Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process conducted by Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd focuses on establishing a Shore Power Systems Framework for the design, construction, and maintenance of standardised shore power systems across the West of Scotland and Clyde Estuary. The key industry category for this contract is transport, classified under CPV code 45300000. The procurement was carried out using an open procedure, commencing on 25th June 2024, and concluding with the signing of the contract on 17th June 2026. The procurement phase encompasses various stages, culminating in the award phase on 26th June 2026. The tender, identified as CMAL0317, has been developed to address the shore power needs in multiple locations, ensuring continued operability and environmental sustainability throughout the regional network. ABB Ltd, a large-scale supplier, has been appointed as the single provider under this framework due to their expertise and capability to manage such comprehensive projects in the specified geographical locale.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the transport and construction industries, particularly those with experience in marine and electrical system engineering.
