## Summary

The Scottish Government has initiated a public procurement process titled "Tagging and Tracking of Pre-Smolts and Smolts in Scottish Rivers." This project falls within the services category and aims to deploy acoustic receivers to assess the movement and losses of salmon smolts in rivers across Scotland. The tender is currently in the Award stage, having previously been planned with a deadline to submit bids on 10 February 2020. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, supporting various stakeholders within the industry, and bids were to be submitted electronically via Public Contracts Scotland.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in environmental services, research, and technological solutions for wildlife conservation. Companies that specialise in acoustic tracking technology, ecological assessment, and fishery management would be particularly well-suited to participate in this tender. Engaging in this contract not only allows businesses to contribute to an important ecological project but can also lead to future collaborations with the Scottish Government and enhance their portfolio in public sector projects.
