Summary of the contracting process

The Oil and Pipelines Agency intends to procure design services for marine construction works at the South Jetty Head of Gosport Jetty. The scope is described as engineering and construction works design, with engineering services as the stated classification. The work is associated with the Agency’s jetty asset management programme and is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a central government public authority procurement in the defence and security sector. It will suit organisations providing engineering design for marine infrastructure, particularly firms able to develop designs for jetty or waterfront construction projects. The requirement concerns professional services rather than the direct supply of construction materials or the delivery of completed construction works.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, for a single planned lot. The estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2028. The buyer expects the next procurement notice to be published on 1 March 2027. The requirement is above the relevant threshold and is subject to the defence and security special regime. The procurement is categorised as services, with engineering services forming the stated classification.

When the requirement reaches the market, it should be relevant to engineering consultancies and marine infrastructure specialists with the technical ability to design marine construction works for a jetty environment. Businesses with experience in engineering design for waterfront, harbour, terminal or similar marine assets may be well placed to assess the requirement. The work is connected to the South Jetty Head at Gosport Jetty and sits within an asset management programme, so firms able to understand the design, maintenance and operational context of existing marine infrastructure should prepare. Suppliers should also consider whether they can meet the requirements associated with a central government defence and security procurement, including any project-specific technical, assurance or security conditions set out when the tender is released.
