This initiative, classified under the services industry category, aims to deploy acoustic receivers and tag juvenile salmon in rivers around Scotland to assess their movement and survival rates. The procurement method specified for this tender is an open procedure, and while the tender period ended on 4 December 2020, it was subsequently cancelled. Potential bidders are encouraged to consider locations in various rivers throughout Scotland for service delivery. This tender presents an opportunity for environmental and ecological consultancy firms, research institutions, and technology providers specialising in acoustic tracking and aquatic studies. Businesses that can demonstrate relevant experience, possess necessary technical qualifications, and meet financial criteria would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. The emphasis on quality assurance and demonstrated understanding of project requirements suggests that firms with robust project management frameworks and previous experience in similar ecological projects will be best suited to succeed in this space. ## Notice The Scottish Ministers wish to deploy acoustic receivers and tag pre-smolts and smolts in four Scottish rivers. The principle requirement of the work will be to assess the movement and losses of salmon smolts in riverine environments and to understand the consequences of different procedures and equipment on spatial patterns of apparent minimal survival. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Scottish Ministers wish to deploy acoustic receivers and tag pre-smolts and smolts in four Scottish rivers.
