Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed here concerns the award of a contract by Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL), a UK-based harbour authority and asset owner located in Port Glasgow, Scotland. The tender titled "Financial Analysis" falls under the services industry category and is completed with BDO LLP as the supplier. The procurement stage has moved from the tender initiation to the award phase, with the contract valued at £150,000 and signed on 11th July 2025. The procurement method was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication due to BDO's specialised expertise in the shipbuilding industry, necessary for the financial analysis required by CMAL at the UKM83 location.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial analysis, particularly those with knowledge in the shipbuilding industry. The nature of the contract, which involves the assessment of candidates for the design and build of new vessels, would suit large firms with a robust team capable of delivering in-depth financial insights. The contracting method shows an absence of competition for technical reasons, highlighting the need for unique expertise. As the procurement process may extend the scope of this contract for similar future opportunities, businesses equipped to handle complex financial evaluations in maritime projects stand to benefit substantially.
