## Summary

The Orkney Islands Council (Harbour Authority) is currently in the tender stage for the procurement of a 24-metre steel-hulled landing craft type vessel. This procurement falls under the goods category related to port activities and is taking place in the Orkney Islands region, specifically Kirkwall, UK. The procurement is conducted through an open procedure with a tender ID of OIC/PROC/2198. Interested parties must submit their electronic bids by the deadline on 22nd September 2025, at 12:00 PM. The contract awarding process is set to begin immediately following the deadline, suggesting a swift turnaround.

This tender offers an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacturing or refurbishment of maritime vessels, particularly those with experience in constructing steel-hulled workboats. The procurement budget is set at a maximum of £1,400,000 GBP, providing substantial commercial potential for the successful bidder. SMEs specialising in the supply of second-hand or retrofitted vessels could find this tender particularly appealing given the specific requirements for a landing craft that also supports freight movement and has limited passenger capacity. The scope for swift delivery further necessitates well-organised logistics and project management capabilities.

## Notice

The Authority seeks to secure the purchase of a 24 metre steel-hulled landing craft type vessel.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This procurement exercise seeks to secure the purchase of a ~24-metre steel-hulled landing craft type vessel. The proposal to purchase a ~24-metre steel-hulled landing craft aims to strengthen service resilience by introducing an additional vessel capable of supporting freight movement and providing contingency cover in the event of breakdowns or unplanned maintenance elsewhere in the fleet. While the vessel will primarily be a workboat, it should be able to accommodate a limited number of passengers--up to 12--where appropriate. However, this would not be intended for routine passenger service and would not therefore address accessibility challenges for people with restricted mobility.. The anticipated Contract Duration from award of contract to delivery of the vessel, will be one month and must be completed by the end of March 2026.
