This open tender process is currently in the award stage, with the contract signed on 15 September 2021 for a total value of £63,602.33. The award notice was published on 9 February 2022, detailing the need for the equipment to ensure comprehensive data collection, which has previously been hindered by other provisional methods that did not allow for real-time data transfer. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in marine technology, instrumentation, and telemetry systems. Companies with experience in supplying scientific equipment or those possessing technical capabilities to deliver innovative marine solutions would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Notably, SMEs in the goods sector may find advantageous grounds for collaboration or partnership in response to such government contracts orchestrated by the Scottish Government. ## Notice The Scottish Ministers has a requirement to purchase an oceanographic buoy with telemetry system Alternative provisions have been used in the past to collect a subset of measurements, but not all required variables can be measured at the mooring location in that way, the interim solution tied up equipment required for other projects, and real-time data transfer, which was part of the project deliverables, could not be achieved. The equipment will be operated by scientific staff from Marine Scotland, Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Scottish Ministers has a requirement to purchase an oceanographic buoy with telemetry system Alternative provisions have been used in the past to collect a subset of measurements, but not all required variables can be measured at the mooring location in that way, the interim solution tied up equipment required for other projects, and real-time data transfer, which was part of the project deliverables, could not be achieved.
