The works are intended to improve passenger embarkation and disembarkation by cutting checks into the concrete slipway, alongside repairs to the slipway surface. All works will take place within the tidal range, so the requirement combines concrete construction and repair with marine or tidal working conditions. The procurement is for works rather than goods or routine services, with delivery focused on the Feolin area of the Isle of Jura. The relevant construction classification is CPV 45262300, covering specialised concrete work. This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced an intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. The expected arrangement is for a single contractor, through one planned lot, with suppliers expected to propose a suitable methodology for carrying out the works. The council expects the next notice to be published on 1 September 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a deadline for responding. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available information sets the scope and intended delivery location, but does not set out a contract value, budget, contract duration, tender deadline, award criteria or eligibility requirements. The requirement is likely to suit civil engineering and specialist concrete contractors with experience of marine infrastructure, slipways, tidal construction and repair work. Relevant capability includes assessing and working safely around changing tides, preparing a practical methodology for access and sequencing, cutting or forming concrete features in an existing slipway, and repairing concrete surfaces exposed to marine conditions. Contractors will need to plan work at an island location and account for the operational needs of a passenger ferry facility, including access, logistics and minimising disruption. Firms that can provide an end-to-end delivery team for a single-contractor arrangement should monitor the procurement as it develops and prepare evidence of comparable tidal or marine concrete projects. ## Notice Argyll and Bute Council seek to appoint a Single Contractor to complete Various Marine Concrete Works for Jura.
