PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orkney Islands Council is procuring services to refit the vessel MV Thorsvoe. The work covers vessel repairs, with all required items set out in the procurement specification and supporting tender documents. This is a marine engineering and ship repair requirement, classified under CPV 50241200. The council is the public-sector buyer and the contract concerns work on the MV Thorsvoe. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide an organised vessel refit service rather than general facilities maintenance or routine goods supply. The requirement is presented as a single package, covering the complete refit service for the vessel. It is relevant to shipyards, marine engineering businesses and specialist vessel repair contractors able to manage the specified repair works as one coordinated service.

The process has reached tender: Orkney Islands Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It is a single-lot procurement with an estimated value of £170,000 including the stated currency, and the contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 29 September 2026. Tenders were due by 4 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The scheduled award period began at 14:00 UTC on 4 September 2026, when bids were due to be opened electronically by three authorised officers through Teams. The council will assess suitability, economic and technical selection criteria, with the detailed requirements included in the Scotland SPD module. Bids must be in English and remain valid for 90 days. Variants and renewals are not allowed. A further requirement is anticipated for July or August 2027.

This opportunity suits established marine engineering companies, ship repair yards and vessel refit specialists with the technical capability to diagnose and complete the specified repairs on MV Thorsvoe. Suppliers should be able to coordinate a complete refit package, manage the work as a single delivery, and demonstrate financial and organisational suitability through the Scotland SPD process. The requirement is likely to favour businesses with suitable workshop, marine access, equipment, engineering personnel and project-management capacity for a concentrated vessel repair assignment. Contractors able to prepare a compliant technical proposal, provide clear pricing against the required schedule and submit supporting suitability information in English will be well placed to compete. Businesses with experience delivering comparable vessel refits or marine repair programmes should consider this relevant, particularly where they can mobilise the necessary specialist resources.
