This initiative falls under the general public services category and aims to deploy thirty GPS GSM tags to monitor the behaviour of piscivorous birds during salmon smolt migration, primarily around April and May. The tender is active, with a submission deadline of 29 January 2020, and work is expected to commence shortly thereafter, lasting until 31 December 2021. The entire process follows an open procurement method, and bidders must submit their proposals electronically. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in wildlife tracking, environmental consultancy, or GPS technology services. Companies with experience in ornithology, river management, or ecological studies would particularly benefit by participating in this procurement process. Bidders are required to demonstrate relevant experience, financial stability, and to hold specific insurances, making this an ideal opportunity for competitive firms looking to expand their portfolios in environmental monitoring and conservation efforts. ## Notice The Scottish Ministers wish to deploy thirty GPS GSM tags on two Scottish rivers. The principle requirement of the work will be to assess the movement and behaviour of piscivorous birds in riverine environments during the period of salmon smolt migration (focussed around April and May) and to understand the consequences of management procedures such as bird scaring. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Scottish Ministers wish to deploy thirty GPS GSM tags on two Scottish rivers.
