Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (Utility) is seeking one contractor to demolish the redundant Gourock Warehouse in Gourock, Scotland, and complete associated remedial works. The project is a construction and demolition package, classified under CPV 45111100. The scope includes demolishing the existing warehouse while protecting the site's main electrical supply; constructing a new structure around the existing electrical supply and boards; installing new supply cables to various installations; removing separate bunded fuel tanks; and installing new street furniture. The appointed contractor will work for the harbour authority and asset owner, with the works delivered at the Gourock site. The requirement is a single-lot contract, and bidders may submit variants that meet the buyer's needs differently from the stated proposal.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. The tender deadline and bid opening were amended following a supplier request: both are set for 18 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with the opening at Port Glasgow. The evaluation gives 70% to price and 4.5% to health and safety, with the remaining criteria set out in the tender requirements. The contract period is 450 days, and bids must remain valid for 90 days after submission. The tender requires professional risk indemnity insurance of £1 million, employers’ compulsory liability insurance of £5 million, public liability insurance of £5 million and contractors’ all-risk insurance of £5 million. Award decision activity was scheduled to begin on 4 September 2026.

This opportunity suits demolition and construction contractors able to deliver complex works in an operational maritime environment while maintaining critical electrical infrastructure. Bidders must provide at least two comparable projects completed within the past five years, covering similar scope, complexity and value; experience of similar-scale demolition and, preferably, work under SBCC contracts will be relevant. The submission must include project overviews, tender and outturn prices and timetables, plus two references. The buyer will assess financial standing through a Dun & Bradstreet report, including every consortium member, and will exclude businesses assessed as high overall risk. Role-specific qualifications and certificates, quality assurance arrangements, environmental management systems and environmental standards are minimum requirements. Firms should therefore have suitably qualified staff, robust safety controls, environmental capability and the capacity to manage a substantial, technically sensitive demolition project.
