Summary of the contracting process

In a recently completed procurement process, the Northern Lighthouse Board, based in Edinburgh, has concluded a contract for the manufacture and delivery of buoy bodies. This contract, classified under the industry category of fabrication work, specifically involves the production of two 3-metre diameter solar-powered buoy bodies, to be delivered in Scotland. The procurement followed an open procedure, culminating on 20th May 2025, with the contract period set from 21st May to 9th September 2025. The process was part of a tender initiated to meet the technical specifications outlined by the Northern Lighthouse Board.

This opportunity highlights potential business growth for enterprises in the manufacturing and engineering sectors, particularly those skilled in the production of marine equipment and structures. With the contract awarded to JGC Engineering and Technical Services Ltd, a large-scale engineering company, there remains a potential market for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to compete in similar or future tenders, given the open procurement method and suitability conditions. Businesses that can deliver precise, high-quality fabrication work suitable for maritime use, such as buoys, markers, and other related structures, are well-positioned to take advantage of similar opportunities.
