Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate purchased mechanical and other spare parts for the windlass on its vessel MPV Hirta. The requirement is for marine equipment suppliers able to supply windlass spares for a government-operated vessel. The buying organisation is the Scottish Government, with the Marine Directorate responsible for the requirement. The procurement is for goods rather than maintenance or vessel operations; the described scope is limited to the windlass spares for MPV Hirta.

The procurement has been awarded. Gemmell & Prout Marine Limited was selected as supplier, with an award value of £23,242. The associated contract is recorded as active. The process was a quick quote, and one bid was recorded. The award information does not state an award date or contract period, so there is no published timing for when this requirement was contracted or how long the contract runs. No lots or evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from the Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate for windlass spares for MPV Hirta. Suppliers with access to marine windlass parts and the capability to source and supply mechanical and miscellaneous spares for a government vessel are the closest fit if this specific requirement returns to market. The selection of a marine supplier indicates the relevance of experience supplying vessel equipment, although the procurement does not set out formal accreditation, technical qualification or capacity requirements. The recorded competition attracted one bid, suggesting that suppliers already connected to the marine spares market may be well placed to respond when this buyer next seeks these parts.
