## Summary

Kishorn Port Limited (KPL) is planning a public procurement process for the Kishorn East Reclamation and Dry Dock Enlargement project, which falls under the dry docks construction work category. Located at Kishorn Port & Dry Dock in Strathcarron, the project involves enlarging the existing dry dock and reclamation of foreshore land. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage with a Contract Notice anticipated in October 2024 and Contract Award expected by December 2024. KPL, whose office is based in Dingwall, is engaging in market research to design the procurement and encourage early expressions of interest.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, siteworks, land reclamation, and harbour construction. The contract value is estimated at £15 million, and the successful contractor will be responsible for critical tasks such as rock blasting, material excavation, land reclamation, and road construction. Companies with expertise in these areas, particularly those experienced in working on large-scale infrastructure projects, would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The opportunity to become the Principal Contractor for such a major infrastructure project could serve as a significant growth catalyst for the selected business.

## Notice

Kishorn Port Limited own and operate the Dry Dock facility at Kishorn. The existing Dry Dock is to be enlarged by forming a cutting 100m long and 60m wide into the rock foreshore. The rock material blasted and removed will be used to reclaim 8.5 hectares of foreshore land to the east of the Dry Dock. Access roads are to be repositioned around the new works. The Contractor will design the blasting elements of the Works. In support of its ongoing operations, KPL is engaging in market research with a view to launching a competitive tender process for works associated with the East Reclamation and Dry Dock Enlargement at a later date for the award of a contract.
