Summary of the contracting process

Associated British Ports (ABP) is undertaking a tender process for the provision of operational temporary labour. The procurement is for various port and waterway operation services under the industry category "63721000 - Port and waterway operation services and associated services". The procurement process consists of two stages: the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) phase, which must be completed within 30 days, followed by the invitation to negotiate (ITN) phase commencing on 4th April 2025 for an additional 30 days. The opportunity is segmented into eight distinct lots, covering multiple regions including Humber, Soton, and NW & Scotland, each with specific roles and contract durations of 24 months with a possible extension of 12 months.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing temporary labour and port operation services. The selected suppliers will be the sole providers of labour requirements, excluding ABP staff labour, ensuring consistent and reliable work for the duration of the contracts. Businesses with expertise in stevedoring, border control, industrial administration, and cleaning, among others, will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. Moreover, the procurement method involving a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition favours companies that can demonstrate strong compliance and capability through the PQQ and ITN processes.
