Summary of the contracting process

Orkney Islands Council is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for the Provision of Operated Plant Hire and Plant Hire across all areas of Orkney. This procurement process falls under the general public services category and includes multiple lots: East Mainland, West Mainland, Inner and South Isles, and Outer Isles. Each lot features two options: operated plant hire and plant hire. The total estimated value of the procurement is GBP 800,000, with bids being accepted electronically until 25 September 2024. The award period will commence on the same day. This open procedure is currently in the tender stage, and the contract duration spans 48 months, with a potential recurrence in July/August 2028.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the plant hire and operated plant hire sectors to expand their market presence and secure long-term contracts with a regional authority. Providers with expertise in supplying heavy machinery and equipment across various terrains, particularly those familiar with the Orkney Islands, would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. Businesses that can demonstrate high-quality services alongside competitive pricing have a solid chance of being selected, as the award criteria are weighted 60% on quality and 40% on price. The inclusion of community benefits further opens avenues for companies to contribute positively to the local social, economic, and environmental landscape.
