Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, acting through its Marine Directorate, procured specialist maintenance and repair services for air circuit breakers and low-voltage switchboards on four vessels: MPV Hirta, MPV Jura, MPV Minna and MRV Scotia. The requirement covers annual health checks, planned maintenance, breakdown response, ad-hoc repairs, and the supply, fitting and assembly of replacement parts. The work supports the safe, reliable and efficient operation of the Marine Directorate fleet. Services are delivered at refit yards across the UK. This is an engineering and marine electrical maintenance service, classified under CPV 50241100, with related classifications covering repair and maintenance of ships and marine equipment.

The procurement has been awarded following a single-lot open procedure. The tender deadline and bid opening were 23 March 2026 at 12:00. Scottish Government awarded the contract to NJC Power Limited on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The contract is active and runs from 11 May 2026 to 10 May 2029. Its awarded value is £402,867.33, against an estimated procurement value of £600,000. Evaluation weighted delivery of requirements at 45 and price at 30; the SPD was assessed pass or fail. Two electronic bids were received. The requirement is identified as recurring, with a subsequent procurement noted for November 2028.

This award demonstrates a sustained requirement for specialist air circuit breaker and low-voltage switchboard maintenance across a public-sector vessel fleet, including both scheduled servicing and unplanned breakdown work. A credible future supplier would need marine electrical engineering capability, technicians and technical bodies with relevant expertise, suitable facilities, tools, plant and equipment, and the capacity to work at refit yards across the UK. Evidence of three relevant service examples from the previous five years is expected. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate environmental management measures, subcontracting arrangements and robust quality management, ideally through a UKAS or equivalent ISO 9001 certificate. Financial resilience, appropriate insurance and reliable operational resources would also be important.
