Summary of the contracting process

The Oil and Pipelines Agency is buying engineering inspection and associated tank services at Finnart Ocean Terminal in Scotland. The work covers initial roof inspections of Tanks 707, 709 and 711, enabling works, cleaning and gas freeing, followed by full inspections, reporting and a fully costed repair plan aligned with the Agency’s intended design life for the tanks. The requirement is for specialist inspection and preparation of three oil-storage tanks, rather than general building or pipeline work. The specified delivery locations are in Scotland.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure under the defence and security regime. The enquiry deadline was 2 October 2026 at 12:00 BST, and the tender submission deadline was 3 November 2026 at 12:00 GMT. The contract is scheduled to run from 11 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Price is the stated award criterion, with ISO 14000 identified in the criterion description. The buyer set 23 November 2026 as the end of the award period.

This requirement suits specialist tank inspection and maintenance contractors able to work on oil-storage tanks and undertake roof inspections, cleaning, gas freeing, full inspections, reporting and repair planning. Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable. Bidders need to provide proof of ISO 14000 and hold full indemnity insurance of £5 million. They must also be able to meet the Oil and Pipelines Agency’s standards, which are included in the tender document library. Delivery involves work at a Finnart terminal, so suppliers should be equipped to manage weather-related hazards, security risks including war or civil disturbance, and the risk of oil containment loss.
