## Summary

The procurement process involves the Scottish Government, which is conducting a tender titled "CR/2018/14 - Review of Noise Modelling Approaches to Inform Marine Mammal Pile Driving." This initiative falls under the services category within the public services sector and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 9th October 2018. Prospective suppliers are invited to submit bids electronically, marking this as an open procurement method where all interested parties can participate.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in marine environmental studies, acoustics, and impact assessments related to marine mammals. Companies with expertise in noise modelling and underwater assessments would be particularly well-suited to compete, leveraging this opportunity to expand their portfolios. Successful engagement in this project could lead to further collaborations with the Scottish Government and other entities focused on marine conservation and environmental impact research.

## Notice

The research aim of this research project is to review noise modelling approaches to inform Scottish Government and external parties on marine mammal noise impact assessments.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Review noise modelling approaches currently used in underwater impact assessments for marine mammals. The review will focus on pile driving noise, although modelling of other types of noise may also be included if considered appropriate. Cover modelling approaches for both single strike and cumulative metrics, including the potential for auditory injury and behavioural impacts. Include a critical appraisal of the available and currently used options/approaches for the assessment of pile driving noise. The appraisal should highlight the implications of different model choices and the model sensitivities to input parameters. Where this information is not readily available by means of a literature review or direct comparison of examples of modelling, noise modelling may be undertaken to illustrate specific sensitivities.
