This initiative, funded by Levelling Up Funds, aims to introduce new vessels, including a passenger ferry, a freight vessel, and an inter-island freight vessel. The current procurement stage involves a due diligence review of the vessel designs to ensure they meet the required standards before competitive procurement. The contract period is set to start on October 24, 2022, and end on January 31, 2023. This tender for the replacement vessel project offers opportunities for businesses in the maritime industry and service providers within the South West region of the United Kingdom. Companies specialising in shipbuilding, naval architecture, transport services, and logistics are well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the emphasis on supporting SMEs in the procurement process. The main procurement category for this opportunity is services, and the procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold. ## Notice Council of Isles of Scilly along with its partners including Isles of Scilly Steamship Group were successful in securing Levelling Up Funds for a vessel replacement project to introduce new vessels to provide lifeline passenger and freight services between Penzance and Isles of Scilly. Isles of Scilly Steamship Group were already well progressed with the design of three replacement vessels working with their appointed naval architects. The vessel designs had resulted in three vessels: * A passenger ferry, also capable of carrying freight to sail between Penzance and St. Mary's harbour at Isles of Scilly. * A freight vessel sailing between Penzance and St. Mary's harbour at Isles of Scilly. * An inter-island freight vessel capable of transporting freight between the islands of Scilly. As the next stage of the project, the public sector must undertake a due diligence review of the vessels to confirm they are suitable to deliver the lifeline sea link services prior to competitive procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9059f08-df67-454d-9e43-2305905cb29e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 17 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Oct 2022 - 31 Jan 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | COUNCIL OF THE ISLES OF SCILLY | | Locality | ISLES OF SCILLY | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR21 0LW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Isles of Scilly | | Electoral ward | St Mary's | | Westminster constituency | St Ives | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34500000 - Ships and boats ## Release History - 5 Oct 2022 at 08:01 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9059f08-df67-454d-9e43-2305905cb29e - 30 Sep 2022 at 14:58 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fd4c91bb-333f-4373-bc44-213655d177a7 - 30 Sep 2022 at 09:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fd4c91bb-333f-4373-bc44-213655d177a7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9059f08-df67-454d-9e43-2305905cb29e 5th October 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fd4c91bb-333f-4373-bc44-213655d177a7 30th September 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/21bf8927-6424-4c23-924b-260d9b032cbf - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/96d4988c-eb55-4090-b916-da0b0d520cd7 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
