The contract, awarded using a direct procurement method, is for marine survey services. The tender period started on January 9, 2023, and ends on January 9, 2024. The contract was signed on December 23, 2022, with the University of St Andrews being the awarded supplier. This tender provides an opportunity for businesses involved in marine survey services and research to compete for a contract to develop a methodology for estimating density of cetaceans using survey and acoustic monitoring data. The Scottish Government as the buyer seeks to enhance its marine research capabilities through this project. Businesses with expertise in marine services and research are well-suited to participate in this procurement opportunity. ## Notice Marine Scotland invites suitable contractors to tender for a project developing a scientifically robust methodology for combining aerial survey data with static, passive acoustic monitoring data to provide quantitative, absolute density estimates of regularly vocalising cetaceans (e.g. harbour porpoises and bottlenose dolphins). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN468373 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | The contract is awarded to a single supplier without competition. | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 1 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Jan 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £50,000 | | 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 | ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL; ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL; CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL; CONSUMER SCOTLAND; EAST LOTHIAN COUNCIL; EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY; FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS ENTERPRISE; NHS AYRSHIRE & ARRAN; NHS LANARKSHIRE; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN EDINBURGH; SCOTTISH ENTERPRISE; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT- SASA; SCOTTISH POLICE AUTHORITY; THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL; THE JAMES HUTTON INSTITUTE | | Locality | LOCHGILPHEAD | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA31 8RT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Govan | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow South West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 38 | | Supplier names | ASA RECRUITMENT (QUICK QUOTES; BARDEM; BIOMATHEMATICS & STATISTISTICS SCOTLAND; CENTRAL PERIPHERALS; CLARK CONTRACTS; CODECLAN; DEE COOPER PROMOTIONS; DIAMOND; DUNCAN WEMYSS; EKOS; ERC, ASTON UNIVERSITY; FISCAL TECHNOLOGIES; FORM BY THOUGHT; HARVEY NASH; IAIN WALKER; INCREMENTAL GROUP; INSIGHT DIRECT (UK; IPSOS MORI; IRVINE PLANT; KICK ICT; KNOXFIELD ESTATE SERVICES; METCRAFT LIGHTING; MHB CONSULTANTS; PROFESSIONAL COST MANAGEMENT GROUP; PROGRESSIVE PARTNERSHIP; RAVENHILL; RESEARCH RESOURCE SCOTLAND; RITEMP SERVICES; SCOTGRAIN AGRICULTURE; SOILESSENTIALS; TAKARA BIO EUROPE; THE DIFFLEY PARTNERSHIP; UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS; UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING - DEMENTIA SERVICES DEVELOPMENT CENTRE; VENESKY BROWN; VENESKY-BROWN RECRUITMENT; VERITAS ECOLOGY; WE ARE SNOOK | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 71354500 - Marine survey services - 73110000 - Research services - 73112000 - Marine research services - 98360000 - Marine services ## Release History - 11 Jan 2023 at 15:35 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN468373 ## Notice URLs - http://https://forestryandland.gov.scot - http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk - http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk - http://www.clacks.gov.uk/business/corporateprocurementprocess/ - http://www.eastlothian.gov.uk - http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk - http://www.hie.co.uk - http://www.hutton.ac.uk - http://www.nhsaaa.net - http://www.nhslanarkshire.org.uk - http://www.pkc.gov.uk - http://www.rbge.org.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.scottish-enterprise.com/ - http://www.spa.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
