## Summary

Orkney Islands Council has completed the procurement process for the "Orkney Community Wind Farms - Turbine Supply Agreement & Full Service Agreement." The procurement, falling under the goods category, involves the design, supply, transportation, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of up to 18 wind turbine generators at three consented sites: Quanterness, Hoy, and Faray on the Orkney Islands. The awarded contract, valued at £39,770,838 GBP, was signed on 26 June 2025 with Nordex UK Ltd. The procurement followed a competitive dialogue method under a selective process, ensuring detailed engagement with potential suppliers. The project's scope includes a substantial 28-year contract duration, encompassing both a three-year turbine supply agreement and a 25-year maintenance agreement, with options for further expansions.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in renewable energy, particularly those experienced in wind energy projects. With a total potential installed capacity of up to 90MW, companies involved in wind turbine manufacturing, electrical installation, and maintenance stand to benefit. Small and medium-sized enterprises, despite no recorded bids from this group, could potentially engage in subcontracting avenues, as there is provision for subcontracting, especially in logistics and installation services. The project aligns with broader industry shifts towards renewable energy, offering strategic partnerships and potential for long-term business growth in the renewables sector.
