Summary of the contracting process

Shetland Islands Council procured preventative maintenance and standby services for Tingwall Airport in Shetland. The work covers inspection, maintenance and repair of the airport’s systems, supporting the continued operation and reliability of airport infrastructure. It is a services contract delivered at Tingwall Airport, with the council acting as the buyer and central purchasing body. The requirement was arranged as a single lot. Suppliers operating in airport engineering, electrical and mechanical systems maintenance, facilities maintenance or related technical support may find the subject matter relevant. The classification is CPV 63731000, covering airport operation services. The requirement is focused on ongoing technical inspection, repair and standby support rather than construction or the supply of standalone equipment.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. Ness Engineering was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract value is £54,986.24. The tender’s estimated value was £175,000, in GBP. The award date was 31 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 11 August 2026. The stated contract duration is 720 days, with an option to extend for two further periods of 24 months. Bids were submitted electronically in English, and one bid was received; it was from an SME. Evaluation required evidence of carrying out the same or a similar contract within the previous three years, together with employer’s liability insurance of at least £10 million and public liability insurance of at least £5 million. Variants were permitted.

This award demonstrates a live requirement from Shetland Islands Council for specialist airport systems inspection, maintenance, repair and standby support at Tingwall Airport. A credible future competitor would need practical experience delivering the same or closely similar maintenance contract, with evidence that can be presented during evaluation. Appropriate insurance capacity is essential: employer’s liability cover at a minimum of £10 million and public liability cover at a minimum of £5 million. Suppliers should also be able to provide reliable technical response and standby support for airport infrastructure, rather than only planned maintenance. The award to an SME and the single electronic bid indicate that a capable specialist business may be able to compete through the council’s open-procedure route when this specific requirement returns.
