Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Scottish Government, located at 5 Atlantic Quay, Glasgow, focuses on the strategic assessment of the Offshore Wind Programme. This contract falls under the services category, specifically auditing services, and was awarded as of 23rd January 2026. The procurement was conducted through a direct award method, meaning it was allocated to a single supplier without a competitive process. Quo Imus Limited, trading as Qi Consulting, was granted the contract, valued at £8,910. This award reflects the contract's current active status, aligning with the government's objective to enhance the offshore wind sector.

Given the nature of this contract, businesses specializing in strategic consultancy, renewable energy assessment, and auditing services would find this opportunity particularly advantageous. The focus on the Offshore Wind Programme suggests an ideal fit for those with expertise in energy sector strategy and evaluation. As the procurement method involved a direct award, businesses with established relationships and proven experience in this domain would have a competitive edge in future similar contracts. This presents substantial opportunities for consultancy firms aiming to leverage their expertise in the growing renewable energy market.
