Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Ministers, through the Marine Directorate, procured specialist marine electrical maintenance services for four vessels: MPV Hirta, MPV Jura, MPV Minna and MRV Scotia. The requirement covers maintenance of air circuit breakers, annual health checks for low-voltage switchboards, and unplanned repairs following breakdowns. It includes supplying, fitting and assembling replacement parts, with work carried out on board the vessels and at refit yards across the UK. The purpose is to maintain the Marine Directorate fleet’s equipment, operational reliability and performance. This is a services contract focused on ship repair, maintenance and associated marine equipment services. The buyer is the Scottish Government, with the Marine Directorate responsible for the operational requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used an open procedure, with submissions due by 23 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC and bids opened at the same time in Aberdeen. The estimated procurement value was £600,000. NJC Power Limited was awarded the requirement, with a contract value of £402,867.33; the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The contract period runs from 11 May 2026 to 10 May 2029. Evaluation covered delivery of requirements, staff competence and experience, contract management, corporate and social responsibility, Fair Work First, and price. The lot is recorded as cancelled, while the related award and contract are active. The requirement is identified as recurring in November 2028.

This procurement indicates demand for suppliers able to maintain and repair air circuit breakers and low-voltage switchboards on marine vessels, including planned servicing, breakdown response and replacement-parts installation. Credible competitors would need appropriately qualified technicians, named staff and sufficient staffing resources, technical facilities, tools, plant and equipment to support vessel and refit-yard work across the UK. The buyer required three relevant examples from the previous five years, plus evidence of environmental management and subcontracting arrangements. Suppliers also needed robust quality-management procedures, demonstrated either through UKAS or equivalent third-party certification to ISO 9001 or through an approved documented quality policy. Financial resilience, suitable insurance and the ability to manage electronic ordering and payment would also support competitiveness when this requirement next returns.
