## Summary

The Bangor University, as the buying organization, has awarded a contract for the purchase of 4 Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers to Saderet Limited. The procurement process was initiated through a tender process and this award marks the completion of the procurement stage. The contract was signed on April 4, 2023. The purchase falls under the industry category of marine equipment. The procurement method was open, and the University specified detailed technical requirements for the instruments.

This tender for the purchase of Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers by Bangor University presents a growth opportunity for businesses specializing in marine equipment. Companies capable of providing instruments meeting the specified technical requirements would be well-suited to compete. The successful bidder, Saderet Limited, now has the opportunity to fulfil the contract and provide the University with the required equipment. The procurement process was conducted transparently, providing equal opportunities for businesses to participate and secure contracts for providing essential equipment to the University.

## Notice

The School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, wishes to purchase four acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs), capable of simultaneously measuring currents and waves in a range of water depths. All instruments should be capable of measuring current speeds up to 3.5 m/s in minimum bin depths of 0.5 m, and to detect wave heights up to 6 m. Two of the instruments should be capable of operating in water depths in the range 10-30 m, and two of the instruments should be suitable for operating in water depths in the range 30-70 m. It is generally expected that the instrument frequency will be different for the two water depth ranges. All four instruments should be capable of being used on sea bed moorings and on moving vessels, with appropriate corrections for ship movement. All instruments should allow for multiple simultaneous sampling strategies. All instruments should provide sufficient memory and power for deployments of at least 2 months. All four instruments must be internally powered, i.e. they must not require the attachment of external battery canisters or external power sources. The system should include deployment and analysis software with post-processing licenses for two concurrent users. The post-processing should enable the calculation of statistical wave properties such as significant wave height, in addition to the calculation of instantaneous currents.
