Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is currently undertaking a public procurement process titled the "Scottish Marine Animal Strandings Scheme," which is classified under the services industry. This tender, initiated via an open procurement method, aims to provide a coordinated approach to the surveillance of marine wildlife strandings and assess the causes of death in Scotland. The project was officially awarded on the 12th of April 2021 with a total contract value of £800,000. It was previously open for tender submissions until the 11th of February 2021, and the work covers delivery locations across Scotland.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in marine conservation, wildlife management, and related research services. Companies with experience in ecological studies, veterinary science, or environmental monitoring would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, businesses capable of demonstrating compliance with specific technical and financial criteria, such as a yearly turnover of £800,000 and relevant insurance, will have advantageous positions. The ongoing nature of the project, with a potential for contract renewal until March 2026, further enhances opportunities for sustained engagement and business growth in this sector.
