Summary of the contracting process

In a recent public procurement process, Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) successfully completed a contract for the maintenance and repair of Aids to Navigation (AtoN) and moorings, essential services for the Clyde & Hebridean Ferries Network. Located in Port Glasgow, Scotland, CMAL operates as both the buying organisation and central purchasing body. The awarded contract, valued at £1,073,264 GBP and signed on 13th August 2025, is the result of an open procurement procedure aimed at appointing a sole supplier. Alchemy Plant & Contracting Ltd, an SME based in Oban, has been selected to deliver these services. The tendering process, now in its award stage, was initiated in February 2025, with evaluations considering criteria such as health and safety and pricing.

This tender process offers valuable opportunities for businesses involved in maritime services, particularly those specialising in maintenance and repair. The open procedure decreases entry barriers, encouraging participation from SMEs like Alchemy Plant & Contracting Ltd. Enterprises capable of providing high-quality, efficient services within the maritime industry stand to benefit from engaging with future contracts by entities like CMAL. The recurring nature of such tenders, reinforced by the potential publishing of new opportunities approximately six months before the current contract’s expiry, provides business continuity and growth prospects within this sector.
