    Brief

    Cefas seeks to procure Datawell Mark III Waverider buoys and associated components to support the Wavenet project. These buoys are essential for maintaining continuous wave monitoring and oceanographic data collection across multiple Cefas-operated coastal and offshore monitoring sites. The equipment will supplement the existing Waverider stock and progressively replace aging or damaged units, ensuring uninterrupted data collection capabilities. Suppliers should be familiar with marine monitoring equipment, Datawell systems, and the specifications required for oceanic deployment. This procurement supports critical national marine monitoring infrastructure.
