Appendix A: Supply Chain scoring system
| Criterion | Score | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Scottish supply track record | 1 | No Scottish capability |
| 2 | Scottish capability but only for a pilot project | |
| 3 | One Scottish-based supplier with capability to fulfil a commercial scale project | |
| 4 | Two or more Scottish-based suppliers with capability to fulfil a commercial scale project | |
| Market readiness for commercial scale projects | 1 | Existing capacity or investment plans are not in existence or are at an early stage |
| 2 | Companies have investment plans that are pending final investment decision that would enable them to supply a commercial scale project | |
| 3 | One company has either existing capacity or has made the final investment decision on an investment in new capacity that will enable it to supply a commercial scale project | |
| 4 | Two or more companies have existing capacity or have made the final investment decision on an investment in capacity that will enable them to supply a commercial scale project | |
| Availability of Scottish expertise in parallel sectors | 1 | Scotland has no significant industrial expertise |
| 2 | Scotland has relevant industrial expertise but is unlikely to be competitive in the offshore renewable energy sector | |
| 3 | Scotland has strong expertise in relevant parallel sectors but would require a shift in relevant company strategies to enter the offshore renewable energy market | |
| 4 | Scotland has world class expertise in sectors analogous to offshore renewable energy that can be readily exploited or is already applying significant expertise to the market | |
| Logic of Scottish supply | Scottish projects | |
| 1 | There is no significant logic for Scottish supply to Scottish projects | |
| 2 | There is a limited logic for Scottish supply to Scottish projects | |
| 3 | There is a good logic for Scottish supply to Scottish projects | |
| 4 | There is strong logic for Scottish supply to Scottish projects | |
| Overseas projects | ||
| 1 | There is strong logic for local supply to overseas projects, leaving little room for Scottish suppliers to compete | |
| 2 | There is good logic for local supply to overseas projects | |
| 3 | There is limited logic for local supply to overseas projects | |
| 4 | There is no logic for local supply to overseas projects, leaving significant room for Scottish suppliers to compete | |
| Scottish investment risk | 1 | Investments in Scotland can only be made with long-term confidence in the market and with public sector financial support |

| 3 | Investment in Scotland can be triggered by framework contracts or two or more commercial scale orders | |
| 4 | Investment in Scotland is not needed or can be made with a single commercial scale order in the market | |
| Size of the opportunity | 1 | Likely Scottish opportunity is <0.1% of lifetime expenditure at current prices |
| 2 | Likely Scottish opportunity is 0.1% to <0.5% of lifetime expenditure at current prices | |
| 3 | Likely Scottish opportunity is 0.5% to <1% of lifetime expenditure at current prices | |
| 4 | Likely Scottish opportunity is ≥1% of lifetime expenditure at current prices | |
