Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process concerns a comprehensive contract for the detailed design and construction of seven vehicle and passenger-carrying ferries, overseen by Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL), situated in Port Glasgow, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category, specifically targeting the ships and boats industry. The procurement was conducted through a selective method via a restricted procedure, adhering to the legal framework of Directive 2014/24/EU. The contract has been awarded to Remontowa Shipbuilding S.A., with a value of £147,540,000, and was signed on 28th March 2025. The procurement process commenced with tendering proposals in mid-2024 and has moved through completion with active contract status. The location for the delivery of goods is within the region specified as UKM.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the maritime construction industry, especially those with capabilities in ship design and building large ferry vessels. Suitable businesses will benefit from engaging in a contract of high financial value and working with a reputable organisation like CMAL. Furthermore, suppliers with the capacity to support community development through initiatives and an established track record in designing and building similar vessels will be well-suited to compete in this market.
