This tender, titled "Award of Purchase of 69khz acoustic tags (MS-P-0141)," falls within the goods category, particularly focusing on marine equipment and surveillance systems. The procurement is currently in the award stage, with the tender period having started on 25 February and concluded on 31 March 2022. The total contract value awarded amounts to £39,030.70, and the successful supplier for this contract is Thelma Biotel AS, based in Trondheim, Norway. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in marine equipment and surveillance technology, particularly those capable of providing acoustic tracking systems or related services. Companies that manufacture or supply acoustic tags, receivers, or any associated marine research equipment would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts, leveraging their expertise in marine ecology or environmental monitoring. Engaging in this procurement process could help expand businesses into new markets, particularly those related to governmental and environmental research initiatives. ## Notice Marine Scotland invites bids for the purchase of 69khz acoustic tags.Marine Scotland Science is conducting a study examining salmon post-smolt movements in a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland using 69khz acoustic tags.The study will use Thelma Biotel acoustic receivers (TBR 700) strategically placed near rivers and loch pinch points to examine salmon and sea trout smolt migratory behaviours. In addition to tags, there is a requirement for sentinel tags transmitting 69khz to determine receiver/ tag efficiency over time. This study will build on previous acoustic tracking studies conducted in the loch. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR446222 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 Apr 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £39,030 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Additional buyers | ARGYLL COMMUNITY HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED; CALMAC FERRIES LIMITED; CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL; EAST LOTHIAN COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND; ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN EDINBURGH; SCOTTISH POLICE AUTHORITY; SOCIAL SECURITY SCOTLAND; THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) ("NSS"); UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE; UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING; WEST COLLEGE SCOTLAND; WEST LOTHIAN COUNCIL | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8JX | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM03 Angus and Dundee City | | Local authority | Dundee City | | Electoral ward | West End | | Westminster constituency | Dundee Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 43 | | Supplier names | A ALEXANDER & SON ELECTRICAL; ABERDEEN COMPASS ADJUSTING; ABPMER; AMD CONTRACT SERVICES; ANDERSON BELL CHRISTIE; CASTLEVIEW PLANT; CHAS STEWART PLUMBING & HEATING ENGINEERS; CHEMPARTNER EUROPE; COMPUTACENTER; DFFC; DMFCA; ENVIRAZ (SCOTLAND; ENVIRAZ SURVEYS; FAIRWAYS GM; GTR CONTRACTS; HARVEY NASH; HENDERSON LOGGIE; JAMES COWIE; KONGSBERG MARITIME LTD (UK; LINK TREASURY SERVICES; MARK GREGORY; PERTEMPS; PERTEMPS RECRUITMENT PARTNERSHIP; PERTH RADIO TAXIS; PITREAVIE GROUP; PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS; PRISM INFOSEC; RHODAR; SANONDAF; SIMPLEX-TURBULO; SOCOTEC; STORM TECHNOLOGIES; SYSTRA; THE DOUBLE A TRADING; THE UNION ADVERTISING AGENCY; THELMA BIOTEL; THOMAS SHERRIFF; THRIVE; TOYOTA MATERIAL HANDLING; UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH; VENESKY BROWN; VENESKY-BROWN RECRUITMENT; XI ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 34930000 - Marine equipment - 35120000 - Surveillance and security systems and devices ## Release History - 15 Apr 2022 at 11:20 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR446222 ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://https://forestryandland.gov.scot - http://https://www.socialsecurity.gov.scot/ - http://www.acha.co.uk - http://www.calmac.co.uk - http://www.clacks.gov.uk/business/corporateprocurementprocess/ - http://www.dundee.ac.uk - http://www.eastlothian.gov.uk - http://www.fife.gov.uk - http://www.nhsscotlandprocurement.scot.nhs.uk/ - http://www.pkc.gov.uk - http://www.rbge.org.uk - http://www.ros.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.spa.police.uk - http://www.stir.ac.uk/finance-office/procurement/ - http://www.westcollegescotland.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
