The framework has been completed, and the award was made in April 2026, with the contract value amounting to £15,600,000.

Businesses with strong capabilities in executing engineering projects at operational ferry terminals and harbours, and with experience in NEC4 Engineering & Construction Contracts, are well-positioned to compete. The scope of work includes pre-construction support, site inspections, environmental management, and the engineering and construction of marine works, thus providing substantial prospects for firms with a robust supply chain and the ability to manage complex, large-scale projects. The emphasis on community benefits and environmental standards further presents the potential for businesses to contribute positively to local areas, enhancing their corporate social responsibility profile.
