## Summary

The Scottish Government is currently conducting a procurement process titled "CR/2018/12 - Improving estimates of seabird body-mass survival relationships," aimed at enhancing models that predict the impact of offshore renewable developments on seabirds. This open procurement, categorised under services, is set in the UK with a submission deadline on 4th October 2018. The project involves analysing empirical data primarily from seabird species such as black-legged kittiwakes, common guillemots, razorbills, and Atlantic puffins, and has a contract period of 180 days.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in ecological research and environmental modelling, particularly those with expertise in ornithology and data analysis. Companies specialised in conducting large-scale ecological studies, especially those focusing on marine wildlife, would find this tender aligned with their capabilities. Additionally, businesses that can demonstrate a strong understanding of the impacts of renewable energy projects on marine ecosystems will be well-positioned to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The project will consider the body-mass survival parameter estimates to improve models predicting the impact of offshore renewable developments (ORDs) on seabirds.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Analyse existing empirical data on a range of seabird species, prioritising black-legged kittiwakes, common guillemots, razorbills, and Atlantic puffins, to produce body-mass survival parameters that more closely reflect reality. Other species could also be included if it is demonstrated they add value to the project.
