Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate procured a service to establish and run a trial collection hub for end-of-life fishing and aquaculture gear. The hub is to receive gear free of charge and provide the full pre-processing service: receipt, cleaning, drying, dismantling and sorting before recycling. The work is delivered at the supplier’s premises, serving users bringing in marine gear for recovery. This is a specialist waste-preparation and recycling-support service, rather than the manufacture or final recycling of equipment. The requirement is classified under CPV 34930000, covering marine equipment, and CPV 98361000, covering marine-related services. The Scottish Government acted as the buyer and central purchasing body.

The procurement is complete and was run as a single-lot open procedure. The contract was awarded to W & J Knox Ltd on 9 July 2026, with a contract value of £488,880 including the stated currency, and it was signed on 4 August 2026. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 February 2027. Evaluation covered quality and price, with the published criteria describing 25% for understanding and delivery of requirements and 30% for price. Bidders could submit variants, and electronic payment and ordering apply. The award followed one bid, which was submitted electronically. The original estimated procurement value was £489,000.

This requirement indicates demand for a supplier able to operate a practical marine-waste collection and pre-processing facility, with capacity to receive, clean, dry, dismantle and sort mixed fishing and aquaculture gear. A credible future competitor would need suitable premises, plant, tools and technical equipment, together with quality controls, environmental management measures and supply-chain or material-tracking systems. The buyer expected three relevant examples from the previous five years and evidence that staff capability could support delivery, including staff names and qualifications. Suppliers also needed a UKAS- or equivalently accredited ISO 9001 certificate, or a documented senior-approved quality-management system, alongside appropriate insurance, financial resilience and clear arrangements for any subcontracting.
