In plain English

Orkney Islands Council wants a contractor to carry out a full refit of MV Eynhallow, a vessel, in 2027. The estimated value is £506,599, and the repairs must run within a fixed window from 26 April to 21 June 2027.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out the 2027 refit and repair services on the vessel MV Eynhallow. • Begin work on Monday 26 April 2027 and complete it by Monday 21 June 2027. • Deliver the work for the estimated value of £506,599.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualifications or certifications, but the work is a major vessel refit on a fixed eight-week schedule, which in practice would likely rule out small businesses without marine repair or shipyard capacity to do the work on time.

Always check the tender documents.
