## Summary

The Oil and Pipelines Agency, located in London, has conducted an open tender for the project titled "OPA T287 Cape of Good Hope - Design for the removal of Oil from Underground Caverns." This procurement, classified under professional services for the oil industry, aims to address the removal of approximately 2500-3000m3 of crude oil from underground caverns. The tender period concluded on 13 January 2020, and the contract, valued at £170,469.71, is set to run from 9 March 2020 to 8 June 2020. This process ensures all safety standards and procedures reflect relevant good practices.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the environmental and oil services sectors. Companies with expertise in oil extraction and remediation services are particularly well-suited to compete, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which the contracting authority considers favourably. The contract's clear requirements and significant value can attract potential bidders eager to expand their portfolios in the oil industry.

## Notice

Cape of Good Hope (CoGH) site consists of two caverns (approx. 500,000m3 total volume) situated 1km from the main site. These two caverns contain around 2500-3000m3 of crude oil and are rented from a local company. There is a requirement to remove the crude oil from CoGH and return the caverns back to the landlords to reduce the financial requirements of the OPA. Whilst CoGH is not a CoMAH establishment due to the volume of product stored, all standards, procedures and safety management processes are to reflect Relevant Good Practice. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
