Tender description

This procurement covers the supply of specialist acoustic telemetry equipment to support a marine research programme. The scope includes the provision of underwater receivers, electronic tagging devices and associated equipment used to monitor and track the movement and habitat use of marine species. The system enables the collection of high-resolution environmental and behavioural data to support scientific analysis of habitat connectivity and ecosystem function. The equipment has been selected to ensure compatibility with established telemetry networks and to facilitate data sharing within collaborative research initiatives. It also maintains continuity with previously deployed infrastructure within the project, ensuring consistent data capture and minimizing technical risk. The procurement forms part of a wider, grant-funded research activity and supports delivery of defined scientific objectives within a fixed project timeframe. The requirement is for a complete, integrated solution capable of reliable long-term deployment in a coastal marine environment. ## Contract award
