This project falls under the goods category within the ferry transport industry, located in Gourock, UK. Currently in the planning stage, the notice was published on 6th June 2017, with a future notice expected on 9th June 2017. The total budget for this procurement is £50,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in marine equipment and cooling systems, particularly those experienced in working with Volvo engines and ferry operations. Companies that manufacture or supply marine cooling solutions, as well as those that demonstrate expertise in innovative design modifications for existing vessels, would be well-suited to participate. Engaging in this contract could lead to further collaborations with CalMac Ferries and enhance visibility in the ferry transport sector. ## Notice Supply of 12-off HT keel coolers and 12-off LT keel coolers compatible with Volvo-Penta D9 MH engines each rated at 261kW (crankshaft power) at 1800 rpm ### Lot Information Lot 1 As a result of the replacement of main engines on six vessels, each with two main engines, there is a requirement to fit keel coolers. The new main engines will be the same for all ships, and will be Volvo-Penta D9 MH engines each rated at 261 kW (crankshaft power) at 1800 rpm. As this particular engine type has a 2-circuit keel cooling requirement, one-off High Temperature (HT) keel cooler, and one-off Low Temperature (LT) keel cooler will be required for each engine. Based on this we would therefore require 12-off HT keel coolers and 12-off LT keel coolers for this project. Please see the following design criteria and information. Engine Information - Engine Type: Main Propulsion - Engine Manufacturer: Volvo Penta - Model D9 MH - Rating: 261 kW crankshaft power @ 1800 RPM - Engine Age: New Reduction Gear Information - Make & Model of Gear: Unknown - the gear oil cooling will be included in the LT circuit, so an additional 10.4 kW of heat dissipation capability will need to be included in the L.T. Keel Cooler for gear oil cooling. Vessel Information - Type of Vessel: Ferry - Hull Construction: Steel Painted - Vessel's maximum hull speed at full rated power when undertaking the crossing: 8.5 knots. - Vessel's minimum hull speed when manoeuvring into and away from the slipway: 0-1 knots. Note: At zero vessel speed Voith Propeller will still be rotating causing flow pass the keel cooler. - Keel coolers to be attached to ship's hull as part of a small cofferdam Installation. Environmental Conditions - Maximum Sea Water Temp: 18degC For the H.T. Keel Cooler - Heat to be dissipated by each keel cooler circuit: To be Confirmed by Keel Cooler Manufacturer in their Quotation submission. - Flow rate of freshwater and Volvo Penta Coolant VCS (yellow) in each keel cooler circuit: 156 L/min. (Mix: 40% conc. Volvo Penta coolant and 60% water). - Keel cooler outlet temperature: Held at 65degC. - New keel cooler to fit into a 4,500 mm x 400 mm area of the existing hull plating. Other sizes can be proposed for consideration. - Keel cooler manufacturer to advise pressure drop across keel cooler. To be no greater than 3.5 m head H2O. - Keel Cooler fouling margin: 15% For the L.T. Keel Cooler - Heat to be dissipated by each keel cooler circuit: To be Confirmed by Keel Cooler Manufacturer in their Quotation submission and to include for gear oil cooling (see Reduction Gear Information above). - Flow rate of freshwater and Volvo Penta Coolant VCS (yellow) in each keel cooler circuit: 210 L/min max. (Mix: 20% conc. Volvo Penta coolant and 80%water). - Keel cooler outlet temperature: Held at 35degC. - New keel cooler to fit into a 4,500 mm x 400 mm area of the existing hull plating. Other sizes can be proposed for consideration. - Keel cooler manufacturer to advise pressure drop across keel cooler. To be no greater than 5.0 m head H2O. - Keel Cooler fouling margin: 15%. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN285253 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Jun 2017 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CALMAC FERRIES LIMITED | | Locality | GOUROCK | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA19 1QP | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM33 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire | | Local authority | Inverclyde | | Electoral ward | Inverclyde West | | Westminster constituency | Inverclyde and Renfrewshire West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42511000 - Heat-exchange units and machinery for liquefying air or other gases ## Release History - 6 Jun 2017 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN285253 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN285253 Supply of 12-off HT keel coolers and 12-off LT keel coolers to fit Volvo-Penta D9 MH engines - Supply of 12-off HT keel coolers and 12-off LT keel coolers compatible with Volvo-Penta D9 MH engines each rated at 261kW (crankshaft power) at 1800 rpm ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.calmac.co.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=498520 - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000498520 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
