This tender falls under the "works" category within the construction industry, focusing on marine infrastructure in Argyll and the Islands. Currently in the planning stage, it is designed to establish a framework with contractors for maintenance and emergency repairs of marine assets. Key future dates include the release of the invitation to tender by 6th October 2025. The procurement aims to cover multiple regions including North, East, South, and West Argyll, organised into various lots with specific geographic focuses. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in marine civil works, including underwater and overwater construction as well as inspections, to actively contribute and expand their operations. Ideal candidates would be experienced contractors capable of handling both routine maintenance and emergency repairs of marine infrastructure such as piers and slipways. This framework suits businesses with expertise in using workboats and other means for marine construction, providing them a chance to secure long-term work across multiple locations in Argyll and the Islands, potentially enhancing their market presence and fostering growth within the public sector. ## Notice Argyll and Bute Council owns and maintains a variety of marine infrastructure throughout Argyll and the Islands. These vary from major roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) terminals to remote slipways. They vary in construction from large and complex concrete piled or sheet piled structures to traditional open timber piers and concrete slipways. We seek to arrange a framework with experienced contractors to assist in our marine asset maintenance. This is anticipated to involve carrying out appropriate inspections and repairs to the infrastructure as required along with a facility to manage emergency repairs. ### Lot Information Lot 1A - Underwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - North Argyll Underwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - North Argyll Lot 1B - Underwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - East Argyll Underwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - East Argyll Lot 1C - Underwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - South Argyll Underwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - South Argyll Lot 1D - Underwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - West Argyll Underwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - West Argyll Lot 2A - Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Workboat - North Argyll Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Workboat - North Argyll Lot 2B - Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Workboat - East Argyll Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Workboat - East Argyll Lot 2C - Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Workboat - South Argyll Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Workboat - South Argyll Lot 2D - Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Workboat - West Argyll Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Workboat - West Argyll Lot 3A - Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Other Means - North Argyll Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Other Means - North Argyll Lot 3B - Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Other Means - East Argyll Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Other Means - East Argyll Lot 3C - Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Other Means - South Argyll Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Other Means - South Argyll Lot 3D - Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Other Means - West Argyll Overwater Marine Civil Works (& Inspections) - Works Requiring Other Means - West Argyll Lot 4A - Land Based Marine Civil Works - North Argyll Land Based Marine Civil Works - North Argyll Lot 4B - Land Based Marine Civil Works - East Argyll Land Based Marine Civil Works - East Argyll Lot 4C - Land Based Marine Civil Works - South Argyll Land Based Marine Civil Works - South Argyll Lot 4D - Land Based Marine Civil Works - West Argyll Land Based Marine Civil Works - West Argyll ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539032 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 6 Oct 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL | | Locality | LOCHGILPHEAD | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA31 8RT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Argyll and Bute | | Electoral ward | Mid Argyll | | Westminster constituency | Argyll, Bute and South Lochaber | | Delivery location | TLM63 Lochaber, Skye and Lochalsh, Arran and Cumbrae, and Argyll and Bute | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45244000 - Marine construction works ## Release History - 11 Sep 2025 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539032 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539032 Marine Works Framework 2026-2030 - Argyll and Bute Council owns and maintains a variety of marine infrastructure throughout Argyll and the Islands.
