The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, within the 'goods' category, and is part of the government's commitment to meeting health and safety requirements. The process culminated in a contract signed on 9th July 2024 with Northern Marine Power Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Stockport. The total contract value is £790,148.16. The boats will be used for operation with the Marine Protection Vessel, Jura, ensuring compliance with operational and safety standards. The location associated with the contract is primarily within the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the Scottish region (UKM). This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of marine vessels and related goods to engage with public sector requirements, fostering growth opportunities through substantial contracts. Northern Marine Power Ltd's successful bid highlights the potential for SMEs to effectively compete for government contracts, particularly those with capabilities in producing high-standard marine vessels. Suppliers with expertise in maritime equipment manufacturing, along with experience in adhering to stringent regulatory and performance criteria, would be well-suited to similar future opportunities. ## Notice The Scottish Government, through Marine Directorate, invites tenders for a contract for the two new Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) as part of Marine Directorate's commitment to meeting health and safety requirements. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The contract seeks to deliver two replacement boarding boats launch / recoverable from its Marine Protection Vessel, Jura, an 84m offshore marine patrol vessel of 2182 gross tonnes.
