Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd is procuring civil engineering works to prepare two ferry terminals for shorepower equipment. The work covers concrete foundations for the equipment, together with ducts, pits and some steelwork, at Port Askaig on Islay and Kennacraig. The works are within existing terminal infrastructure. This is a construction project for suppliers able to deliver civil engineering and associated steelwork at both locations.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The submission deadline set was 4 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids were to be submitted electronically in English. The contract period is 30 days. Evaluation gives 40% weighting to price and 60% to quality: methodology (30%), programme (9%), key people (9%), organisational experience (6%), health and safety (3%) and quality management (3%). Bidders were required to provide the names and qualifications of assigned staff. The process has reached tender; the buyer set the bid opening and start of the award period for 4 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC.

This opportunity suits civil engineering contractors with the capability to construct concrete foundations and install ducts, pits and steelwork in ferry-terminal environments. Suppliers should be able to explain a sound delivery methodology and programme, provide appropriately qualified named staff, and demonstrate relevant organisational experience. The evaluation also rewards credible health and safety and quality management arrangements. Work is required at two existing ferry terminals, so bidders should be equipped to coordinate delivery across both Port Askaig and Kennacraig. The stated scope says the works do not require environmental licences or considerations.
