OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is led by Historic Environment Scotland, who is seeking to relaunch the contract for the Maeshowe Shuttle Bus service. This service operates daily from Skara Brae, Sandwick, Orkney, to Tormiston Mill, Stenness, Orkney, with only a few exceptions during the holiday season. The procurement method is an open tender, with the submission deadline on 7 February 2019. The bidding process is currently complete, and the award decision has been finalised, with the contract duration anticipated to last for up to four years, contingent on performance. This opportunity falls within the services category, specifically targeting the tourism, built environment, and conservation industries.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transport and tourism sectors, particularly those with experience in shuttle or coach services. With the recent award granted to Orkney Community Transport Organisation, businesses with specialized capabilities in high-quality transportation and local knowledge of Orkney’s attractions will find this experience valuable. Businesses preparing to compete should ensure they meet the financial stability requirements and insurance specifications while focusing on both competitive pricing and service quality that align with the award criteria.
