Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government sought a framework agreement for GIS-compatible marine data and marine data as a service (DaaS), classified as data services (CPV 72300000). The arrangement is intended for use across the Scottish public sector, allowing authorised users to draw down marine data products and related services at agreed prices. The work covers the provision of raw marine data in a more usable and polished solution, including information systems or technology strategic review and planning services (CPV 72222000). Delivery is required across Scotland. The Scottish Government is both the buyer and central purchasing body, with the Marine Directorate based in Aberdeen managing the requirement. The framework uses electronic ordering and payment.

The procurement has been awarded to OceanWise Ltd, an SME, and the contract is active. The Scottish Government awarded one framework place through an accelerated open procedure, with a maximum of one participant. The estimated procurement value was £75,000; the signed contract value is £78,505. The contract was signed on 26 May 2026 and runs from 13 May 2026 to 12 May 2027. The tender closed on 22 April 2026, with bids required in English and a 180-day validity period. Evaluation combined quality and price: quality covered understanding and delivery, staff competence, framework support, quality assurance, corporate and social responsibilities, and Fair Work First; price was also assessed. The process attracted one electronic bid, from an SME.

This requirement indicates demand for suppliers able to source, process and present marine data in GIS-compatible formats and provide a dependable data-as-a-service model for public-sector users. A credible competitor would need strong marine-data knowledge, GIS and information-technology capability, and the facilities, tools and technical equipment to deliver and support the service. The buyer expected three relevant examples from the previous five years, named and suitably qualified staff, and evidence of environmental management and any proposed subcontracting. Financial capacity included specific annual turnover of at least £50,000 in each of the previous two years, a current ratio above 0.8 and positive net profit. Suppliers also needed £1 million public liability insurance and ISO 9001 certification, or an equivalent documented quality-management system.
