This procurement falls under the 'goods' category, with a specific focus on satellite antennas as outlined in CPV classification 32324310. Located in Aberdeen, the Marine Laboratory serves as the base for this procurement activity. On 26th February 2026, the award was made to Echomaster Marine Limited, based in Macduff, for an amount of 21,224.52 GBP.

Firms capable of accommodating the dynamic requirements of nautical environments, ensuring robust and reliable signal reception even on moving platforms, would find these opportunities promising. Echomaster Marine Limited’s successful bid highlights that businesses proficient in compatibility with existing maritime systems are well-suited to compete in such contracts.
