## Summary

The Scottish Government has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Technical Support Services for Tendering Design for Compliance and Science Vessels." This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on technical support services for maritime applications. The process, carried out through an open procedure, was initiated to develop a tendering design critical for procuring a new vessel. Although the status is now complete, the project entailed several stages of development including feasibility studies and regulatory assessments while being executed mainly in Edinburgh.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the maritime engineering and consultancy sectors, particularly those engaged in vessel design and technical supervision. Suppliers with expertise in areas such as fuel efficiency, hull design, and marine project management would be well-positioned to leverage this opportunity. Additionally, the project involved several discreet stages, indicating potential future tenders or extensions that companies can prepare for, especially those that align with sustainable and innovative marine solutions.

## Notice

Marine Scotland are intending to have a tendering design developed with a view to procuring a new vessel in the near future and as a result wish to develop a tendering technical specification and its associated plans for the new vessel which will be used as part of the tendering documents for the shipyards. The project will be split into a number of discreet stages, though an iterative approach to the project will be imperative, for example, as follows: A. Review and development of Statements of Requirement(s); B. Feasibility Study for fuel/powering arrangements; C. Conceptual GA (General Arrangement) drawing; D. Hull design and powering; E. Deck and equipment arrangement; F. Accommodation arrangements; G. Wheelhouse layout; H. Machinery arrangements; I. Displacement calculations; J. Lightship weight estimates; K. Stability calculations; L. Review; M. Resistance, power, sea keeping, environmental noise and maneuvering modelling; N. Development of full technical specification for design and build tender; O. Regulatory and Class assessment and check; P. Estimate of build costs; Q. Preparation of plans, drawings and documents for design and build tender; R. Assist with the evaluation of build bids, including yard visits; S. Design and drawing approval during design and build contract; T. Provision of supervisory staff throughout the build and trials stages at shipyard (working with Marine Scotland Staff).
