In plain English

Shetland Islands Council is looking for a contractor to provide electrical and mechanical maintenance services across their marine facilities, including oil loading jetties, ports, harbours, ferry terminals, and vessels. The contractor must be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for emergency call-outs and work safely in high-hazard environments.

What the buyer wants

• Provide planned and emergency electrical and mechanical maintenance and repairs across multiple marine sites • Operate within high-hazard environments and comply with strict safety systems including permit-to-work procedures • Deliver a 24-hour, 365-day emergency response service with on-call availability

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract requires 24/7 emergency availability and experience working in high-hazard marine environments (like oil terminals), which rules out most sole traders and small businesses without dedicated on-call teams and offshore/marine technical expertise.
