Natural Resources Institute Finland (hereinafter referred to as "Luke") requested for tenders for a framework agreement of Monitoring Collars for Wild Animals with this Call for Tenders and its appendices. Over the next four years, Luke plans to acquire monitoring collars intended for wild animals for research purposes. The number of collars estimated to be purchased per animal species within the next four years is as follows: - Wolf: total 45 pcs (year 2026: 15 pcs; year 2027: 15 pcs; year 2028: 15 pcs) - Lynx: total 60 pcs (year 2025: 15 pcs; year 2026: 15 pcs; year 2027: 15 pcs, year 2028: 15 pcs) - Roe deer: total 120 pcs (2025: 40 pcs; year 2026: 40 pcs; year 2027: 40 pcs) - White-tailed deer: total 120 pcs (year 2025: 40 pcs; year 2026: 40 pcs; year 2027: 40 pcs) - Forest reindeer: total 100 pcs (year 2025: 10 pcs; year 2026: 30 pcs; year 2027: 30 pcs; year 2028: 30 pcs) - Wild boar: total 50 pcs (year 2026: 20 pcs; year 2027: 30 pcs) Please note that the above mentioned numbers of collars are only rough estimates and not binding on Luke. The actual number of collars to be purchased will be based on Luke's prevailing needs. The procurement also includes the use of the iridium communications service and other services related to the procurement, such as customer support.

This competitive tendering aimed to establishing a single-supplier framework agreement. According to the contracting entity's view this framework agreement could not be divided into separate lots because it would make the implementation of the agreement technically too difficult and excessively expensive. The division of this procurement into lots would also involve a risk of incompatibility between the lots.
