## Summary

The Scottish Government, acting through its Marine Directorate, has completed the award stage for the procurement titled "Award of Upgrade of Hydrographic Warps for MRV Scotia (MS-P-0475)." This project concerns the upgrade of critical hydrographic warps used on MRV Scotia, pivotal for various sampling and data collection activities. Classified under the industry category of "goods," specifically "Miscellaneous cordage, rope, twine and netting," the procurement was based in Aberdeen, Scotland. The award decision was made on 27th March 2026 valued at £25,050 and marks the culmination of a tender initiated to prevent failure during upcoming survey and assessment work. The primary contractor assigned is Jackson Trawls Ltd, located in Peterhead, Scotland.
