This open procedure tender fell under the services category, with a specific focus on marine repair (CPV codes: 50240000 and 50000000). The contracting process went through several stages, concluding with the awarding of the contract, which was signed on 18th February 2025. The procurement was managed out of the Marine Directorate located in Aberdeen, with key figures such as Bob McLeod involved in the contact point for the buyer's side. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses within the maritime repair and services industry, particularly those experienced with large vessel refurbishment and capacity to perform detailed marine engineering tasks.
