UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Oil and Pipelines Agency intends to procure works for the Kings Lines Strategic Fuel Hub in Gibraltar, under project OPA/T865. The scope covers structural steel erection services, tank construction and tank servicing, forming an engineering and construction package. The procurement is categorised as works and is subject to the defence and security regime. The buyer is a UK central government public authority based in Gosport. The contracting process identifies Gibraltar as the project location, while the delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom. Businesses should therefore assess their ability to work across the relevant jurisdictions and to support strategic fuel infrastructure. The package is presented as an engineering, fabrication, construction and maintenance requirement rather than a supply-only contract.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Oil and Pipelines Agency has announced an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The buyer expects to use an open procedure for a single planned lot. The estimated value is £90,000,000 excluding VAT, or £108,000,000 including VAT. The anticipated contract period is from 2 August 2027 to 31 August 2029. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 2 November 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a tender deadline. The planned contract is above the applicable threshold. The process is governed by the Procurement Act 2023 and is intended to use English. The tender title identifies an EPC requirement for the Gibraltar Kings Lines Strategic Fuel Hub.

When it reaches the market, this work is likely to suit contractors with substantial experience delivering engineering and construction projects for fuel, storage or other strategic infrastructure. Relevant capability will include structural steel erection, tank construction and tank servicing, together with the engineering, project management, site delivery and maintenance capacity needed to deliver an EPC package. The scale and strategic nature of the works point towards established contractors or consortia able to coordinate multiple technical disciplines and manage a major construction programme. Firms with defence and security sector experience may be well placed, because the procurement is subject to the defence and security regime. Specialist steelwork, tank and infrastructure contractors could also consider whether they can participate as delivery partners or subcontractors when the tender is launched.
