## Summary

The Orkney Islands Council has successfully moved to the contract award stage for the "Orkney Community Wind Farms - Turbine Supply Agreement & Full Service Agreement," a public procurement initiative focused on the supply and servicing of wind turbine generators across three sites: Quanterness, Hoy, and Faray. The procurement, falling under the industry category of general public services, is being led by the Orkney Islands Council, a regional or local authority based in Kirkwall, UKM65. The process, employing a selective procurement method through competitive dialogue, has progressed from an active tendering phase on 12th June 2024, through to the contract agreement signed on 26th June 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £39,770,838 GBP, includes a 28-year period for the supply and service agreements, reflecting a substantial commitment to renewable energy in the Orkney region.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the design, supply, installation, and maintenance of wind energy systems, particularly those with expertise in large-scale turbine operations. Nordex UK Ltd., a large-scale supplier based in Manchester, has been awarded the contract, showcasing the appeal to major enterprises within the renewables sector. The comprehensive nature of the agreements, covering everything from transportation logistics to long-term operation and maintenance, opens avenues for specialised subcontractors such as logistics, crane supply, and installation teams, who can collaborate under the stipulated subcontracting framework. Businesses attuned to fostering renewable energy projects while promoting sustainability and community benefits could find this procurement process a fertile ground for expansion and collaboration.

OIC may choose to enter into TSAs and FSAs for Quanterness and Hoy only first with an option to enter into a further TSA and FSA for Faray at a later date.
