity for companies specialising in the production and servicing of scientific equipment, particularly those involved in optical systems and underwater technology. Suppliers capable of providing advanced imaging systems or 3D scanning laser systems will find that their expertise aligns well with the requirements of this project. Successful bidders will not only contribute to environmental assessments but also gain a foothold in the growth of marine science and carbon monitoring sectors, which are increasingly vital in the fight against climate change.
