Summary of the contracting process

Associated British Ports (ABP) is currently active in the procurement stage for the "Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) for the Group Ports" contract. This procurement process involves a selective, competitive flexible procedure that will first require interested suppliers to submit a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) by 25th April 2025. The procurement value is estimated at £8,000,000, and the industry categories relevant to this tender include construction structures and materials, electrical machinery, tools and fasteners, and machinery for mechanical power. This procurement covers locations across the United Kingdom, with the contract period anticipated to start on 28th July 2025 and potentially extend up to 27th July 2029, depending on renewal options. The initial PSQ stage will be followed by Invitation to Tender (ITT) and Best and Final Offer (BAFO) stages.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul sector, particularly those capable of offering comprehensive solutions involving construction materials, electrical equipment, tools, and machinery. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are specifically encouraged to participate. The evaluation will consider Total Value Offering, assessing both cost and non-cost factors like quality, lifecycle costs, sustainability, reliability, and innovation. This presents an excellent growth opportunity for businesses to showcase their holistic value, innovative capabilities, and alignment with ABP's strategic goals. Engaging in this contract can lead to long-term collaborations with the largest port operator in the UK, fostering significant business expansion and exposure.
