The procurement, identified by tender ID OIC/PROC/2220, followed an open procedure, inviting electronic submissions and was categorised under goods in the general public services sector. Key dates in this process include a tender closing date of 11th September 2025, with the contract subsequently awarded to G. M. Leitch Ltd on 3rd October 2025 for a contract value of £42,000. The project location was designated in the UKM65 region, Kirkwall, ensuring consistent operational capability for cargo handling and other pier-side activities.
