This project, situated in Kirkwall, Orkney, is classified under the works procurement category and had an estimated value of £250,000. Currently, the procurement is in the award stage, while the tender process has been marked as cancelled with initial key dates set for submissions, which have since passed. This tender presents potential opportunities for businesses engaged in renewable energy, construction, and infrastructure development. Companies specialising in tidal energy technologies, civil engineering, and environmental assessment are particularly suited to compete for this concession, given the technical specifications and the emphasis on maintaining transport links and reducing wave overtopping risk. Engaging in this project could significantly enhance a firm’s portfolio in sustainable practices and energy efficiency. ## Notice The purpose of this Notice is to invite interested developers to prequalify for a competition for a concession for the design, construction, operation and financing of a tidal energy generation scheme at Churchill Barriers No. 1 and/or No.2. The idealised mean power with both barriers fully open is estimated at 16.7MW at Barrier No.1 and 8.6MW at Barrier No.2. The scheme must allow for maintaining of the road transport link across the barriers at all times and reducing the existing wave overtopping risk at Barrier No.2. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The purpose of this Notice is to invite interested developers to prequalify for a competition for a concession for the design, construction, operation and financing of a tidal energy generation scheme at Churchill Barriers No. 1 and/or No.2.
