Lot Information
Major Vessels - Vessels Dry Docking, Slipping Services, Vessel Repair & Maintenance Services including Options for Project Work (such as Refurbishments, Modifications & Upgrades) & Emergency Dockings
CalMac Ferries Ltd (CFL) is an operating company of the David MacBrayne Group, which is wholly owned by Scottish Ministers. It operates the Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Service contract with a fleet of 35 vessels providing passenger, vehicle and freight shipping services on 30 routes, serving 56 ports and harbours across the west coast of Scotland and the Scottish Islands. CFL are seeking to implement a Dynamic Purchasing System with a number of Suppliers to deliver the Core Service of long term, annual planned maintenance for their new vessels, the first of which will become operational during 2024 and for CFL's existing fleet when the current maintenance contracts expire. The DPS will also look to deliver Optional Services if and when required such as Project Work for the refurbishment, modernisation and upgrade of its vessels, together with vessel breakdown repairs. This approach intends to offer increased flexibility by having a network of pre-selected suppliers on the DPS to call upon over a sustained period of time to deliver CFL's requirements. This flexible, longer term approach to vessel maintenance will help provide greater value for money, improve reliability and availability of vessels, together with increased stability for suppliers that enables increased investment and continuous improvement resulting in an enhanced service for CFL's customers - the ferry passengers. The scope of work will be specific vessel dependent. Both Major and Small vessels are likely to be in dock for an average of 14 to 21 days based on a normal routine planned maintenance period, but this may be longer depending on CFL's requirements and work scope. Prospective suppliers should note that vessels are subject to specific operational areas contained in the load line certificate for each vessel. Any supplier will require to be located within the geographical restrictions of the vessel. Vessel movements may also be subject to favourable weather conditions and Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) approval. Lot 1 Major Vessels - these feature vessels from our fleet which fall into the following criteria: Likely Minimum Vessel Dimensions (Metres) Length (OA) - 49.2 Breadth(Extreme) - 11.9 Draught (Max) - 2.7 Likely Maximum Vessel Dimensions (Metres) Length (OA) - 116.16 Breadth(Extreme) - 19.2 Draught (Max) - 4.85 Please Note: These are currently the minimum and maximum sized vessels operated by CFL within this Lot. Economic Operators will have the ability to compete for vessels applicable to this Lot, and full details of the vessel sizes will be defined by CFL when a Call Off mini competition exercise is advertised. All Economic Operators who are eligible to take part in Lot 1 will be notified at that time. However, it shall be the Economic Operator's responsibility to ensure that the vessel(s) involved in the mini competition exercise fit within their infrastructure limitations before submitting a response for the mini competition concerned. The minimum and maximum vessel sizes provided are subject to change as new vessels join the CFL fleet or older vessels are removed from service. A link to a video produced by CFL is available in the Attachments Folder on PCS-Tender. The aim of this video is to provide further insight into CFL and to provide information on CFL's requirement. The video also provides information on the DPS and how CFL sees this operating and explains the pre-selection process for any interested bidders who would like to be part of the DPS. Whilst potential bidders may find the video informative, nothing communicated in the video is binding on CFL unless confirmed in writing in the Contract Notice, the SPD, or any future tender documentation which will be made available in due course through PCS-Tender. To the extent that anything in the procurement documents contradicts statements made during any premarket engagement, the procurement documents shall take precedence.. The estimated contract value excl VAT for Lot 1 is 82 000 000 GBP over the contract term. Economic Operators may be excluded from the DPS if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. CFL reserves the right to award additional services in accordance with Regulation 33(8) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
Renewal: This DPS is expected to run for a period of six years until circa December 2029. There are no time limit restrictions on a DPS and CFL reserves the right to shorten, terminate or extend the operation of the DPS at any time
