## Summary

The Scottish Government has initiated a public procurement process for the "Moray Firth Mooring and Fish Tagging Work". This project falls under the services industry category and is based in the Moray Firth region. The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender period ending on 6 April 2022. Companies interested in bidding should prepare their submissions electronically, as the procurement method is an open procedure that invites suitable vessels to monitor fish movements around the Beatrice and Moray East Windfarms. The total value of the contract is approximately £50,000, and the work duration is expected to be around 15 days, subject to weather conditions.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for marine service providers, particularly those involved in acoustic monitoring and environmental consultancy. Businesses that operate vessels suited for the specific requirements outlined in the tender documentation will find this contract appealing.
