This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, following a successful open tender method that concluded submissions on 30th May 2019. The awarded contract, valued at £97,619, was signed on 15th July 2019, with the delivery location based in UKM, specifically Edinburgh. This project aims to investigate the sources of fine sediments affecting freshwater pearl mussel populations across three rivers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in freshwater ecology and sediment analysis. Companies that can provide innovative solutions for environmental protection and are capable of conducting intricate research projects would be well-suited to compete in future tenders. Given the emphasis on detailed sediment studies, firms with scientific capabilities and a background in ecological conservation will find valuable prospects in this contracting process. ## Notice The project will consider three rivers where there is evidence that freshwater pearl mussel populations are being adversely affected by fine sediments in order to identify the sources of fine sediments and allow targeted action to take place. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The research aim of this research project is to identify the source, and if possible relative scale, of fine sediment contributing to the main river stem within three discrete catchments. Each of those supports a key freshwater pearl mussel population ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL361143 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 30 May 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 Jul 2019 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £97,619 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH1 3DG | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Leith | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | APEM | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 23 Jul 2019 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL361143 - 3 May 2019 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY353313 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=MAY353313&idx=1 3rd May 2019 - ITT Doc - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=MAY353313&idx=2 3rd May 2019 - ESPD - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=MAY353313&idx=3 3rd May 2019 - FAQs - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY353313 CR/2018/04 - Identifying fine sediment inputs to key freshwater pearl mussel populations - The project will consider three rivers where there is evidence that freshwater pearl mussel populations are being adversely affected by fine sediments in order to identify the sources of fine sediments and allow targeted action to take place. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL361143 CR/2018/04 - Identifying fine sediment inputs to key freshwater pearl mussel populations - The project will consider three rivers where there is evidence that freshwater pearl mussel populations are being adversely affected by fine sediments in order to identify the sources of fine sediments and allow targeted action to take place. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000582902 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
