Lot Information
Lot 1
Orkney Islands Council (OIC) is developing the Orkney Community Windfarm projects (the projects), comprising three windfarms in the Orkney Islands, each comprised of up to 6 Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) and a maximum export capacity of up to 30MW. This means a total installed capacity for the cluster of projects of up to 90MW. The windfarms are located on three islands one in Quanterness, located on Mainland (Northwest of Kirkwall), with the other sites located on the islands of Hoy and Faray respectively. The projects have all obtained planning consent and two (Quanterness and Hoy) were successful in auction round 4 of the Contracts for Difference allocation, under "Remote Island Wind". This procurement is for the design, supply, transportation, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of up to 18 No. WTGs. OIC anticipates that the successful bidder will enter into the following contracts: three turbine supply agreements (TSA) (one for each project, covering the design, supply, transportation, installation and commissioning of the WTGs) and three full service agreements (FSA) (one for each project covering the operation and maintenance of the WTGs). OIC may choose to enter into TSAs and FSAs for Quanterness and Hoy only first with an option to enter into a further TSA and FSA for Faray at a later date.
Options: Option to extend the Full Service Agreement up to the maximum duration stated at II.2.7
Renewal: Maximum renewal for FSA will be 25 years from date of commencement of FSA contract.

"description": "Orkney Islands Council reserves the right to cancel the procurement at any stage and not award a Contract. The expenditure, work or effort undertaken by bidders prior to the award of any Contract is accordingly a matter solely for the commercial judgement of bidders. All questions are to be submitted via the Questions and Answers section of this contract advertisement on PCS. An economic operator that suffers, or risks suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court of Court of Session.18. Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 All information submitted to the Authority may need to be disclosed or published by the Authority. Without prejudice to the foregoing generality, the Authority may disclose information in compliance with the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, (the decisions of the Authority in the interpretation thereof shall be final and conclusive in any dispute, difference or question arising in respect of disclosure under its terms), any other law, or, as a consequence of judicial order, or order by any court or tribunal with the authority to order disclosure. Accordingly, if you consider that any of the information included in your SPD submission or Invitation to Tender is commercially confidential please identify it and explain (in broad terms) what harm might result from disclosure. It should be remembered though, that, even where you have indicated that information is commercially sensitive, the Authority may disclose this information where it sees fit. Receipt by the Authority of any material marked \"confidential\" or equivalent should not be taken to mean that the Authority accepts any duty of confidence by virtue of that marking. Please note that the Contract Award Value noted above relates to the Quanterness site for six turbines only and includes both the TSA and MSA elements of the contract awarded. Contract duration of 28 years is based on a turbine supply agreement (TSA) / construction period of 3 years and a 25 year maintenance agreement (MSA). The contract has been awarded with the option for Faray and Hoy to be taken up at a later date subject to further investment decisions. Award notices for these sites will be released as and when these options are taken up in the future. (SC Ref:804864)",
