Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement, located on the Isle of Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland, entails construction work to reconstruct the crucial ferry slipway. The project involves associated works such as land reclamation, marshalling and pedestrian areas, utility upgrades, and a terminal building. The tender was conducted using an open procedure and was classified under the works category, with a significant emphasis on quality (60%) and price (40%) in the award criteria. The contract was successfully awarded to George Leslie Ltd with a contract signature dated 10 November 2025. The total value of the contract amounts to £9,558,088. Bids were accepted until the last amended deadline of 6 August 2025.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in large-scale construction and civil engineering projects, particularly those with experience in coastal and harbour developments. Companies equipped with the capability to manage complex projects under tight quality and cost controls are well-positioned to thrive under such contracts. Furthermore, businesses interested in expanding their portfolios in public sector procurement and developing strong local relationships would benefit significantly. The project's nature and location underscore the need for robust logistical planning, thus favouring companies with experience in remote site operations and community engagement, as community benefits are integrated as a criterion in the tender assessment.
