Summary of the contracting process

Shetland Islands Council procured two prefabricated ferry-terminal waiting rooms as a works contract. The units are for Foula Ferry Terminal on Foula and Papa Stour Ferry Terminal on Papa Stour, both in Shetland. The requirement covers prefabrication and delivery to the Council’s Marine and Air Operations site at Sella Ness, Shetland. This is a small-scale construction and off-site manufacturing requirement, relevant to businesses that design, manufacture, supply and deliver prefabricated buildings or modular public-use facilities. The procurement relates to the construction and assembly of prefabricated structures, classified under CPV 45223800. The Council was the buying organisation and central purchasing body.

The procurement is complete and was run as a single lot using an open procedure. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening at 12:30. The contract period was 120 days. Malakoff Limited was awarded the contract, which is active and was signed on 28 July 2026 for £179,139.58. Three electronic bids were received, all from SMEs; none were from EU bidders and all three were from non-EU bidders. Variants were not allowed, English was the submission language, and electronic payment was available with electronic invoicing allowed. Evaluation required relevant experience delivering the works, demonstrated through examples from the previous three years, plus financial standing and insurance evidence.

This award shows demand from Shetland Islands Council for prefabricated public facilities serving remote ferry terminals, with delivery into Shetland and a relatively short construction programme. A supplier targeting similar future requirements would need the ability to design or manufacture robust prefabricated waiting rooms, coordinate transport to island locations, and deliver construction works against technical drawings and an activity schedule. Credibility would depend on recent evidence of comparable works, supported by examples from the previous three years. The buyer also expected suppliers to demonstrate financial resilience through accounts, a bank reference, credit evidence or turnover, and to hold employers’ liability insurance of at least £10 million and public liability insurance of at least £5 million. The competition attracted three SME bids, indicating a route accessible to suitably capable smaller firms.
