Summary of the contracting process

The Shetland Islands Council has successfully completed the procurement stage for a new vessel under the contract titled "Supply of Vessel," aimed at enhancing maritime services within the region UKM66. This contract falls within the category of goods, requiring the construction of an MCA workboat code-compliant steel monohull vessel with a capacity for 12 passengers. The procurement process was conducted using the open procedure method, ensuring transparency and competitiveness. After the tender period that ended on 8 October 2024, the contract was awarded on 4 June 2025 to the supplier, Parkol Marine Engineering Ltd., for a project valued at £5,646,700 GBP, with the completed procurement covered by the GPA, as per the guidelines set forth in Regulation 28 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

This procurement process represents a valuable opportunity for businesses operating within the maritime construction industry, particularly those specialising in passenger vessel fabrication. SMEs like Parkol Marine Engineering Ltd. stand to benefit greatly, indicating room for smaller professionals to engage successfully in such projects. The procurement process underscores the demand for specialised technical expertise and ample financial capacity—a minimum annual turnover of £7 million was required—ensuring that participants possess both the operational and economic robustness to deliver high-quality marine vessels. Furthermore, the procurement included community benefits, such as targeted recruitment and supply chain development, offering additional avenues for local businesses to engage and contribute to the wider socio-economic growth within the region. This project provides fertile ground for interested parties to expand their business presence in the UK maritime sector through strategic collaborations and reliable execution of complex maritime construction contracts.
