## Summary

The Scottish Government, through its Marine Directorate, has completed a procurement process for the purchase and installation of a remote electronic monitoring device on a fishing vessel, specifically the FV Viora LK177, which operates out of Lerwick, Shetland. The procurement process involved a limited tender method, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the supplier being the sole agent of the manufacturer for the required equipment. The procurement falls under the industry category of general public services and is classified as a service procurement. The key dates included the contract signing on 2nd February 2026, with an award notice published on 13th February 2026. The contract was awarded to Woodsons of Aberdeen Ltd, an SME based in Aberdeen.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in marine electronics, particularly those capable of providing niche monitoring systems. As the procurement was awarded without competition, businesses that can establish themselves as sole agents or experts in specific marine technologies may find potential for growth through similar contracts. Companies interested in such government projects should aspire to supply unique technological solutions that require specialised expertise, thereby minimising competition. This case highlights the importance for businesses to develop distinct capabilities or maintain exclusive distribution rights to enhance their chance to win government contracts.
