## Notice

The Scottish Government, through Marine Scotland, invites tenders for a contract for the supply and installation of shock mitigating seating on our fleet of Pacific 24 RIBs as part of Marine Scotland's commitment to look after the wellbeing of their personnel.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Marine Scotland, a Directorate of the Scottish Government, require the supplier to replace existing seating on our four Pacific 24 RIBs with shock mitigating seating. This is required to ensure alignment with the legislative obligation (The Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Control of Vibration at Work) Regulations 2007 (SI 2007/3077) (the "Vibration Regulations"), Updated by Marine Guidance Note MGN 436 (M+F) Amendment 2 published September 2021 to reduce the impact of whole body vibration. The new seating is expected to separate the occupant from the worst effects of vibration and impact while operating away from the Marine protection vessel in open waters. Posture and stability of the spine are important for mitigating risk from shocks and impacts. The design of the seats should allow the occupants to maintain their postural stability at all times when operating in challenging conditions. This will lead to greater comfort in a seaway and help reduce the onset of fatigue, while reducing the risk of whiplash or other associated back and neck injuries.
