Summary of the contracting process

The Orkney Islands Council is currently managing the procurement process for a contract titled "Ballast Water Sampling," which falls under the general public services industry and is located in Kirkwall, UK. This open tender is now at the contract award stage, with the contract awarded on 11th February 2020 for a total value of £195,000. The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2020, and it runs for three years with an option to extend for an additional two years, subject to satisfactory performance. The tender required bidders to comply with stringent regulations surrounding ballast water sampling, notably the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those offering marine consultancy, environmental services, or those with expertise in handling ballast water management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to compete, especially those equipped to respond to short-notice sampling requirements in Scapa Flow, given the unpredictable nature of shipping movements. Successful contractors will need to demonstrate a capable team available around the clock and the ability to address logistical challenges associated with transport to the Orkney Islands.
