Summary of the contracting process

Shetland Islands Council (Utilities) has completed the procurement process for the Time Charter Tug Hire at the Port of Sullom Voe in the Shetland Islands, under the tender reference PH/02/25. The contract, valued initially at £350,000, had begun with an open procurement procedure. It required a vessel of suitable technical specification and class for towage operations for a period of 50 days starting from 27 March 2025, with an option to extend for an additional 14 days. The procurement included critical dates, such as the tender period ending on 11 March 2025 and the subsequent award period commencing the same day.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the maritime and ship chartering sectors, particularly those capable of providing vessels and services that meet the stringent technical requirements. The procurement method was open, allowing for broad competition, and submissions were sought from shipbrokers and vessel owners, with Targe Towing Ltd securing the contract. Businesses with expertise in towage operations and those able to meet the financial and technical criteria outlined by the council would be well-suited to pursue similar opportunities to expand their market presence within this regional authority's procurement framework.
