PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate is buying replacement bearing shells and associated components for the Plummer block split-housing journal bearings on the MPV Jura’s main alternators. The requirement is intended to restore reliable operation and reduce the risk of future bearing failure. This is a marine engineering supply opportunity for firms able to provide compatible alternator bearing components, rather than a general vessel maintenance contract. The goods are to be delivered to Marine Directorate Deliveries at Units 14–16, Ocean Trade Centre, Minto Avenue, Altens, Aberdeen, AB12 3JZ. The procurement is classified under CPV 44440000 for bearing-related products, with associated classifications covering generators and marine equipment.

The process reached tender: the Scottish Ministers invited offers through a single-lot open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline and bid opening were 1 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award period began at that time. The contract is scheduled to run from 9 October 2026 to 26 February 2027. Its estimated value is £55,000. Bids had to remain valid for 180 days, be submitted in English and could not include variants. The Scottish Government will assess the SPD on a pass/fail basis, then score tender responses from 0 to 4 under the criteria in the Invitation to Tender. Economic requirements include specific annual turnover of £100,000 for each of the previous two years, public liability insurance of £250,000, a current ratio above 0.8 and positive net profit over the two-year cycle.

This opportunity suits bearing manufacturers, marine engineering suppliers and specialist industrial component distributors with experience supplying equipment for shipboard or comparable rotating machinery. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate three relevant examples from the last five years and show access to suitable technicians, facilities, technical bodies, tools, plant and equipment. They must provide supply-chain management or tracking arrangements, quality-control measures and environmental management measures, and explain any intended subcontracting. A UKAS- or equivalently accredited independent third-party certificate confirming BS EN ISO 9001 compliance is accepted; alternatively, suppliers need a documented, senior-authorised and regularly reviewed quality-management policy appropriate to the work. Staff names and qualifications must also be provided.
