Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is inviting tenders for the purchase and installation of Inshore Vessel Monitoring Systems (I-VMS) on Scottish fishing vessels, under 12 metres long, as well as for related data collection services. This tender falls under the services category and is being managed by the Marine Directorate based in Aberdeen, Scotland (address: Marine Laboratory, 375 Victoria Road, Torry, AB11 9DB). The procurement process is at the tender stage, with the original submission deadline extended to 12:00 PM on 14th February 2025 due to website faults. The contract is scheduled to commence on 31st March 2025 and run until 31st March 2030.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in marine technology and data collection services. Companies with experience in installing monitoring systems in confined spaces without primary power supply and wheelhouse conditions are particularly well-suited to compete. The requirement for integrating sensors and/or cameras, along with an annual data plan to capture and transmit vessel geolocation information, offers a substantial market for technological and service innovations. The open procedure allows businesses of all sizes to participate, provided they meet the economic and technical selection criteria, such as a minimum yearly turnover of £250,000, appropriate insurance levels, and relevant experience in delivering similar services.
