Summary of the contracting process

The recent public procurement process overseen by the Scottish Government, with its headquarters located at 4 Atlantic Quay, Glasgow, has successfully reached the award stage for the project titled "Exploring How Communities Experience the Social and Economic Impacts of Offshore Wind Development in Scotland." This contract falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on general public services and related to offshore wind developments, indicated by CPV classification 73110000. The procurement process followed an open procedure, initiating on 18th February 2025 and concluding with a contract signed with AECOM on 4th June 2025. The project primarily aims to study the impacts of offshore wind developments across the UKM region, directly contributing to the energy transition agenda by the Scottish Government.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those capable of delivering research and consultancy services within the renewable energy sector. Companies specializing in environmental studies, socioeconomic research, or engaged in the offshore wind industry supply chain could find this type of contract beneficial for business expansion. Large-scale enterprises like AECOM have already tapped into this opportunity, reflecting the suitability for well-established firms with the capacity to handle complex projects. Nonetheless, the tender process attracted a variety of bids, including significant participation from SMEs, indicating potential openings for smaller firms willing to collaborate or offer niche services within the broader project scope.
