## Summary

The Scottish Government's Marine Directorate has completed a procurement process to acquire a licence for holding consented personal data, with the contract awarded to GB Group plc.

The process covered information across Scotland (UKM region) and pursued under the General Public Services classification. The award was announced on 31 March 2025, with the contracting process reaching its final stages on 29 May 2025. The central purchasing unit was based in Aberdeen, and the designated address is Marine Directorate, Marine Laboratory, 375 Victoria Road, Torry, Aberdeen AB11 9DB, managed by contact point Bob McLeod.

With a value of GBP 5,980, the contract offers a foothold in governmental data projects, providing expertise on scalable solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like GB Group plc can particularly benefit, as evidenced by their successful tender.
