OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Shetland Islands Council is seeking tenders for the supply of a new vessel, as outlined in their recent update on 27th October 2023. The contract is part of the Fair Isle Ferry Replacement Project funded by the UK Government's Levelling Up Fund, requiring a proven design for a new steel monohull workboat with a 12-passenger capacity that meets MCA workboat code compliance. The delivery of the vessel is expected by 31st October 2025 at Lerwick, Shetland Islands. This procurement process follows an open procedure under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The deadline for submissions has been extended to 22nd November 2023, ensuring additional time for interested parties to prepare their bids.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for shipbuilding companies, particularly those with experience in constructing vessels of 18 to 40 metres in length and familiar with UK Maritime regulations. The requirement for financial stability, including a minimum turnover and specific insurance standards, suggests the contract is suitable for established businesses in the marine engineering and shipbuilding sectors. The emphasis on community benefits and electronic submissions indicates an inclusive approach, potentially providing supplier visibility and engagement with Shetlander communities. Companies able to meet these criteria could leverage this contract as an entry into or expansion within the maritime industry supported by UK government funding initiatives.
