Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council is seeking one contractor for marine concrete works at Feolin on the Isle of Jura. The works are intended to make it easier for passengers to embark and disembark relief ferries by cutting checks into the existing concrete slipway, and include repairs to the slipway surface. All work will take place within the tidal range, so suppliers will need to plan and carry out construction in that environment. This is a civil engineering and marine construction project involving concrete repair and modification of ferry access infrastructure. The council is the buying organisation, and the delivery location is Feolin, Isle of Jura.

The council invited offers through an open procedure for a single-contractor award. The procurement has reached the tender stage. Bids were to be submitted electronically by 23 October 2026 at 12 noon; the bid opening was scheduled for the same time. The contract period is 30 days. The estimated value for the single lot is £100,000. Suppliers may propose variants, giving them scope to offer a different solution to the council’s requirements. The works are evaluated through economic and technical selection criteria, with a suitable methodology for the slipway works to be proposed by suppliers. The procurement is not described as cancelled or withdrawn.

This opportunity is suited to civil engineering and marine construction contractors with the capability to modify and repair concrete structures in a tidal environment. Relevant experience would include working on slipways or comparable waterfront infrastructure, managing access and construction around tidal conditions, and maintaining safe working practices while delivering concrete works. The scope is for one contractor to handle both the slipway checks and surface repairs, so bidders should be able to coordinate the work as a single package and propose a workable methodology. The invitation allows variant proposals, which may suit contractors able to offer alternative technical approaches to improving ferry passenger access. The tender materials include a contractor health and safety application form, so bidders should be ready to address the council’s health and safety requirements.
