Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government bought a framework agreement for GIS-compatible marine data and Marine Data as a Service (DaaS) for use across the Scottish public sector. The arrangement provides a pricelist from which authorised public-sector users can obtain marine data products and related services at agreed prices. The work covers marine data supplied in a form suitable for geographic information systems, together with the technical service needed to make raw data more usable and polished. Delivery is required across Scotland. This is a services procurement, classified under CPV 72300000 for data services, with marine-related GIS data as the specific subject. The Scottish Government is the buyer and central purchasing body.

The procurement is complete and was run as a single-lot open procedure using an accelerated timetable. Bids closed on 22 April 2026 at noon, and the framework contract period runs from 13 May 2026 to 12 May 2027. The estimated procurement value was £75,000; OceanWise Ltd was awarded the lot and the active contract was signed on 26 May 2026 for £78,505. The framework permits one participant. Evaluation covered quality, specifically understanding and delivery of requirements, weighted at 35, and price, weighted at 30; the SPD was assessed pass or fail. The buyer required English submissions, electronic responses and a 180-day bid validity period. A replacement framework may be set up in May 2027.

This award shows established Scottish public-sector demand for marine datasets that work with GIS systems, and for services that turn raw source data into more usable, polished products. A credible future supplier would need the technical capability, facilities, IT equipment and staff to deliver marine data and DaaS reliably across Scotland, with evidence from three relevant projects completed within the previous five years. Financial readiness is important: bidders needed specific annual turnover of at least £50,000 for each of the previous two years, a current ratio above 0.8, positive net profit and £1 million public liability insurance. Suppliers also needed ISO 9001 certification or an equivalent documented quality-management system, environmental controls and clear subcontracting arrangements.
