Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd is seeking one supplier to carry out principal inspections of port infrastructure across the West of Scotland and the Western Isles. The work is an engineering asset-condition survey service covering port assets above, on and below the water. The inspection scope includes piers, slipways, roundheads, fixed ramps, harbour walls, linkspans, port approach structures, dolphins, piling, supporting columns, walkways, steps and marshalling areas, as well as other related assets. The appointed supplier will assess asset condition and report its findings. This is a single-supplier requirement for the organisation’s harbour infrastructure and asset estate, suited to firms providing specialist civil, structural or marine infrastructure inspection services.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline is 24 August 2026 at 12:00 GMT, following an extension to the original deadline; tenders are scheduled to open at the same time. The contract is for 1,080 days, with an option to renew for one further five-year period. The stated evaluation includes price, weighted at 40, and project methodology, weighted at 24. Bidders may submit variants, and offers must remain valid for 90 days from the submission deadline. The successful supplier must provide staff names and qualifications. Required insurance limits are £5 million professional indemnity, £10 million employers’ liability and £2 million public liability.

This opportunity suits an established engineering consultancy or specialist inspection contractor with experience assessing complex marine and port infrastructure in operational environments. Strong candidates will be able to survey structures above, on and below water, interpret asset condition and produce clear engineering reports covering a varied estate of piers, ramps, walls, linkspans, piling, dolphins, walkways and associated facilities. The requirement favours suppliers able to mobilise suitable inspection teams and manage work across ports in the West of Scotland and Western Isles. Staff qualifications must be identified in the bid, so the tender is suited to businesses with an experienced, clearly defined technical team and the capacity to deliver a long-term inspection programme, supported by substantial professional and public liability cover.
