## Summary

The Newcastle City Council has modified its current contract with Shepherd Offshore Services Limited for quay management services. The Council has extended the Contract term by 9.7 years under Regulation 43 of the Concessions Contracts Regulations 2016. This extension does not substantially alter the original contract in terms of services provided, and was supported by technical and financial analysis. The procurement method used was an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This contract modification presents an opportunity for businesses in the port and waterway operation services industry to engage with the Newcastle City Council. Companies offering services related to quay management and associated port activities can position themselves for potential future contract opportunities. Understanding the regulatory framework around concessions contracts can be beneficial for businesses looking to participate in similar procurement processes in the public sector.

## Notice

In August 2001, Newcastle City Council ('the Council') awarded a contract to provide a quayside management service to Shepherd Offshore Services Limited ('SOSL'), whereby SOSL operates port activities at Walker Quay ('the Quay') on behalf of the Council ('the Contract'). The Contract term is 25 years from 6 August 2001, and is due to expire on 31 March 2026. SOSL is remunerated solely by receiving a share of the income from operating the Contract. The Council has become aware of the need for considerable remediation works to be carried out to the Quay prior to the expiry of the Contract which is the responsibility of the Council, therefore a contract modification has been made to extend the term of the Contract.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Following the commissioning of a survey of Walker Quay, the Council has become aware of the need for considerable remediation works to be carried out to preserve the structural integrity of the Quay and associated facilities ('the Works'). For safety reasons, the Works are required to be carried out prior to the expiry of the Contract. The Works will not improve the Quay but are necessary maintenance in order to maintain operations at the Quay. The Works will disrupt the normal operations and turnover of the Quay for the remaining term of the Contract to 31 March 2026. As a result, in order to compensate SOSL for losses it will incur as a result of the Works, the Council has entered into an extension of the Contract for a further 9.7 years.
