Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed a tender process for the provision of "Access to Offshore Digital Television," aimed at supporting its Marine Scotland division in providing digital television services on five operational vessels in Scottish waters. The tender, categorised under services with a CPV classification of "92224000 - Digital television," utilised a limited procurement method with rationale due to a lack of competition for technical reasons. The contract was signed on 1 January 2022, with a total value of £225,000. The procurement process is documented under the reference NCA/21/093 and is now active.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the telecommunications and entertainment industries, particularly for those with expertise in providing digital services suitable for maritime operations. Companies possessing the capability to offer satellite or internet-based digital TV solutions would be well-suited to compete, especially in scenarios where traditional cable services are not feasible. With the requirement for ongoing access to relevant information and entertainment for staff during lengthy sea voyages, the successful supplier is well-positioned to form a long-term relationship with the Scottish Government and support its operational compliance needs.
