Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Cumbrae Slipway Reconstruction" is being managed by Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd, based in Port Glasgow. This works project is categorised under the transport industry, specifically aiming to reconstruct the slipway vital for ferry services to the Isle of Cumbrae. The contract has reached the award stage with George Leslie Ltd appointed as the supplier, with the contract being activated on 10th November 2025. The project, located on the Ayrshire Coast near Glasgow, underwent an open procurement method, highlighting its transparency and competitiveness. Initially published in May 2025, the tender experienced deadline extensions, with the bidding process concluding in August 2025. The expected contract value is £9,558,088.

This reconstruction project provides a significant business opportunity, especially for companies specialising in large-scale infrastructure and maritime construction.

Given the project's emphasis on quality (accounting for 60% of award criteria), businesses with advanced technical capabilities and proven experience in delivering high-quality infrastructure projects are well-suited to compete. Such projects also open doors for subcontracting opportunities and potential collaboration with local authorities to ensure compliance with public benefits and community engagement clauses.
