Description

BAEs Naval Ships are outsourcing a scope of steelwork fabrication to build yards across the UK. These will range from three single units to a consolidated block. Due to the size and weight of these, seaborne transportation will be required. BAEs Naval Ships are looking to hear from any transportation subcontractor's that would be interested in undertaking this scope of work.
The three single units will be transported to a quayside where they will then be required to be loaded out to a suitable vessel prior to onwards shipping to BAEs Naval Ship's Govan site. The units will then be required to be discharged at the Govan site.
The consolidated block will be built in a number of build cradles. It will require transportation to the quayside via SPMTs. The block will be required to be loaded out to a suitably sized barge and then be secured for onwards transportation to BAEs Naval Ship's Govan site. Upon arrival, the block will be required to be loaded in at Govan and transported to its final location within the yard.
The Supplier is to provide the assets, suitably qualified labour, supervision, inspection engineering and project management to undertake the transportation scope as detailed above.
The supplier is expected to be able to work flexibly, proactively and innovatively, recognising opportunity to improve efficiency and re-prioritise where appropriate. This includes particularly close working with a number of stakeholders.
