It was let through a competitive dialogue procedure, with three bids received.<\/p>\n<p class data-start=\"567\" data-end=\"834\">The contract was signed on 6 March and is expected to be administered under a NEC4 Professional Services Contract. ECI services will include design development, cost planning and statutory consents. A future construction phase may follow, subject to council approval.<\/p>\n<p class data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"1107\">The wider SDWQ scheme would deliver a 600-metre quayside, supporting offshore wind logistics and floating turbine integration. The new facility is intended to address current capacity constraints and accommodate larger vessels.<\/p>\n<p class data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1307\">The total estimated construction cost for the full scheme is \u00a3200m.<\/p>\n<p class data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1307\">The client said it will consider a design-and-build contract under NEC4 or a build-operate-transfer contract for the second stage of the programme.<\/p>\n<p class data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"1515\">The project forms part of the Orkney Harbours Masterplan Phase 1 and is not funded by the EU.
