Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) focuses on the SVRP Civils & Marine Works Framework to support the Small Vessel Replacement Programme projects in Scotland. The process is currently in the planning stage, with the tender framework anticipated to be published in the week commencing 5th January 2025, and bid responses are expected by 20th February 2026. CMAL, a utility company governed by public law, aims to appoint a single supplier for construction works involving dredging, berthing structure, marshalling area extension, slipway widening, and shore power civils infrastructure. The procurement covers several locations, including Colintraive, Portavadie, Largs, Tarbert, Tobermory, Kilchoan and Lochaline all situated in various regions of Argyll and Morvern, Scotland.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, engineering design services, and environmental engineering consultancy, as well as providers of construction machinery and quantity surveying services for civil engineering works. Firms with expertise in marine infrastructure and related technical disciplines will find potential growth opportunities by engaging in preconstruction support activities, collaborating with designers and electrical integrators, and contributing to the development of construction methodologies. Participation in this framework can enhance business visibility and establish long-term relationships with CMAL, a key player in Scotland’s transport infrastructure sector, and positions them strategically within the government procurement market.
