Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), located in Holytown, UK, has awarded a contract for "Sea Lice Monitoring" under the industry category of environmental protection. The procurement process completed on 17th July 2025, followed an open procedure, and focuses primarily on service delivery within the UKM region. The awarded contract, valued at £61,610.08, was signed on 9th June 2025 with Fisheries Management Scotland as the supplier. This contracting process was initially advertised with a tender period ending on 5th March 2025 and demonstrates SEPA's ongoing commitment to maintaining environmental standards through public procurement.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those with capabilities in sea lice and aquatic monitoring. While Fisheries Management Scotland, an SME based in Edinburgh, has been successful in securing the contract, similar businesses with expertise in providing scientific or environmental consultancy services could find future prospects in participating in tenders of this nature. The open procedure adopted by SEPA suggests a level playing field for qualified suppliers, encouraging competition and innovation in bidding for public sector opportunities.
