## Summary

The Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) is initiating a tender process for "The Supply of Mooring Components," primarily targeting companies within the goods industry, specifically related to chains. This procurement is based in Scotland and it falls under an open procedure methodology. The tender period is set to end on 26th November 2021, with the contract duration starting from 1st December 2021 and concluding on 29th April 2022. The total estimated value of the contract is £207,000, and the requirements are for various sizes of chain and associated mooring components to support NLB's floating aids-to-navigation systems across United Kingdom waters.
