Naval Architecture Support for Vessels Replacement Project
The submission route named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Engineering & Architecture — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 33,646 valued Engineering & Architecture tenders in our corpus.
Scottish Government has published 24 Engineering & Architecture notices, about every 3 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around November 2026.
56% of Scottish Government’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
