## Summary

The Oil & Pipelines Agency is seeking to establish a framework for the provision of Ad-Hoc Engineering Support and Consultancy services through the OPA Professional Services Framework. The contract, valued at £4,000,000, falls under the construction sector and primarily services the Oil Fuel Depots for the Ministry of Defence. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, having recently concluded the tender period that ended on 15 August 2016, with the contract period beginning on 30 September 2016 and running until 1 October 2020. Interested parties need to act promptly as the award related to this framework had its published date on 16 March 2017.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for engineering and consultancy firms, particularly those with expertise in oil and pipeline sectors. Given the emphasis on modernising aging assets, businesses with capabilities in project management, design, and specialist engineering services will be well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this a particularly advantageous platform to secure involvement in projects that expand their portfolio and network within the public sector.

## Notice

This framework is to provide Ad-Hoc Engineering Support/Consultancy services to the Oil and Pipelines Agency (OPA) on a per project basis, in order to allow OPA to fulfil its requirements as O&M for Oil Fuel Depots (OFDs) on behalf of the MoD. There is currently a number of packages of Engineering works planned in order to modernise the aging assets contained within the OFDs, these projects vary in size and complexity and are actioned on an individual project basis. The OPA currently has a dedicated Engineering team, however to meet the required level of works, some additional support is required, typically where in-house resources are not capable of delivery within the required time frame or where specialist services/consultancy is required. Each commission will be assessed on its individual merit and a tailored scope of works created for pricing, which could reflect any number of stages within the typical project life cycle, from design only, to full turn key packages.
