OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) is procuring IT managed services from a single supplier. The requirement covers responsibility for delivering a range of IT software services, including maintenance, reporting and development. It is a services contract, classified under CPV 72000000 for information technology services. Most delivery will take place in Port Glasgow, Inverclyde, supporting CMAL’s operations there. The buyer is a harbour authority and asset owner. This opportunity is therefore aimed at an IT services provider able to take overall responsibility for an organisation’s software-service estate, rather than a supplier providing only isolated hardware, software licences or one-off consultancy. The successful supplier will manage the service as a whole and provide ongoing operational and development support.

The process reached tender: CMAL invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The response deadline was extended twice and is 14 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC; tenders are scheduled to open at the same time in Port Glasgow. The contract period is 1,440 days, with an option for CMAL to extend it by up to four one-year periods at its discretion. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and may include variants. Evaluation records Skills & Resources with a value of 14 and price with a value of 30. CMAL may purchase additional requirements under the contract. The requirement is recurrent, with a successor process expected six months before the contract ends. Electronic payment and ordering apply, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This suits an established managed service provider with the breadth to become CMAL’s sole IT services supplier. Relevant capability includes maintaining and developing business software, producing service reports, and taking day-to-day responsibility for reliable service delivery. Suppliers should be able to present the names and professional qualifications of the staff who would perform the work, so a demonstrably skilled and well-resourced team will be important. The contract also favours a provider able to absorb additional requirements during delivery and sustain support over a long operating period, with experience of managing a varied software-service environment rather than delivering a narrowly defined project. Businesses offering integrated IT operations, application support, reporting and development are the strongest fit.
