In plain English

Orkney Islands Council wants a contractor to overhaul and repair its vessel MV Earl Sigurd in 2027 (a refit, meaning a major programme of repairs and upgrades). The work is estimated at £210,000, with repairs starting on 4 January 2027 and test runs of the vessel (trials) on 18 January 2027.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out the 2027 refit and repairs on MV Earl Sigurd • Start repairs on Monday 4 January 2027 and have the vessel ready for trials on Monday 18 January 2027 • Complete all items listed in the specification in the attached documentation

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no specific qualifications, but the fixed two-week window between the start of repairs and the trials, along with the requirement to complete every item in the specification, means a small firm without the capacity to start immediately and finish the full scope in that time would be most at risk of being ruled out.

Always check the tender documents.
