Summary of the contracting process

Peterhead Port Authority sought professional services to manage and supervise construction of the Smith Quay Extension at Peterhead. The requirement covered a Project Manager and Supervising Engineer working under NEC4 professional services arrangements, for a marine construction project involving an 83-metre extension to the existing 120-metre quay, a mooring dolphin, 10,000 square metres of concrete-paved laydown areas, site infrastructure and quayside furniture. The service falls within construction project management services (CPV 71541000). The appointed consultant would coordinate and supervise delivery, including health, safety, quality and environmental compliance and compliance with marine licences. Design work had been developed by NIRAS, with early contractor input from McLaughlan & Harvey Limited through the SCAPE Scotland Utilities Framework Agreement.

The procurement was cancelled after the authority made significant changes to the Works Information. Its stated status was discontinued, and the award outcome was unsuccessful rather than a completed contract. The estimated professional services value was £750,000. Peterhead Port Authority used an open procedure, with electronic tender submission and a required electronic catalogue. The tender deadline was 29 June 2026 at 11:00, later amended to 13 July 2026 at 11:00; tenders were opened at 12:00 on the revised date. The planned service period was 840 days, with continuation if construction was delayed. Evaluation allocated 40% to price and 60% to quality: legal information, contract management, and references and additional information.

This requirement indicates demand from a port authority for integrated consultancy covering NEC4 project management and engineering supervision on a substantial marine construction scheme. Suppliers suited to a future requirement would need professionally qualified personnel with direct experience managing and supervising marine construction projects, including monitoring health, safety, quality and environmental compliance and marine-licence conditions. Credibility would also depend on externally audited management systems covering quality, safety and environmental performance, specifically ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001. The service model also required a cloud-based document management and collaboration system, named staff and qualifications, and the ability to deliver the wider obligations of an NEC4 Professional Service Contract.
