The brief

The final date and time for the submission of bids is 15/02/2018 at 11:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.

All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal.

The British Geological Survey are looking to upgrade our multibeam and backscatter acquisition system to enable us to deploy it on small, near-shore survey vessels.

BGS own and operate a small 9 m Cheetah catamaran called the White Ribbon.

The equipment currently aboard this vessel is coming to the end of its working life.

The White Ribbon has a permanent mount, but it envisaged the new system will be mobilised on a variety of small vessels of opportunity.

The new system must therefore be easy to set-up, transport and mountable on a customised over-the-side pole.
