## Summary

Merseytravel is currently seeking tenders for the "New Mersey Ferry Project," aimed at acquiring up to two new passenger ferry vessels, with a budget of £9 million. This procurement falls under the transport equipment industry and is classified as works. The tender period is active, with submissions due by 30th January 2019. The project is located in the North West of England and employs a selective procurement method through a competitive dialogue process. Additionally, the contract is expected to commence on 1st October 2019 and last until 1st October 2051.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the maritime and transportation sectors, particularly those involved in vessel design, construction, and maintenance. Companies that can demonstrate innovation and a commitment to long-term maintenance solutions would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this procurement process allows businesses to showcase their capabilities and align their offerings with the needs of a forward-thinking organisation dedicated to modernising the Mersey Ferries service for future generations.

## Notice

Merseytravel wishes to procure up to 2 new passenger ferry vessels as part of our long term strategy to ensure the Mersey Ferries service is available for future generations to enjoy. Our procurement requirements currently assume we will acquire one vessel, but we may choose to procure 2 vessels should that be economically advantageous. In addition to the acquisition of the new vessel(s), Merseytravel is seeking to enter into long-term maintenance arrangements with the successful bidder, ideally to cover the entire design-life of the vessel(s). Whilst we have a good understanding or our final requirements, we are anxious to ensure that we use this procurement process to effectively engage with potential suppliers and embrace potential new technology and innovation to ensure the solution we procure is the best it can be. Procurement documents and submissions via The Chest www.the-chest.org reference DN345773.
