This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, civil engineering, and refurbishment projects to expand their portfolio within a public sector context. The project involves specialised tasks such as the fabrication of ladders and fender brackets, dismantling and replacing handrails and ladders, fixing repairs, and extensive decorative works, which would particularly suit SMEs with capabilities in these areas. Firms that can demonstrate strong project management skills and experience in maintaining operational navigation aids will have a competitive edge.
