Total Quantity or Scope

Orkney Islands Council (“the Council”) has a requirement for a specialist consultancy to undertake Part A: Ferry Replacement Programme and Part B: Orkney Harbours Masterplan (Phase 2), which collectively constitute this commission. The inter-relationship of the lifeline ferry services, and the piers and harbours mean that Part A and Part B are best progressed in tandem, although it is recognised that each will have a number of discrete tasks. The Council welcomes innovation in how Part A and Part B can be best interweaved across the study programme to deliver the best outputs in the most efficient and cohesive manner, both from a community / user perspective and for the Council. There are however some pressing deadlines associated with the Ferry Replacement Programme of works so this must be seen as priority when completing the programme of works. To deliver these requirements the following broad tasks are proposed as an outline method that could be adopted and developed upon. The purpose of the study is as follows: Part A: Ferry Replacement Programme Management Case will comprise the necessary considerations from a naval architect and civil/marine infrastructure perspective to ensure the ferry replacement programme can be optimally guided to deliver on its stated objectives, which are set out through a set of Transport Planning Objectives and Critical Success Factors to guide the Business Case development. As part of the ongoing review of the Strategic Business Case spending objectives have also been reviewed. The Ferry Replacement Programme seeks to procure new assets and associated infrastructure within Orkney Islands Council’s wider remit, covering social, economic and environmental aspects. As such, tailored spending objectives for the project have also been set to guide development and inform the direction of the Part B of this study.

Renewal Options

Bidders have the option to bid for Phase 2 of the project subject to availability of external funding. For the avoidance of doubt the contract value as stated at 11.2.6 is for Part A and Part B of the project only.
