## Summary

The Scottish Government has recently completed a procurement process for the title "Quality Accreditation" under the services category. This initiative aims to ensure appropriate quality assurance for Marine Scotland's scientific procedures, with an estimated contract value of £112,000. The procurement was officially signed on 1st March 2022, and the work will be conducted at the Marine Laboratory in Aberdeen and the Freshwater Laboratory in Pitlochry. The process involved the submission of bids, with one bid recorded, and it was open to suppliers from both the UK and non-EU countries.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in quality assurance and accreditation services, particularly those with expertise in scientific procedures or marine environments. Companies interested in similar contracts could benefit significantly from engaging with public procurement, as the experience gained can enhance credibility and market reach. Large suppliers like UKAS, which secured the contract, exemplify the type of business that can thrive in this sector, although smaller firms with innovative solutions in the relevant fields are encouraged to explore future tenders.
