•	The extent to which the proposed system meets or exceeds the specified acoustic requirements for the ReefXL project, including:
o	horizontal tracking accuracy of at least 5 metres for approximately 520 transmitters (400 TreeReef frames and 120 Shellfish frames) in a 700 × 700 m area at 35–50 m depth;
o	support for inclination/tilt sensors on TreeReef transmitters and accelerometer/activity/XYZ sensors on Shellfish transmitters;
o	capability for individual traceability of all transmitters in a high density configuration.
•	The extent to which the system demonstrates a proven capacity for autonomous subsea operation at 35–50 m water depth for up to 10 years (transmitter lifetime).
•	The extent to which the Tenderer demonstrates experience with comparable subsea acoustic monitoring deployments in marine research or institutional offshore projects.
•	The degree to which the proposed receiver array and release strategy effectively ensure:
o	diver free deployment and recovery of all receiver units;
o	reliable data collection before and after storm events, with a target data success rate of at least 75%;
o	CE marking and compliance with applicable EU legislation for all receivers and release systems.</cbc:Description>

                        <cbc:Description languageID="NLD">The Deployment &amp; Operational Plan is assessed on the following elements:
•	The extent to which the Tenderer demonstrates a clear and safe methodology for:
o	delivery, installation and commissioning of the acoustic tracking system at the NIOZ location and/or designated deployment site;
o	integration with the TreeReef and Shellfish frames (provided by NIOZ or third parties);
o	support to NIOZ during the initial operational phase.
•	The extent to which data management, remote monitoring capabilities, and servicing procedures are described in a complete, logical, and SMART manner, including:
o	support for selection and implementation of suitable (open source) triangulation software;
o	advice on battery requirements and energy calculations for the receiver system (including 20% safety margin for cold North Sea winter conditions);
o	approach to training NIOZ staff and providing documentation.
•	The extent to which the plan addresses communication with the Contracting Authority during and after deployment, including reporting on system status and data quality.
•	The extent to which risks (e.g. equipment failure, data loss, battery degradation, delays in delivery) are identified and mitigated.</cbc:Description>
