Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is overseeing a procurement process for the refit of its Marine Protection Vessels (MPV) Jura, Minna, and Hirta, under the Marine Directorate. The process follows an open procedure, targeting services within the general public services industry category, and is part of an ongoing contract that will see multiple dry dock and wet dock refits over a span of three years. The location for the refits is determined by the successful bidder's shipyard within the UK. The invitation to tender was active in May 2025, with a deadline for submissions on 18th June 2025. The contract was successfully awarded to Dunston (Ship Repairs) Ltd, with the contract signed on 28th August 2025 for an amount of £1,807,201.48, highlighting engagement at the award stage as of September 2025.

This significant tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the ship repair and refitting industry, with requirements expected to lead to long-term partnerships and potential subsequent projects. Enterprises that can provide extensive shipyard facilities and seasoned technical expertise in ship refitting are well-positioned to benefit from such agreements, making this an attractive venture for companies with demonstrated competency in handling similar complex maritime projects. Participation not only offers financial growth but the possibility to enhance industry reputation through association with the Scottish Ministers, a high-profile public body.
