## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL), headquartered in Port Glasgow, United Kingdom, involves the project titled "Ground Investigations for Lot 1 - CMAL SVRP Enabling Works Lot 2 Gasay Ferry Terminal Redevelopment." This project falls under the industry category of site preparation work and is classified as a works contract. The key procurement stage of this Open Procedure culminated in contracts being awarded on 29th July 2025, following an earlier active status. The primary locations targeted for these works include several southern and northern ports in Scotland and Gasay Island in the Outer Hebrides, with specific focus on the Lochboisdale and South Uist areas. The procurement process was covered by the GPA regulations, ensuring inclusivity and competitiveness in the tendering process.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in marine and land-based engineering, site preparation, and geotechnical investigations. Medium to large enterprises with experience in public infrastructure projects and the capability to undertake comprehensive site surveys and ground investigations would be well-suited to this project. Causeway Geotech Ltd, recognised as an SME, has been awarded the contract for both lots, highlighting the competitive nature and accessibility of the tender for SMEs. Such projects not only allow companies to expand their portfolio within the public sector but also strengthen their expertise in sustainable and innovative infrastructure development, particularly in remote and environmentally sensitive locations.

## Notice

CMAL wish to appoint a sole supplier in respect of marine survey and marine and land-based ground investigations for the Small Vessel Replacement Programme (SVRP) Enabling Works and Gasay Ferry Terminal Redevelopment.

### Lot Information

CMAL SVRP Enabling Works

CMAL propose to upgrade 8 ports in the West of Scotland to accommodate electrically powered pedestrian/vehicle ferries. Short roll-on roll-off (ro-ro) crossings between mainland and Islands operate between these ports, using relatively small vessels, which require associated infrastructure. Ground investigations are required at 5 of the ports in order to characterise the ground conditions for dredging design at two locations, and for foundation design for new aligning structures at three other locations. New sub-stations and cabling works will be required at all sites. The purpose of the main works is to undertake a marine survey and marine and land ground investigations to develop a replacement berth and ferry terminal. The purpose of this lot is to gather information that will allow for development of an outline design as well as a detailed design of the main works proposed. This information will be gathered through marine and land Ground Investigations (GI) within the study area, which will be targeted to address the geotechnical and geo-environmental constraints, along with their potential impact on the works proposed.
