Summary of the contracting process

CalMac Ferries Limited is conducting a tender for the project titled "Just Culture - Implementation," aimed at fostering a Just Safety Culture within the organisation. This procurement, characterised as a selective method within the services industry, focuses on enhancing operational safety by developing a culture where front-line staff are encouraged to report issues without fear of punishment. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with a contract value of £118,800. The project has a delivery location on the West Coast of Scotland. The deadline for submission was 22 March 2021, and the contract was signed on 25 August 2021.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential, particularly for companies experienced in safety culture consultancy, organisational change management, or training services. Businesses that specialise in creating frameworks for enhancing workplace behaviour and safety transparency, especially those with a proven track record in the maritime or transport sectors, would be well-suited to compete. The procurement framework offers a chance for SMEs to participate, as evidenced by the competitive bids received from multiple suppliers.

CalMac is seeking a partner to facilitate the development of a Just Safety Culture within the organisation. Just Culture can be defined as "a workplace culture in which front-line operators and others are not punished for actions, omissions, or decisions taken by them which are commensurate with their experience and training, but where gross negligence, wilful violations, and destructive acts are not tolerated." By introducing a Just Culture framework that is consistent, credible, and fair, CalMac will become more transparent in its decision making, and in the way in which it deals with behaviour. This builds trust and provides an opportunity to further improve safety culture. A Just Culture framework implemented effectively will facilitate this behavioural change, giving CalMac the opportunity to develop a mature safety culture. This project seeks to put in place the building blocks to allow CalMac to develop a Just Culture. In order to do this, CalMac is seeking an external supplier to facilitate the behavioural change.

Renewal: Contract length will be driven by responses to Stage 2 of the Procurement and focus on the delivery of a set of outcomes. The exact length of the contract is not yet known. While it is envisaged that the initial contract term may be approximately 12-24 months. This initial contract term may differ further to structured negotiation with Tenderers during Stage 2 of the Procurement.
