    About the bid

      The Buyer wishes to enter into parallel Framework Agreements with suppliers. NORCE LFI, The Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (the Buyer), intends to procure acoustic transmitters and additional acoustic receivers for research-based tracking of fish in aquatic environments. The equipment will be used in both freshwater and marine systems, encompassing a wide range of environmental conditions, including temperatures from below freezing to approximately 30 °C, and at depths exceeding 500 m. The technology will be applied to a diverse range of fish species—from small salmonids to large predatory species (e.g., sharks)—representing a broad spectrum of life‑history strategies and behavioural patterns. Deployments will take place across varied geographic regions, ranging from temperate coastal waters in the Skagerrak to Arctic and sub‑Arctic environments. The equipment must therefore be robust, reliable, and suitable for long‑term scientific monitoring under demanding field conditions. Further specifications are given in Appendix 1 – Requirements. The Buyer intends to enter into parallel Framework Agreements with up to 3 tenderers/suppliers, provided that enough suitable tenders are received. The duration of the Framework Agreement is two (2) years following the date of the last signature hereto, with an option to extend for 1 + 1 additional years. The Buyer will be automatically extended on unchanged terms unless the Buyer provides written notice of non-renewal before the expiry of the current contract period. The maximum total contract duration is four years. The Framework Agreement has an estimated value of NOK 2 500 000, - excl. VAT and a maximum value of NOK 6 000 000, - excl. VAT. These are non-binding estimates to the best of the Buyer's discretion. Buyer emphasizes that this is just an estimate, and the total value may be both lower or higher than the estimated amount.

      Oceanografisk utstyr og hydrofonere

      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%).
