Tender opportunity
Assessment of the potential for acoustic deterrents to mitigate the impact on marine mammals of underwater noise arising from the construction of offshore wind farms (COWRIE DETER-01-07)
Closing date: Friday 26th January 2007
Potential contractors are invited to submit their proposals for the delivery of an assessment of the potential efficacy (or otherwise) of acoustic deterrents to mitigate the environmental impact on marine mammals arising from construction activities (primarily, but not restricted to pile driving) at offshore wind farm development sites.
Please note that due to the specialist nature of this tender, COWRIE requires that all applicants must clearly demonstrate their background expertise.
The Tender Specification Document (click here to download the document) contains full details of the tender process and services requirements.
All tenders must be received by Friday 26th January 2007. Submission details can be found in section 10 of the Tender Specification Document above.
Contractual Process
A draft contract is available here for your information. If you have any issues, please ensure that you raise them in your tender application.
Evaluation
Reviewers will be appointed to evaluate projects as part of the process for selecting successful tenderers. For your information, criteria against which applications will be evaluated can be downloaded here.
1 In the context of this project, the term marine mammals is used to refer to cetaceans and pinnipeds commonly found in UK waters with a particular focus on those species detected in the three UK strategic wind farm areas such as (but not exclusively) Harbour Porpoise, Bottlenose Dolphin, Common Dolphin, other small odontocetes and Common Seal and Grey Seals.
