OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Fraserburgh Harbour Commissioners aimed to conduct comprehensive ground investigation works at Fraserburgh Harbour, a key component of the Fraserburgh Harbour Masterplan. The procurement, which was completed in July 2026, employed a restricted procedure involving a selective method, allowing only shortlisted bidders to proceed to the invitation to tender (ITT) stage. The contract, valued at £2,895,035 GBP, was awarded to Causeway Geotech Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Ballymoney. Key activities include marine and land-based boreholes, sand grading analysis, and dredge analysis. The project addresses necessary groundwork for the New South Harbour development in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for contractors experienced in harbour-related infrastructure and ground investigations. Firms specialising in geotechnical analysis and reporting with capabilities to undertake substantial marine operations would have been well-suited for this tender. The opportunity targeted a specific calibre of contractors given its selective nature, ensuring submissions from adept and relevant industry players, thus facilitating high-quality completion of the project to inform essential infrastructure development at Fraserburgh Harbour.
