This initiative falls under the goods category within the marine industry, specifically focused on enhancing marine monitoring capabilities. The tender was initiated in November 2020, with a submission deadline set for December 9, 2020, during the medium of an open procedure. The project's objectives include replacing existing equipment and expanding the receiver network to enhance data resolution for tracking fish movements related to marine renewable development sites, with the execution taking place primarily in Scotland. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental monitoring equipment, particularly those involved in marine technology and acoustic systems. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate relevant experience, technical capabilities, and a strong grasp of quality management will be particularly well-suited to compete. By successfully bidding on this contract, companies can not only engage in environmentally sustainable projects but also position themselves as key suppliers to governmental bodies working on crucial marine conservation efforts. ## Notice Marine Scotland have a requirement to replace some existing equipment and to expand the number of receivers to form a "Deepwater Vector Array (DVA)" to provide higher resolution detection data including on fish released within the array and allow fish to be tracked further off shore. This is required to understand smolt movements in relation to marine renewables development sites. The array will also produce information for any other acoustically tagged fish which pass through it. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Marine Scotland have a requirement to replace some existing equipment and to expand the number of receivers to form a "Deepwater Vector Array (DVA)" to provide higher resolution detection data including on fish released within the array and allow fish to be tracked further off shore.
