Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, acting as the buying organisation in this public procurement process, recently completed the procurement stage for a contract titled "Arranging Express Delivery of Components." The industry category is within the general public services, specifically focusing on goods related to components delivery. The procurement was crucial for ensuring vessel readiness after refit, with the delivery location specified at the refit yard in Hull, UK. This procurement was carried out under a limited method due to extreme urgency, as the requirements became apparent only when the vessel was being refitted. The contract was awarded on 26th January 2026 to Dunston (Ship Repairs) Ltd for a total value of £3,935.62, and it involved an expedited procedure without prior publication due to unforeseen circumstances.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in logistics, particularly those capable of meeting strict deadlines and handling urgent delivery requests. Companies equipped to deal with high-pressure scenarios, such as those that can swiftly provide transportation and import/export services, would find this type of contract advantageous for growth. As Dunston (Ship Repairs) Ltd is a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) and successfully secured the contract, this demonstrates the potential for similarly scaled businesses to participate and compete in such procurement opportunities, especially if they have the infrastructure to handle urgent delivery requirements at strategic locations like refit yards.
