Summary of the contracting process

Peterhead Port Authority sought professional services for the Smith Quay Extension in Peterhead. The requirement covered a Project Manager and Supervising Engineer working under NEC4 arrangements for a major marine construction project. The underlying works comprise an 83-metre extension to the existing 120-metre Smith Quay, a mooring dolphin, 10,000 square metres of concrete-paved laydown areas, associated site infrastructure and quayside furniture. The consultant would manage and supervise construction, including health, safety, quality and environmental compliance and compliance with marine licences. The work is based at Smith Quay, Peterhead. NIRAS was engaged to develop and complete the design, while McLaughlan & Harvey Limited was engaged for early contractor input through the SCAPE Scotland Utilities Framework Agreement.

This open procedure reached the award stage but was cancelled because of significant changes to the Work Information; the stated award outcome was unsuccessful and discontinued. The cancellation was recorded on 20 August 2026. The original tender deadline was 29 June 2026 at 11:00, later amended to 13 July 2026 at 11:00, with tenders opened at 12:00 that day. The estimated professional-services value was £750,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The construction works were valued at £30 million. The planned services period was 840 days, with continuation if construction was delayed. Evaluation allocated 40/100 to price and 10/100 to quality legal information. Electronic catalogues were required, variants were not allowed, and bids had to remain valid for 90 days.

This requirement indicates demand from a port authority for specialist consultancy supporting complex marine construction and NEC4 delivery. Credible competitors would need professionally qualified project-management and engineering staff with direct experience managing and supervising marine construction projects. They would also need robust systems for monitoring health, safety, quality and environmental performance, including compliance with marine licences. The authority expected externally audited management processes covering ISO 9001 quality, ISO 45001 occupational health and safety, and ISO 14001 environmental management. A cloud-based document-management and collaboration system was also required, together with named staff and their qualifications. Firms able to combine NEC4 expertise, marine-project experience, regulated compliance and digital project administration would be well placed for this buyer’s future requirements.
