Description

The Island of St Helena, an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom (UK), covers 47 square miles in the South Atlantic Ocean and is over 4,000 miles from the UK, 700 miles southeast of Ascension Island, and 1,700 miles from Cape Town, South Africa.
A new wharf in Rupert's Bay is currently under construction, which will mean that for the first time vessels of a suitable size will be able to dock alongside. The wharf will be completed by early 2016; however it is critical for the surrounding supporting infrastructure to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible within the current space constraints within Rupert's Valley.
The Saint Helena Government (SHG) therefore invites Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from interested Consultancy Service Providers for the Planning, Feasibility, Preliminary and Detailed Design, Tender Management and Contract Supervision (broadly RIBA Stages 0-6) relating to the provision of a Sea Port Cargo Handling and Logistics Facility in Rupert's Valley, along with suggestive business and operation models.
EOI's should be from established multi-disciplinary consultancies or consortiums that have proven expertise in the design of port associated logistics and infrastructure, specifically with regards to the efficient layout and planning of such a facility within a confined site plan. The required facility shall be capable of handling Containerised Goods (approximately 150 - 200 FCL Twenty foot containers (TEU) and 150 - 200 empty TEU, or a mix of Forty foot (FEU) and TEU of the same overall volume of 300 - 400 TEU), as well as bulk/ bagged consignments, and of integrating operational activities including Customs & Excise, Bio Security, Port Management and Immigration. The scope shall be combined with the development of relevant operating models and infrastructure for container stripping and the development of warehousing facilities for both the Private and Public Sectors.
This EOI is being issued as a precursor to an Invitation to Tender for the Consultancy Work and acceptance of any EOI's will be subject to the provision and appraisal of a Suitability Assessment Questionnaire. Registration of initial interest and for details regarding specific requirements and the Suitability Assessment Questionnaire, shall be submitted by email to Noleen Herne, Corporate Procurement Assistant at noleen.herne@sainthelena.gov.sh and shall be returned to the same email address on or before 26th June 2015, up to 15:00 Hrs (GMT).
