## Summary

The Northern Lighthouse Board, based in Edinburgh, UK, has completed a tender process for acquiring Remote Terminal Units (RTU) for their SCADA system. The procurement falls under the goods category and has been cancelled. The title of the tender was "Remote Terminal Units (RTU)", and the main procurement category was telemetry equipment. The RTUs are intended to be used in a marine environment and must meet specific operational requirements, supporting various communication technologies. The awarded contract, valued at £200,000 GBP, was signed on 22nd June 2022.

This tender by the Northern Lighthouse Board offers business growth opportunities for suppliers of telemetry equipment suited for marine environments. Small or medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in industrial-grade RTUs compatible with SCADA systems could compete in similar future procurement processes. Despite the cancellation of this particular tender, businesses in the telemetry equipment sector can explore future opportunities with the Northern Lighthouse Board as they continue to seek suppliers for their technology needs.
