Businesses interested in this opportunity should consider the specific requirements outlined in the tender documentation.

Procurement Information

The Contracting Authority is awarding the procurement under Regulation 6 of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016. (c)where (but only if it is strictly necessary) for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the authority considers it must proceed to award a contract without delay. The requester has confirmed that the equipment is to support the delivery of the Scottish Government Marine Fund after the initially contracted supplier went into administration and the fulfilment of the contract could not take place. Due to the company's liquidation, the department has to procure the funded equipment as a matter of urgency to meet the extended grant deadlines. This meets the requirements of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016 6 (1) c.
