Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the ministerial statement on Ferguson Marine on 16 May 2023, what costs were incurred as part of the due diligence process that determined “that the narrow value for money case has not been made” for vessel 802.
Answer
Details of all contracts relating to the provision of independent expertise to enable completion of due diligence upon the delivery of MV Glen Sannox and Hull 802 can be found via Public Contracts Scotland.
The assessment of the value for money case was one output from the overall due diligence work undertaken. We have not received the final invoices for the entirety of our due diligence work but estimate the total costs to be around £620,000.
