In plain English

Scottish Government's Marine Directorate wants to buy replacement air circuit breakers, which are large electrical switches that protect equipment from overloads and faults. They are for the 660V and 415V switchboards on two ferries, MPV Jura and MPV Hirta, and the purchase also includes associated retrofit equipment. The estimated value is £150,000.

What the buyer wants

• Supply replacement air circuit breakers (ACBs) for the 660V and 415V switchboards on MPV Jura and MPV Hirta • Supply the associated retrofit equipment that goes with them • Tender for the supply through the Scottish Government's procurement process

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice names two specific vessels and particular switchboard voltages, so the equipment must match existing ship systems, which would likely rule out suppliers without marine electrical or switchgear experience; the notice does not state any other requirements.

Always check the tender documents.
