This procurement, valued at £27 million, focuses on infrastructure improvements, including the construction of overnight berthing structures, slipways, localised road enhancements, and the installation of power infrastructure for electric vessel charging at Ardgour and Nether Lochaber in the Highland region (UKM6, UKM63). The tendering process follows a restricted procedure with electronic submissions accepted via the Public Contracts Scotland website until 7 February 2025 at 12:00 PM. The infrastructure works are scheduled to commence in September 2025, with a contract period of 540 days. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses experienced in large-scale infrastructural projects, particularly those capable of executing complex maritime and road work. Firms with a strong track record in similar public service contracts and technical expertise in dredging, slipway construction, and electric power infrastructure installations will find this project highly suitable. By engaging in this procurement process, businesses can expand their portfolio in public sector works, potentially leading to increased market credibility and future contract opportunities with The Highland Council and other regional agencies. ## Notice Infrastructure improvement works at Corran Ferry to include overnight berthing structure, slipway, localised road improvements, dredging of seabed and power infrastructure for new electric vessel charging on the Ardgour side, and slipway with alignment structure, marshalling area, new toilet building and dredging of seabed on the Nether Lochaber side. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Infrastructure improvement works at Corran Ferry to include overnight berthing structure, slipway, localised road improvements, dredging of seabed and power infrastructure for new electric vessel charging on the Ardgour side, and slipway with alignment structure, marshalling area, new toilet building and dredging of seabed on the Nether Lochaber side..
