Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government issued a tender for the supply of spare parts for the steering gear of the vessel MPV Jura under the procurement ID CASE/693109. The tender, which falls under the industry category of "Steering devices for invalid carriages," was intended to meet routine maintenance and statutory survey requirements by acquiring compatible and approved spare parts. Unfortunately, the procurement process was cancelled at the award stage. The project was supposed to utilise an open procedure within the UK, and the spare parts needed for this tender were originally supported by Neuver Marine as of 2025. The delivery location was to be at a yet undetermined refit yard, pending the awarding of the vessel's refit contract. This tender opportunity was significant as submissions were meant to be electronic through the Public Contracts Scotland platform, with measures in place to ensure timely delivery without last-minute issues.

This tender offered potential business growth opportunities for companies that specialise in maritime equipment, particularly those supplying mechanical and steering components for maritime vessels. Businesses with expertise in the provision of compatible parts for Rolls-royce Tenfjord steering gears, or those with the capacity to deliver high-quality components at competitive prices, would be well-positioned to compete. Although the process was cancelled, such opportunities highlight the importance of having the capability and readiness to supply critical safety systems, which is crucial for businesses striving to meet government procurement standards in the supply chain for marine vehicles.
