## Summary

The Scottish Government has completed an award in its procurement process for a marine industry project in Edinburgh. The process involved supplying a modern, user-friendly Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) instrument, along with additional sensors for Dissolved Oxygen and Chlorophyll-a. The procurement, overseen by the Marine Directorate, falls under the goods category with specific interest in marine equipment. The award, issued on March 19th, 2026, follows a tender period that commenced on February 2nd, 2026. The selected supplier for this procurement is RS Aqua Ltd, based in Port Solent.

Opportunities for business growth emerge from the Scottish Government's need for innovative and high-quality marine instruments, which underscores potential collaborations with marine technology firms. Businesses specialising in marine equipment and instrumentation would be particularly well-suited to such projects, especially those with expertise in environmental fieldwork applications. The procurement method was a tender, marking a significant investment of £23,670, signalling potential for similar future tenders in marine equipment supply. Adapting to this sector not only opens avenues with public authorities but also caters to expanding marine scientific research initiatives.

## Notice
