We want this to be an opportunity for suppliers to show us what they have that we might not know about to identify opportunities and innovative technologies within the market that we may be underutilising or have not yet considered. We are interested in all aspects of the delivery of this solution such as marine installations, instrumentation and monitoring techniques.<br/>A briefing call is scheduled on the 17th July at 10am BST for all interested suppliers to attend and for the project team to provide a detailed presentation of the ask. <br/>A questionnaire will be issued to suppliers to be completed on their technology/approach which will incorporate the questions highlighted in this PIN (see section 3) for their technology propositions. <br/><br/>Further details of this project, and the briefing call invitation can be requested at uktgn@environment-agency.gov.uk.
