## Summary

The Northern Lighthouse Board is seeking to procure 24 generator sets for refurbishing lighthouses across Scotland. The tender, titled "Generator Sets for Lighthouses," falls under the goods category and is classified under the CPV code for generators. The open procurement method allows for broad participation, and the tender period is set to conclude on 19 May 2020. Successful suppliers must have personnel that are HUET certified, as installation requires helicopter transport for the generator sets, which have specific weight and size constraints for accessibility at the lighthouses. The contract period is expected to commence on 20 July 2020 and run until 31 March 2025.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in the manufacturing or supply of generator sets, particularly those that are SME-friendly. Companies with expertise in providing equipment for remote or challenging locations, particularly those with relevant certifications for safety and transport, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement can help expand a business's profile within the public sector, especially in the renewable energy or infrastructure domain.

## Notice

Generator sets required to support lighthouse operation. 24 generator sets required to refurbish lighthouses across Scotland. The first two lighthouses to be refurbished require the gensets to be installed and commissioned by the successful supplier. This requires supplier personnel to be HUET certified, as it is necessary to move the generator sets by helicopter. There are physical constraints for the gensets as they cannot be more than 500kgs in weight and no broader than 900mm, to allow access to lighthouses.
