Summary of the contracting process

The Shetland Islands Council, located in Lerwick, Shetland, is currently in the tender stage for a procurement process titled "Tingwall Airport Preventative Maintenance and Standby." The contract involves the inspection, maintenance, and repair of systems at Tingwall Airport, categorised under general public services. The procurement follows an open procedure, with electronic submissions required. Businesses interested in participating must submit their tenders by 12:00 on 31st July 2026, with the award period commencing later that same day. The contract is valued at £175,000 and the winning bidder is expected to carry out the work over a period of 720 days, with potential extensions available.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in airport maintenance services to expand their portfolios. Companies with experience in similar contracts, backed by strong capabilities in maintenance and repair, stand a good chance of competing successfully. Potential bidders should ensure they meet the eligibility criteria, which include holding employer's liability insurance of at least £10 million and public liability insurance of at least £5 million. With the contract managed by the regional authority, competitors should also demonstrate their technical expertise, evidenced by past project experience, ideally within the last three years. This is a promising avenue for businesses looking to solidify their presence in the public services sector, particularly within the UK region designated UKM66.
