Peel Ports issues call for Hunterston contractors
Marine infrastructure contractors are being invited to express their interest in planned upgrades at the Hunterston PARC (Port and Resource Campus) Construction Yard in North Ayrshire, Scotland.
The former coal port is being completely redeveloped by its owners, Peel Ports Clydeport, with much of the site already under option, most notably for an undersea energy cable factory.
The company has already begun statutory consultations and has now issued a periodic indicative notice for contractors to register their interest ahead of the formal procurement process.
“In support of Hunterston’s ongoing operations, and our proposals to transform the construction yard into a facility suitable for servicing offshore renewables, the issuing of this PIN will allow us to explore the market with a view to launching a competitive tender process for the works at a later date,” said James McSporran, Clydeport’s port director at Peel Ports Group.
“Our vision for Hunterston PARC is of a nationally significant energy and marine campus, bringing together leading industry operators, world-class universities and the latest innovators to deliver technological advances in areas such as power generation and aquaculture.”
Contractors are invited to register their interest through the ‘Find a Tender’ platform. Pre-procurement discussions will take place this year an invitation to tender expected later this year or early in 2025.
