25N05123 - Acquisition of 2 (two) Master Buoys with Integrated Sensors
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender, identified as 25N05123, concerns the acquisition of two master buoys equipped with integrated sensors. Buoys are floating devices used for various purposes, including navigation, data collection, and monitoring in marine or aquatic environments. A "master buoy" typically serves as a central unit or a primary data collection point. The integration of sensors suggests these buoys will be used for environmental monitoring, such as measuring water quality parameters (temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen), wave height, current speed, or meteorological data. The acquisition aims to enhance the capacity for real-time data collection and analysis in a specific aquatic area, likely for scientific research, environmental protection, or operational management. Bidders must supply buoys that are robust, reliable, and capable of withstanding harsh marine conditions. The integrated sensors need to meet specific accuracy and performance standards. The tender may also include requirements for data transmission capabilities, power supply, deployment, and maintenance. This procurement is crucial for advancing marine research or monitoring efforts.
This is a supplies contract in the energy and power, information and communication technology and Research sectors, with a focus on Energy Storage and Scientific Research. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 15,000.

Description
Original language: PortugueseThis tender, identified by reference 25N05123, is an invitation to tender for the acquisition of two master buoys with integrated sensors. The procurement is being conducted within Portugal, as indicated by its source from the base_gov_pt portal, which centralizes information on public contracts in mainland Portugal and its autonomous regions.
The contracting authority, seeking to enhance its maritime monitoring or operational capabilities, requires the supply of advanced buoy systems. These master buoys are expected to be sophisticated platforms designed for data collection and transmission in marine environments. The "integrated sensors" aspect suggests a need for buoys equipped with a range of monitoring instruments, likely to measure parameters such as water quality, meteorological conditions, wave data, currents, or other relevant oceanographic or navigational information.
Typical requirements for such tenders would include detailed technical specifications for the buoys, encompassing their construction materials, durability, power sources (potentially solar or battery-powered with long operational life), communication systems (e.g., satellite, cellular), and data logging capabilities. Bidders will likely be expected to demonstrate their experience in supplying similar marine technology, provide comprehensive warranty and maintenance support, and ensure compliance with relevant international maritime standards and regulations. The tender will assess proposals based on technical merit, proposed delivery timelines, and overall value for money.
