This tender falls under the services category and is being managed by the Marine Directorate based in Aberdeen, Scotland (address: Marine Laboratory, 375 Victoria Road, Torry, AB11 9DB). The procurement process is at the tender stage, with the original submission deadline extended to 12:00 PM on 14th February 2025 due to website faults. The contract is scheduled to commence on 31st March 2025 and run until 31st March 2030. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in marine technology and data collection services. Companies with experience in installing monitoring systems in confined spaces without primary power supply and wheelhouse conditions are particularly well-suited to compete. The requirement for integrating sensors and/or cameras, along with an annual data plan to capture and transmit vessel geolocation information, offers a substantial market for technological and service innovations. The open procedure allows businesses of all sizes to participate, provided they meet the economic and technical selection criteria, such as a minimum yearly turnover of £250,000, appropriate insurance levels, and relevant experience in delivering similar services. ## Notice 1.1 The Scottish Government, Marine Directorate invites tenders for a robust, proportionate and low-cost I-VMS solution, with capability to integrate sensors and/or cameras, to be installed on all Scottish under 12 metre fishing vessels, including vessels with a lack of space, primary power supply and/or wheelhouse. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Scottish Government, Marine Directorate invites tenders for a robust, proportionate and low-cost I-VMS solution, with capability to integrate sensors and/or cameras, to be installed on all Scottish under 12 metre fishing vessels, including vessels with a lack of space, primary power supply and/or wheelhouse. There are approximately 1,700 Scottish registered under 12 metre fishing vessels. Each device requires an annual data plan and must capture and record vessel geo spatial information, speed and course of travel. Positional reports generated by the I-VMS device must be transmitted using the mobile phone network e.g., GPRS/GSM, non-satellite communication services in accordance with national reporting requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB523774 | | Notice type | OJEU - F14 - Corrigendum | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 13 Feb 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM5 North Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | | Local authority | Aberdeen City | | Electoral ward | Torry/Ferryhill | | Westminster constituency | Aberdeen South | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 32330000 - Apparatus for sound, video-recording and reproduction - 51540000 - Installation services of special-purpose machinery and equipment - 72314000 - Data collection and collation services - 77700000 - Services incidental to fishing - 92222000 - Closed circuit television services ## Release History - 12 Feb 2025 at 00:00 - TenderUpdate - OJEU - F14 - Corrigendum - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB523774 - 14 Jan 2025 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN521687 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JAN521687&idx=6 5th February 2025 - Circular Advice Note dated 31 Jan 2025, Question 14 had an attachment which has been requested. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JAN521687&idx=5 5th February 2025 - Further questions and answers - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JAN521687&idx=4 31st January 2025 - Questions and answers - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JAN521687&idx=1 14th January 2025 - Invitation to Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JAN521687&idx=2 14th January 2025 - Appendix B - List of Ports - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JAN521687&idx=3 14th January 2025 - Schedule 14 - Terms and Conditions for Provision of Services (and associated Goods) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN521687 Purchase & Installation of Inshore Vessel Monitoring Systems (I-VMS) on Fishing Vessels and Data Collection Services - 1.1 The Scottish Government, Marine Directorate invites tenders for a robust, proportionate and low-cost I-VMS solution, with capability to integrate sensors and/or cameras, to be installed on all Scottish under 12 metre fishing vessels, including vessels with a lack of space, primary power supply and/or wheelhouse. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=787675 - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000787675 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ESPD/ESPD_Download.aspx?id=787675 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=538689 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
