    Stichting Nederlandse Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Instituten (NWO-I) has cancelled the procurement for the supply, configuration, and delivery of a subsea acoustic fish detection system due to a change in needs. The system was intended for autonomous, long-term monitoring of fish in Dutch coastal waters, requiring a minimum uninterrupted deployment of six months at 40 meters depth, and including at least one split-beam wideband transducer. The estimated contract value was EUR 800,000, and the project duration was 180 days. The award criteria prioritized technical solution/system performance (30%), overall planning (20%), deployment operational plan (25%), and price (25%). Only one bid was received.

    About the bid

      NIOZ (Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research) is conducting a European open procurement procedure for the supply, configuration, and delivery of a subsea acoustic fish detection system as part of the rifHerstel XL project. The system will enable autonomous, long-term monitoring of fish presence, species composition, and biomass in the vicinity of artificial reef structures in Dutch coastal waters. The system must support a minimum uninterrupted deployment duration of six months at an operational water depth of approximately 40 metres, and shall include at least one split-beam wideband transducer for target detection and tracking. Supply of one (1) subsea acoustic fish detection system, including subsea frame, transducer(s), and data acquisition unit, with an estimated contract value of EUR 800,000 excluding VAT.

    Award Criteria

    • Description

      The extent to which the proposed system meets or exceeds the acoustic requirements (split-beam wideband transducer, frequency range, beamwidth), demonstrates proven capacity for autonomous subsea operation at 40 m depth for minimum 6 months, shows experience with comparable subsea acoustic monitoring deployments, and presents an effective antifouling strategy

    • Description

      The extent to which the planning is realistic, sub-phases (system design, factory acceptance testing, subsea frame integration, deployment) will be delivered on time, final delivery and in-situ deployment can take place by end-2026, and contingencies (weather windows, vessel availability, equipment lead times) are accounted for

    • Description

      The extent to which the Tenderer demonstrates a clear and safe methodology for subsea frame deployment and recovery (acoustic release or L-deployment), describes data management, remote monitoring, and servicing procedures in a SMART manner, addresses communication with the Contracting Authority, and identifies/mitigates risks (biofouling, battery degradation, data loss)

    • Description

      Score calculated based on the total offered price excl. VAT, using the formula: score = (lowest offered price / offered price of Tenderer) × 25

      Fish Tracker

      Stichting Nederlandse Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Instituten (NWO-I) needs a complete acoustic tracking system for its ReefXL reef restoration project in the North Sea, with an estimated maximum total value of 545,000 EUR. The system should meet specific acoustic requirements for tracking approximately 520 transmitters in a 700 × 700 m area at 35–50 m depth, support inclination/tilt and accelerometer/activity/XYZ sensors, and allow for individual traceability of all transmitters in a high-density configuration. It must also demonstrate proven capacity for autonomous subsea operation at 35–50 m water depth for up to 10 years, ensure diver-free deployment and recovery of receiver units, and achieve a target data success rate of at least 75%. All receivers and release systems must have CE marking and comply with applicable EU legislation. The award criteria are Technical Solution / System Performance (30%), Overall Planning (20%), Deployment Operational Plan (25%), and Price (25%).
