Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) procured a civils and marine works framework for its Small Vessels Replacement Programme. The scope covers pre-construction support, site inspections, surveys and investigations, followed by civil engineering and marine construction work. The programme concerns seven ferry terminals: Colintraive, Portavadie, Largs, Tarbert, Lochaline, Kilchoan and Tobermory, across Argyll and Bute, the Highlands and the Isle of Mull. The stated award relates to Lochaline early contractor involvement (ECI). CMAL planned to use NEC4 Professional Services Short Contracts and Engineering and Construction Contracts. This is a works requirement for suppliers able to support ferry-terminal infrastructure projects from early investigation through construction.

The procurement is complete and George Leslie Ltd was selected for the Lochaline ECI lot. The contracts are active. Two contract entries record values of £547,401 and £60,000 respectively; these are separate amounts and are not combined here. The first was signed on 21 August 2026 and the second on 30 September 2026. The stated contract period is 720 days. The tender used an open procedure, with submissions due by 20 February 2026 at noon. The framework allowed one participant and permits extensions under NEC4 contract conditions, although the lot description says there are no renewals. Evaluation included methodology (18% of quality) and price (40%); the remaining criteria and weightings are not set out in the supplied data.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need proven civils and marine delivery experience in an operational ferry terminal, harbour or vessel, including work managed under NEC4 Engineering and Construction and Professional Services Short Contracts. The buyer required three comparable projects completed within the preceding seven years, demonstrating relevant scope, complexity, value, capacity and experience. Suppliers also needed financial standing sufficient to complete on time and within budget, and the ability to meet specified professional indemnity, employers’ liability and public liability insurance levels. Further requirements included suitable quality, health and safety, and environmental management systems; environmental measures addressing climate change; and a resilient supply chain serving the locations, with effective prompt-payment controls for subcontractors. These requirements point to a substantial, technically capable marine construction contractor.
