## Summary

The Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (Utility) is inviting tenders for the "Bullhole Berthing Structure" located between Eilean nam Ban and Ross of Mull. This procurement falls under the "works" category and is in the "open" stage. The deadline for submissions is 27th June 2023. The tender opportunity is ideal for businesses involved in construction works particularly related to marine structures.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses to secure a contract for the strengthening and repairs of the berthing structure at Bullhole. The procurement process involves a one-stage exercise, eliminating the need for short-listing. Businesses with expertise in marine construction works and experience in similar projects are well-suited to compete. The contract terms allow for electronic payment, ordering, and invoicing, streamlining the process for successful bidders.

## Notice

2.1.1 Bullhole berthing structure is located between Eilean nam Ban and Ross of Mull, North of Fionnphort (Isle of Mull). It provides good shelter but has restricted anchorage, depth of approx. 3m (chart Datum). The tide runs strong due to the narrow channel. Bullhole is a steel structure anchored to the rock with struts approximately 18m long and 5m apart connected to land via two walkways at either side, being the overall dimension of about 38m. The designer for the berthing structure was Crouch Hogg Waterman. Archive drawings are available from 1991 but these are not as built/construction drawings. There are four structural bents required to provide berthing/mooring for CMAL vessel. There is no available site investigation boreholes or laboratory testing but rockhead is observed close to the seabed. It is assumed therefore that the toe of the four main support structural steel elements are founded directly on sound rockhead.
