Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government's Marine Directorate has initiated an open procurement process for the contract titled "Particle Motion Sensor," aimed at acquiring a high-precision particle motion sensor to support marine research activities. The contracting process, initiated in November 2023 and active as of December 2023, requires the contract to be signed by early 2024. The contract value is estimated at GBP 80,000, with submissions due by 20 December 2023. The procurement falls under the "goods" category within general public services and is located in the UKM (Scotland) region. The entire process, including bid submission, is conducted electronically via Public Contracts Scotland, ensuring transparency and efficiency.

Successful bidders stand to gain not just monetarily but also to establish long-term relationships with the Scottish Government, enhancing their portfolio and market credibility. Detailed attention to the technical and economic selection criteria, as well as adhering to submission deadlines, will be crucial for potential suppliers considering bidding for this contract.
