## Summary

Shetland Islands Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Energy Transition Adviser and Project Coordinator for ORION". This contract, concluded on 7 January 2025, falls under the general public services category and covers Shetland Islands, particularly Sullom Voe.

Key deadlines included the tender submission by 8 November 2021 and contract signing on 7 March 2022. The contract is valued at £49,680 GBP for an initial six-month period, with potential extensions up to three years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the energy sector, particularly those specialising in project coordination, strategic planning, and networking within major energy transition projects.
