This project fell under the category of general public services and was located in Kirkwall, UKM65. The tender, initially active with a value of GBP 200,000, was fully awarded to Dales Marine Services with a contract signed on 12 June 2025 for GBP 301,805. The main timeline for repairs was from early August, with completion required by 27 August 2025 to align with the class renewal due on 18 August 2025. This contracting process provides notable opportunities for SMEs, particularly those experienced in maritime repair services, as demonstrated by the award to Dales Marine Services. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in maritime and vessel maintenance services. Companies with expertise in docking, class renewals, and vessel refit services stand to benefit from similar procurement processes. Given the open procurement method employed by the Orkney Islands Council, businesses should be prepared to engage in competitive bidding. SMEs have shown they can compete effectively in this space, notably when they possess niche skills or experience relevant to maritime operations. The structured timeline and specific vessel needs within this tender present a clear framework for capable suppliers to plan and execute effective project strategies, potentially leading to future contract opportunities. ## Notice 2025 vessel refit services of MT Thor of Scapa with repairs to commence early August 2025.
