Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd is buying civil engineering and construction works for shorepower equipment at the Port Askaig ferry terminal on Islay and the Kennacraig ferry terminal. The work comprises concrete foundations, ducts, pits and some steelwork, all within existing infrastructure. The requirement supports installation of shorepower equipment at these ferry facilities. This is a single package of works for both locations, rather than separate site contracts. The scope is classified as construction of complete or part civil engineering construction work (CPV 45200000).

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The submission deadline was 4 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the stated bid opening was at that time in Port Glasgow. The planned contract period is 30 days. Bids must remain valid for 30 days after the submission deadline, and variants are not allowed. Evaluation gives 40% to price and 30% to the methodology criterion; the published criteria therefore account for 70% of the evaluation weighting. This is one lot covering both ferry terminals. The tender requires bidders to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. The contract uses electronic ordering and payment, and electronic invoicing is permitted.

The opportunity suits civil engineering contractors able to deliver small-scale construction within operating ferry-terminal infrastructure, including reinforced or other concrete foundation work, ducting, pits and associated steelwork. Suppliers should be able to plan and explain a practical delivery methodology, as this is an explicitly scored part of the evaluation alongside price. The requirement spans two terminals, so bidders need the capacity to coordinate work across both sites and complete the package within the short stated programme. Bidders must identify the staff they intend to assign and provide their qualifications. The works are described as requiring no environmental licences or environmental considerations, and the tender does not require alternative variants.
