OJEU - F5 - Contract Notice (Utilities)
Summary of the contracting process

Shetland Islands Council (Utilities) is seeking a single contractor to provide marine electrical and mechanical services. The work covers Sullom Voe Terminal, including the crude oil loading jetties, and the Council’s ports, harbours, ferry terminals, vessels and other marine infrastructure across the Shetland Islands. Services include electrical and mechanical maintenance and support for marine and port facilities, with a 24-hour, 365-day emergency call-out service. The contractor must work safely in high-hazard operational environments and comply with site-specific controls, including permit-to-work and access-control systems. The main service classification is engineering services (CPV 71334000), with additional classifications for repair and maintenance of electrical and mechanical building installations.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It is a single-lot, single-supplier framework agreement. Bids must be submitted by 22 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bid opening and the start of the stated award period are scheduled for 13:00 the same day. The framework contract period is 1,440 days, with options for up to four additional 12-month periods. Evaluation is based on price at 60% and quality at 40%. Variants are not allowed. The successful tenderer must complete the Scottish Single Procurement Document and satisfy the stated requirements. The arrangement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and is expected to recur over eight years.

This opportunity suits an established marine engineering contractor with proven electrical and mechanical capability in both oil and gas environments and harbour areas. Bidders must provide two case studies covering relevant work completed within the last five years and demonstrate the capacity to deliver continuous emergency support. The service model requires an electrical engineer to be available around the clock, every day of the year, attend Sullom Voe Terminal within two hours and act as isolating authority within its permit system. Suitable staff must have the experience and knowledge to maintain the required systems. Tenderers also need robust financial standing, employers’, public liability and professional indemnity insurance, and the ability to work under strict high-hazard controls. Scottish-law and English-language tender requirements apply.
