Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate bought gases for use on its vessels at sea and in its science laboratory. The requirement covers three areas: compressed industrial gases; compressed medical gases; and compressed research special gases and gas mixtures. The laboratory-related supplies are to be delivered in Aberdeen, while industrial gases are intended for use on vessels and in the laboratory. This is a goods procurement for gas products and mixtures supporting marine operations and scientific work. The buyer is the Scottish Government, acting through the Marine Directorate. The opportunity is relevant to gas manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers able to provide industrial, medical and research gases for both operational vessels and laboratory environments.

The procurement has been awarded and the three lots are complete, with active contracts signed on 8 June 2026. It was run as an open procedure and was a call-off from the APUC framework. BOC Limited (Quick Quotes) was awarded all three lots. Lot 1, compressed industrial gases, has a contract value of £300,000. Lot 2, compressed medical gases, has a contract value of £120,000. Lot 3, compressed research special gases and gas mixtures, has a contract value of £60,000. Each lot received one electronic bid. The reported award route was competitive within the framework call-off, with the requirement divided into separate industrial, medical and research gas lots.

This procurement indicates established demand from the Marine Directorate for a broad gas supply capability spanning industrial, medical and specialist research applications. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be able to provide compressed gases and gas mixtures reliably across different use cases, with suitable product controls for laboratory work and medical gases. They would also need distribution capacity serving Aberdeen and the practical ability to support vessels operating at sea as well as a fixed science laboratory. A credible competitor would therefore combine dependable supply, technical knowledge of gas specifications, safe handling and delivery arrangements, and the operational capacity to manage separate product categories under a structured framework call-off.
