Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the Scottish Government involved the tendering of marine acoustic cetacean click detectors. The tender, under the classification of marine equipment, was part of an open procedure to acquire goods for the purpose of long-term static monitoring of marine mammals. Based in Edinburgh, the procurement falls within the United Kingdom’s UKM region and was covered by the GPA. The process saw its tender period conclude on 6th November 2025, with an award being made on the 27th of November 2025. The award was for a contract valued at £98,000, assigned to Chelonia Limited. The tender stage had reached completion with the award and contract stages closed or substantially advanced.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for suppliers specialising in marine equipment, specifically those with capabilities in acoustic and monitoring technologies. Companies with a focus on innovative technologies and services, along with strong technical expertise in marine environments, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. The procurement process encouraged submissions from businesses with a sound understanding and delivery of specific requirements, robust contract management capability, and a dedication to corporate social responsibility. Given the technical and quality management demands, firms also needed a strong background in handling relevant marine projects, ensuring numerous opportunities for well-suited businesses to showcase their capabilities and potentially grow within the public procurement market.
