The Scottish Government's Marine Directorate wants to buy and install replacement underwater parts for an existing Teledyne Reson T50 multibeam echosounder, a specialist sonar system used to map the seabed in shallow water. The estimated value is £120,000.

What the buyer wants

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice names a specific manufacturer's system and asks for replacement parts for it, so most small businesses without access to that specialist marine survey equipment, or the ability to install it, would likely be ruled out.
