### Lot Information

Lot 1

To supplement our in-house resources Crown Estate Scotland (CES) wish to appoint a consultant to support our Energy & Infrastructure Team with the data handling tasks critical to the effective management of our tenants' marine survey data and associated documents uploaded to the Marine Data Exchange (MDE). The MDE is a digital platform and a data management system developed by Crown Estate (TCE) in 2013 to store, manage and disseminate offshore survey data collected by our tenants throughout the lifetime of a project. It also holds research outputs from evidence programmes such as the Offshore Wind Evidence and Change programme. CES has recently entered a partnership with TCE to use MDE for the collection of its tenants' marine survey data. The requirement is for a company with a small team of professionals, who are, ideally, familiar with marine data management standards and offshore survey data to provide data management, insights, and research support during the term of the appointment, in accordance with agreed standards, methodologies and deadlines. Standard tasks will include carrying out the MDE's Quality Assurance process, creation of Data Highlights and Insights, creation, and management of the MDE series extents (a record of the spatial footprint of the surveys we hold), and on occasion the preparation, validation and upload of survey data and associated discovery standard metadata (further details within the accompanying documentation).

Renewal: The initial contract will be for a period of 2 years with the option to extend for a further period of up to 2 years (2 x 12 months extensions) subject to satisfactory financial and contractual performance.
