Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has initiated a procurement process under the "tender" stage, inviting bids for the supply of spare parts for the steering gear of the vessel MPV Jura. This contract falls under the industry category of "General public services" and targets the procurement of goods. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing for electronic submissions via the Public Contracts Scotland portal. Located in Aberdeen, the Marine Directorate of the Scottish Government oversees the project. Key dates include the tender submission deadline on 8th August 2025 at 12:00 PM, with the award period commencing shortly thereafter. The overall contract value is estimated at £65,000, focusing on delivering the components to a refit yard within the UK (exact location to be determined during a separate public tender process).

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing or supply of marine equipment, particularly those with experience in providing critical safety system components for maritime applications. Suppliers who can offer Rolls-Royce Tenfjord steering gear parts, or their equivalent, are highly encouraged to participate. Given that Neuver Marine currently supports the relevant steering gear units, firms with direct links or proven capabilities in sourcing and installing these specific components will find this contract advantageous. It is an excellent opportunity for businesses meeting the tender's economic and technical criteria, including a minimum turnover requirement and demonstrated relevant experience, to foster growth and potentially establish or enhance relationships with the Scottish Government.
