Bids by: 3pm, Thursday 3 December 2026

Competition

Usually high: a median of 7 bids per contract for construction contracts in this region (from 551 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £4,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

KBS Maritime is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Framework for complete third-party crane services in support of Alongside Services operations. The Framework will supplement, not replace, KBS internal Heavy Lift capability and will provide planned surge, operational resilience, out-of-hours support, concurrent-lift capacity and specialist crane capability. This Framework will also cover the supply of Crane Operatives where required.
