This procurement, classified under the 'Closed circuit television services' CPV code 92222000, focuses on providing a robust, proportionate, and low-cost I-VMS solution capable of integrating sensors and cameras. The project targets approximately 1,700 Scottish under 12-metre fishing vessels, including those with limited space and power supply. The tender, currently in the 'active' stage, has a contract period from 31 March 2025 to 31 March 2030. Key deadlines include a recent amendment that extends the submission deadline to 14 February 2025 due to intermittent faults on the Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) website. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in marine equipment, sensor integration, and data services. Companies with experience in closed circuit television services, installation of special-purpose machinery, and data collection are well-suited to compete. The contract's requirements for detailed project management, risk assessment, and environmental measures make it an ideal opportunity for businesses with strong technical capabilities and a commitment to quality management practices. With a contract value of £1,000,000 and a five-year period, suppliers can leverage this opportunity to establish a long-term collaboration with the Scottish Government and enhance their portfolio in the public sector. ## Notice 1.1 The Scottish Government, Marine Directorate invites tenders for a robust, proportionate and low-cost I-VMS solution, with capability to integrate sensors and/or cameras, to be installed on all Scottish under 12 metre fishing vessels, including vessels with a lack of space, primary power supply and/or wheelhouse. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Scottish Government, Marine Directorate invites tenders for a robust, proportionate and low-cost I-VMS solution, with capability to integrate sensors and/or cameras, to be installed on all Scottish under 12 metre fishing vessels, including vessels with a lack of space, primary power supply and/or wheelhouse.
