## Summary

The Shetland Islands Council (Utilities) has completed a procurement process titled "Provision of Linkspan Life Extension Works," which falls under the works category. The project involved the refurbishment and life-extension of linkspan decks, specifically on a spare deck at Sella Ness and 13 in-service decks supporting ferry services across Shetland. This procurement was conducted through a selective method, following a restricted procedure. The contract was awarded to Malakoff Limited on 13 September 2019, with a total value of £2,198,627. The procurement is rooted in the Council's commitment to enhancing local infrastructure, providing services within the UKM66 region.

This project presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in civil engineering, marine works, and infrastructure development, particularly those with experience in remote island operations and managing heavy-lift projects. The requirements included fabrication and painting of steel structures, crane operations, and community engagement strategies, making it well-suited for contractors with relevant expertise. SMEs with a proven track record in similar projects, alongside the necessary financial and technical resources, would be particularly competitive in future tenders related to similar works.
