The work covers the vessel’s steering gear, thickness checks, electrical systems, passenger saloon and other specified repairs; the specification also includes steering-flat and vessel drawings, alongside a compliance statement and proposal requirements. The detailed work is set out in the procurement specification. Delivery is in Orkney, with the vessel’s refit taking place there. This is a marine engineering and vessel-maintenance requirement, rather than a purchase of a vessel or general transport services. Contractors with shipyard or marine repair capability across the listed disciplines may find the scope relevant; the particular repair tasks and standards are set out in the specification. The buyer invited offers through a single-lot, open procedure, with electronic tender submission. The tender deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bid opening was scheduled for 14:00 UTC that day. The contract period is 26 April to 21 June 2027, when repairs are to be carried out and completed. The stated estimated value is £506,599. Variants are not allowed, and bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. Selection covers suitability, economic and technical criteria, with the relevant criteria to be provided through the Scottish Single Procurement Document module. No separate award-scoring basis is set out in the process details. This opportunity is suited to marine engineering firms and vessel-refit contractors able to coordinate work across steering gear, electrical systems, structural thickness checks and passenger accommodation, as well as associated repair tasks. It calls for a team capable of completing a multi-discipline refit within a defined programme and working to a vessel-specific specification. Suppliers will need to address suitability, economic and technical selection requirements through the Scottish Single Procurement Document. The scope may also suit a lead contractor able to manage specialist subcontractors across the different work areas. The technical specification, drawings, compliance statement and proposal requirements will help suppliers assess the precise repair methods, resources and evidence needed before deciding whether to pursue the work. ## Notice 2027 Vessel refit services of MV Eynhallow with repairs to commence on Monday 26 April 2027 and to be completed by Monday 21 June 2027 ### Lot Information Lot 1 The 2027 Vessel refit services of MV Eynhallow with repairs to commence on Monday 26 April 2027 and to be completed by Monday 21 June 2027.
