Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contracting authority, CalMac Ferries Limited, is currently in the tender stage of its procurement process for a "Framework Agreement for the Provision of Temporary Seagoing Staff". This opportunity falls under the services industry category, specifically recruitment services. The procurement method employed is a selective competitive procedure with negotiation, and it is strategically significant with a framework period of up to five years. The framework aims to shortlist a maximum of three qualified suppliers for delivering temporary maritime staff. Interested parties must make electronic submissions by 1 August 2025, with the invitation expected on 15 August 2025. The completion of the current framework could see it retendered, ensuring a continued supply of skilled staff. The project is located in the United Kingdom region of UKM, and it defines critical dates, such as the bid validity stretching to 31 December 2025.

This procurement offers substantial business growth potential, especially for organisations within the maritime recruitment and services sector. It is best suited for businesses possessing robust technical and quality expertise combined with competitively priced offerings, due to the 70% emphasis on price in the award criteria. The framework also presents recurring business opportunities with a potential extension up to two additional years post the initial three-year contract period, thus allowing sustained engagement. Additionally, operators with strategic capabilities in managing frameworks and delivering within defined financial and insurance requirements could find this tender particularly lucrative. Companies interested should ensure they meet the financial and insurance prerequisites, including a strong capital employed ratio and liability insurances, making it fitting for well-established enterprises with a focus on providing temporary staffing solutions.
