two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Orkney Islands Council Harbour Authority as part of the Orkney Islands Council (the “Authority”) has a requirement for specialist marine engineering technical advisory consultancy service as part of the wider Orkney Port Master Plan at this stage for two specific projects, the potential developments at Hatston (Orkney Logistics Base) and Scapa Flow (Scapa Deep Water Quay). The technical advisor service is required as projects move towards detailed design and construction, noting that the Orkney Harbour Masterplan Phase 1 contains other projects. Work will include providing advice on these potential developments only ie: Scapa Deep Water Quay and Hatston (Orkney Logistics Base). Workload and timing will be dependent on the progression of each project through the development of the ScotWind offshore windfarm construction programmes, consenting and internal Authority approval processes.
The Authority seeks a suitably qualified and experienced marine engineering consultancy to undertake this Technical Advisory role. A separate tender shall be issued for the provision of a suitably qualified consultancy to undertake financial and commercial advisor services, although the appointed Consultancy would be expected to develop and provide a plan for the construction of projects.
It should be noted that this is not an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for a Consultancy to undertake the detailed design (or Design and Construct) of the project(s) and develop to construction. It is anticipated that the technical adviser consultancy procured under this contract will be engaged as required for the total potential 96 months of the duration of the contract to provide advice on, and work on behalf of the Authority in the development of these projects.
If projects currently planned do not progress further, or do not gain consent then it is possible that work required will be limited. It should be noted that the appointed Consultancy will not be responsible for gaining the consents but will be part of a team that provides / prepares the submission of relevant documents for submission.
