Description:
The Northern Lighthouse Board is procuring a Cable Management System for shore-to-ship power to support its vessel NLV Pole Star at the Oban base, focusing on environmental sustainability and operational efficiency while addressing specific site challenges.
The Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) is seeking to procure a Cable Management System to enable shore-to-ship power (cold ironing) for its vessel NLV Pole Star at the Oban operational base. The requirement forms part of NLB’s wider commitment to environmental sustainability and reduced emissions through the provision of onshore electrical power to vessels while berthed. The scope includes the design, supply, installation, integration, and commissioning of a safe, reliable, and operationally efficient cable management solution capable of delivering shore power under site-specific conditions. The system must address key operational challenges, including tidal variation, quay-side constraints, compatibility with existing infrastructure, and minimisation of disruption to ongoing base activities. Suppliers are expected to provide a robust and scalable solution, potentially based on proven or off-the-shelf technologies, that ensures: Safe and efficient cable handling and deployment between shore and vessel Compliance with relevant marine, electrical, and safety standards Minimal requirement for significant civil works (e.g. quay strengthening) Integration with existing shore power infrastructure The estimated contract value is approximately £500,000, with an initial 2-year contract term (plus optional 1-year extension). The procurement will be awarded using a Best Technically Affordable (BTA) approach, prioritising high-quality, technically compliant solutions within a fixed budget.
