The Maeshowe Shuttle Bus 2017 tender, issued by Historic Environment Scotland, seeks to establish a daily shuttle bus service between Stenness Visitor Centre and Tormiston Mill in Orkney. This tender is classified under the services category and was officially initiated on 3 April 2017, with the tender submission deadline set for 22 February 2017 at 2:00 PM.

Maeshowe Shuttle Bus 2017

Notice Description

HES requires the provision of shuttle bus service from Stenness Visitor Centre, Orkney to Tormiston Mill, Stenness, Orkney and back on a daily basis, with the exceptions of 25-26th December 2017 and 1-2 January 2018 (and future years if contract extended).

Lot Information

Lot 1

HES requires the provision of shuttle bus service from Stenness Visitor Centre, Orkney to Tormiston Mill, Stenness, Orkney and back on a daily basis, with the exceptions of 25-26th December 2017 and 1-2 January 2018 (and future years if contract extended). HES considers it uneconomic and operationally unviable to split this requirement into multiple lots.

Renewal: The contract period is 12 months with the option to extend for up to a further 12 months.

If Suppliers cannot provide any of the assurances as detailed above, and it is determined by HES that your financial strength is not adequate, then your company may not pass the financial evaluation.
