## Summary

The Scottish Government has initiated a procurement process for the refit of the Marine Research Vessel (MRV) Alba na Mara under tender ID CASE/324297. The scope of work includes refitting over a three-year period in April 2024, February 2025, and 2026, with the possibility of unplanned emergency maintenance during the contract period. This open procedure targets suppliers with relevant experience and the ability to meet technical and quality standards, focusing on general public services with a budget of £300,000. The project requires services to be rendered at the supplier's yard within the UK, with tender submissions to be completed electronically by 12:00 PM on 11 December 2023, and the contract scheduled to commence on 22 January 2024.

This tender provides an excellent growth opportunity for businesses specialised in marine vessel maintenance and refits, particularly those with a strong track record in managing multi-year service contracts. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with established technical facilities and quality management systems stand to benefit greatly from participating in this tender. The comprehensive nature of the refit, combined with the potential for emergency maintenance, can offer steady workflow and reinforce a company's reputation in the marine services industry. Bidders must be prepared to demonstrate sufficient economic and technical standing, including implementing environmental management measures and holding relevant insurance and certifications.
