## Summary

The Scottish Government conducted a public procurement process for the deployment and recovery of equipment for a marine mammal survey on the East coast of Scotland. This tender was initiated on 30 March 2018, under an open procurement method, and concluded with active contracts signed on 14 May 2018. The work involved the retrieval and deployment of moorings in or near the Moray Firth, requiring the use of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The procurement was categorised under services, with major operations scheduled for April, August, and November 2018.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in marine services, particularly those equipped with suitable vessels and certified crew. Companies involved in environmental surveying, marine biology, or maritime logistics would find themselves well-positioned to participate. With the Scottish Government as the contracting authority, suppliers that can demonstrate technical capability and compliance with stringent safety requirements will be competitive in this tender process.

## Notice
