## Summary

The Scottish Ministers, through their Marine Directorate, have completed the procurement process for the maintenance and servicing of cranes on the MRV Scotia, a survey vessel used in scientific operations around and beyond Scotland. This procurement, classified under CPV code 50241100 (Vessel repair services), was conducted via an open procedure, and covered by the GPA. The tender process concluded with an award on 29th September 2025 to Hays Hydraulics & Mechanical Services Ltd, based in Aberdeen. The contract was signed on 23rd September 2025 with a final value of £214,586.35. The MRV Scotia operates out of Aberdeen harbour or a refit yard which was determined through a public tender process.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in marine and hydraulic engineering services. Businesses with a strong track record in maintaining marine equipment and those with a presence in the UK, specifically the region of Aberdeen, are well-positioned to compete for similar tenders. The emphasis in awarding the contract was on quality criteria such as delivery of requirements and staff competence, alongside price, making it a favourable opportunity for firms that can demonstrate high standards and comprehensive understanding of the technical requirements involved. Suppliers are advised to have a robust quality management system and financial stability to meet the turnover and insurance requirements specified.
