The procurement process was conducted using a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £19,600 GBP, was signed on November 6, 2023. The tender was part of the services category and was awarded due to a classification requiring the use of tugs while the vessel is in the harbor. The award notice can be viewed here. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses providing tug services within the marine industry in Aberdeen to compete and grow their operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in marine vessel assistance and harbor services would be well-suited to participate in this contracting process. Businesses meeting safety regulations and capable of providing tug services for vessels in Aberdeen Harbour have the potential to benefit from this awarded contract with the Scottish Government. ## Notice MPV Jura had the propulsion drive replaced in 2020. We have been having issues with this lately but recently the drive heat exchanger has failed. The classification organisation define how far out you can operate your vessel safely. Any alterations or failures on your vessel must be inspected by them to ensure compliance with safety regulations. In this case, we have raised the failure with them, they have surveyed this and issued a Condition of Class. This is the basis or pre-condition on which we can keep the vessel sailing by, which in this case requires tugs to be used when entering and leaving harbour. ### Lot Information Lot 1 MPV Jura had the propulsion drive replaced in 2020.
