UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Oil and Pipelines Agency intends to procure design services for a fire system on the jetty at the Oil Fuel Depot in Gosport. This is a specialist fire and explosion protection and control consultancy assignment, classified under CPV 71317100. The work is categorised as services and falls under the defence and security regime. Delivery is in Gosport, United Kingdom. The requirement concerns the design of protection for a jetty environment, so it is relevant to businesses with experience in fire-system engineering, fire and explosion risk control, and safety-critical infrastructure. It may also suit firms that design systems for fuel storage, pipelines, ports, terminals or other hazardous industrial facilities, although the published requirement does not describe construction, installation, maintenance or ongoing operation services.

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 under the defence and security regime. The procurement is above the applicable threshold and is planned as one lot. The indicative date for the next notice is 1 February 2027. The planned contract period is 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2028. The estimated value is £3,800 excluding VAT and £4,560,000 including VAT. The published planning information identifies the requirement as a fire-system design service, but does not set out evaluation criteria, eligibility conditions, submission requirements or a consultation exercise. These details may be developed before the competition.

The requirement is likely to suit specialist fire-protection consultancies, fire-safety engineering practices and multidisciplinary engineering firms able to design systems for jetties and other hazardous, fuel-related infrastructure. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating technical competence in fire and explosion protection, understanding of industrial safety requirements, and experience producing designs for operational sites where asset protection and continuity are important. Businesses with knowledge of petroleum facilities, pipelines, terminals, ports or defence-related infrastructure may be well placed to assess the requirement when fuller specifications are released. The scope currently points to design rather than supply or installation, so firms whose main strength is consultancy, engineering design, risk assessment and integration of fire-protection systems are the most obvious potential participants. No particular accreditation or capacity requirement has yet been stated.
