Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is seeking bids for the procurement of an oceanography buoy with a telemetry system, intended for use by scientific staff from Marine Scotland based in Aberdeen. This open tender process is currently in the award stage, with the contract signed on 15 September 2021 for a total value of £63,602.33. The award notice was published on 9 February 2022, detailing the need for the equipment to ensure comprehensive data collection, which has previously been hindered by other provisional methods that did not allow for real-time data transfer.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in marine technology, instrumentation, and telemetry systems. Companies with experience in supplying scientific equipment or those possessing technical capabilities to deliver innovative marine solutions would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Notably, SMEs in the goods sector may find advantageous grounds for collaboration or partnership in response to such government contracts orchestrated by the Scottish Government.
