This tender, categorised under goods in the satellite-related communications equipment industry, is located in St Andrews, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the active tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 15 March 2022. Interested suppliers can submit their proposals via the university’s eTendering System, InTend. The total estimated value of the procurement is £300,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the design and manufacture of satellite technology, particularly those capable of producing archival tags for aquatic animal tracking. Companies that can meet the specific requirements for 1- and 2-year deployment tags, which must include features like automated detachment, data transmission capabilities, and programmability, would be well-positioned to compete. Moreover, this contract's evaluation will consider price, making competitive pricing strategies essential for participating suppliers. ## Notice Lot 1 = Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags capable of deployment for 1 year (battery and memory capacity). Lot 2 = Tags capable of deployment for 2 years (battery and memory capacity). ### Lot Information School of Biology: Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags Lot 1: The requirements for a 1-year of deployment Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags should: - be 150 cm or smaller (tag body length exc. aerial). - track sharks for a period of up to 1-year. - automatically detach from the shark. - record archival depth and temperature data. - provide estimated daily locational data with associated error. - provide real-time surface location data post detachment. -transmit data via satellite network. - be programmable for user requirements (including data resolution, data priority, deployment period). - tags must include a tether and anchor. Final anchor design to be discussed, but likely to be stainless steel or titanium metal dart anchor. - cost of any application hardware (applicator pin, pole and handle (for both 'on deck' application and 'in water' application) should also be included.
