This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, through its Marine Directorate, has awarded a contract titled "Charter for PrePared Mooring Service" under the industry categories of general public services and environmental protection. This procurement process, which has now reached the award stage, involved an open procedure for the maintenance of acoustic listening stations off the east coast of Scotland, particularly around the Beatrice and Moray East Windfarms. The contract, valued at GBP 41,380.8, was signed on 23rd August 2024, and covers services required to facilitate effective monitoring of marine life. The procurement process started on 5th August 2024, with submissions closing on 14th August 2024, and the work is expected to be completed by the end of August 2024. The project location is in the Marine Laboratory, Victoria Road, Aberdeen, with deliveries at various locations on the east coast of Scotland.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the marine services industry, particularly those with expertise in vessel operations and the use of Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in underwater recovery and deployment services would find this contract particularly suitable, as the operation involves retrieving and deploying moorings using properly equipped vessels. The need for vessels to carry cranes and other deployment equipment indicates a niche market that specialist maritime service providers can exploit, allowing them to leverage their technical capabilities and enhance their service portfolio through public procurement contracts like this one.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Scottish Ministers through the Marine Directorate (MD) invites tenders from suitable vessels to undertake servicing of acoustic listening stations in two areas, firstly off the east coast of Scotland, around the Beatrice and Moray East Windfarms and secondly further afield on the East coast should time allow. The MD deploys moorings to enable effective monitoring of migratory fish and marine mammals. These moorings extend no more than 5 meters from the sea bed, have no surface buoy and are normally recovered these via an acoustic release mechanism. On occasion this fails and there is a need to recover the unit via an ROV operated from the vessel. Approximately 16 Moorings require recovery with a Remote Operated Vehicle ROV (separate tender) and replacement units require deployed in 4 locations. Moorings are approximately 100 kgs. Total vessel time require will be up to 9 days. Vessels should be at least 10 meters in length, with a crane, suitably rated and a-frame or similar for deployments.
