Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed a procurement process for the tender titled "Access to Offshore Digital Television," aimed at providing digital television access on Marine Scotland's five vessels operating offshore. This procurement, categorised under services, utilised a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition due to unique technical requirements. The contract, valued at £225,000, was signed on 1 January 2022. The delivery will take place within Scottish waters and extends beyond the 200-mile limit. The tender process is now at the Award stage, having attracted interest from a single supplier, Sky Offshore, which secured the contract.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in marine telecommunications and entertainment services, particularly those adept at providing technical services in challenging environments. Both large suppliers and niche firms that specialise in portable digital communication solutions could find potential for growth through such contracts, especially given the unique operational circumstances faced by Marine Scotland's vessels. The specific needs identified by the Scottish Government also indicate potential for innovation in service delivery, which can benefit companies seeking to expand their offerings in the field.
