CMAL intends to award the HOA3 to CFL following the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition under regulation 48 of the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016. Regulation 48(1)(c)(ii) is applicable in this case due to the unique position of CFL as the lifeline ferry services operator under CHFS3, due to which competition for HOA3 is absent for technical reasons.
Both HOA3 and CHFS3 involve the performance of harbour based duties at CMAL harbours:
The harbour operating duties include: assessing navigational safety in the harbour, vessels mooring operations, operating pier equipment, inspecting harbour assets and reporting on defects, management of navigation, collection of third party harbour charges, liaison with third party tenants and harbour users, housekeeping (including cleaning slipways, cleaning ladders, weed-killing, septic tank emptying, potable water testing), managing waste at the harbours (generated on the harbour and from vessels), dealing with dangerous goods in harbour areas, managing harbour user conflict, managing harbour health and safety including permits to work, and acting as the first point of contact to deal with harbour emergencies and security issues. These duties are allocated to CFL under HOA3.
The harbour based ferry operations duties include: managing ferry bookings (including sale of tickets), checking-in customers, face-to-face dealings with ferry customers, marshalling ferry traffic and pedestrians and manging ferry disruptions. These duties are allocated to CFL under CHFS3.
Currently, and historically, the harbour operating duties and the harbour based ferry operations duties have always been delivered by the same operator entity, with the same workforce deployed to perform all the duties. Under this arrangement, individual staff members perform dual roles covering both harbour operations and ferry operations. For the reasons explained below, this is the only reasonable and viable means of delivering the services.
CFL is the current incumbent operator of both the harbour operations (under a HOA2 contract awarded by CMAL on 22 August 2016) and the lifeline ferry services (under a CHFS2 contract award by The Scottish Ministers on 22 August 2016).

description:
This notice concerns the award of a harbour operating agreement, known as HOA3, by Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) to CalMac Ferries Limited (CFL).
CMAL is the statutory harbour authority at certain harbours and other marine facilities and is responsible for the operation, management, maintenance and improvement of them.
CFL is due to be appointed by Transport Scotland on behalf of Scottish Ministers as the operator of lifeline ferry services in the Clyde and Hebrides, under a ferry services contract known as CHFS3. Please refer to this notice published by Transport Scotland for further details: Notice ID: MAY529943. The CHFS3 services will call at the CMAL harbours.
CMAL is awarding the HOA3 to CFL because it is the operator of CHFS3 and because of the need to have the same operator for both the ferry services and the harbour operations as explained in this notice.

description:
CFL is and will continue to be the operator of the lifeline ferry services under CHFS3 and is the only economic operator that could conceivably deliver HOA3. This is due to the technical arrangements for the workforce, under which individual staff members perform dual roles. CFL will have a workforce under CHFS3 that is responsible for delivery of the harbour based ferry operations duties. In order to perform those duties effectively, the individual staff members must be based on the ground in each harbour. The nature of these lifeline ferry services means that many harbours are in remote and rural locations. It is not possible for one individual to adequately perform those duties at multiple harbours.
Many of the harbours are served by few ferries per day (or week), with few other harbour users, and so open only for limited hours a day based around the scheduled lifeline ferry services. Individual staff members based on the ground at those harbours therefore have capacity to perform harbour operator duties as well as the harbour based ferry operations duties. The services (harbours and ferries) have always been delivered in tandem, and existing staff members have the skills and experience to perform a dual role.
In circumstances where CFL already has a workforce on the ground in the harbours to perform the ferry services under CHFS3, with the existing capacity to perform the harbour operator duties under HOA3, it is inconceivable that any third party operator could compete to perform the HOA3 services.
CMAL has considered whether a reasonable alternative or substitute (to appointing CFL) exists for the delivery of HOA3. It has concluded that there is no such alternative or substitute. While in theory it would be possible for a third party harbour operator to deploy its own second workforce to perform the harbour operations (alongside the CFL workforce performing the ferry operations), in practice this would be ruinously inefficient, requiring a substantial increase (near doubling) of the overall workforce in the harbour, significant under-utilisation and excess capacity in individual staff members (who would be prevented from performing a dual role), and significant staff accommodation challenges at harbours where available space is already constrained. While the potential for a transfer of certain staff from CFL to a third party harbour operator might potentially create a level of competition, this would in itself be an artificial solution that would come at the cost of inefficiency and unworkability, because CFL would then have to recruit to back-fill roles (including attracting new staff at remote locations) and this would not address the fundamental concern of having an inflated over-sized harbour based workforce with significant under-utilisation and excess capacity across two operators and significant physical constraints for in-harbour accommodation.
The absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement but instead reflects the reality of how these important lifeline ferry services can continue to be delivered in an effective, efficient, sustainable and financially responsible way.

title: Southwest Cetacean Mitigation Trial

description: The Buyer proposes a 6-month contract with the successful Tenderer(s), with the option for four additional 6-month extensions if ongoing services are required.

description: Data collection for the southwest cetacean mitigation trial began in 2019 but was simplified to test only one pinger type (acoustic deterrent) in May 2024. Remote Electronic Monitoring has been used as the primary data collection method, alongside skipper self-reporting. For this Lot, we are procuring REM analysis services only.

title: North Sea Whitefish Fishery Seabird Bycatch Mitigation Trial

description: Following outreach to the fishing industry for applications to work with the Clean Catch consortium on a sensitive species bycatch monitoring and mitigation trial, the North Sea mixed whitefish fishery, operating out of Peterhead, Scotland, was selected. The fishery which operates >120mm single and pair trawl gear, identified seabird bycatch/interactions in their application, namely gannets in the cod end and potentially seabird warp strikes, and their interest is trialling bird scaring lines. Although seabirds are the focus of this trail, as with the southwest cetacean bycatch mitigation trial, information about all sensitive species bycatch will be collected as part of the monitoring.

description:
Clean Catch, funded by Defra, is a collaborative programme that is key to the UK Government's ambitions to help minimise and - where possible - eliminate bycatch of sensitive marine species, as set out under the ecosystem objective of the Fisheries Act and elaborated in the UK Marine Wildlife Bycatch Mitigation Initiative (BMI). Originally established in 2019, Clean Catch has now entered a second three year "expansion" phase, stewarded by a consortium of partners (Cefas, Arribada Initiative, MMO Consulting, Mindfully Wired Communications (MWC) and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL)) which runs until the end of October 2026. The overarching objectives of the current phase are to expand its scope and trials for monitoring and mitigation of bycatch and enhance its role in knowledge exchange within and beyond the UK.
Cefas are leading the delivery of two Clean Catch monitoring and mitigation trials, the first is the "Southwest cetacean bycatch mitigation trial in inshore gillnets" which started in May 2024 and the second is the "North Sea whitefish fishery seabird bycatch mitigation trial" which is currently in the co-design phase with the Clean Catch consortium and the vessel owners, skippers and Producer Organisation. The trials are for research and development purposes and not for compliance monitoring. Both trials have a local Fishery Liaison officer assigned to them to ensure regular and effective communication between the consortium and trialists. Cefas will provide contact details and an introduction to the Fishery Liaison officer on Contract award.
Data on sensitive species bycatch associated with participating vessels in the Southwest cetacean mitigation trial is primarily collected using Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) and a skipper self-reporting smartphone application (the Clean Catch app). Although in the co-design phase of the North Sea whitefish fishery seabird bycatch mitigation trial, it is anticipated that REM will be the primarily scientific data collection tool. Whilst each trial is focused on mitigating the bycatch of a specific taxa (cetaceans or seabirds) information about all sensitive species bycatch events is recorded as part of the monitoring during the trial.

riskDetails:
REM can't be installed on all vessels due to vessel constraints once the contract has been agreed - The overall outputs of the project may be impacted if REM can only be utilised on a selection of vessels. All vessel specifications are different and any issues won't arise until visiting the vessel in person. Risk is assigned to both Buyer and Supplier.
Data flows are difficult to establish due to size or software used - This may impact the timeline as we would need to address before we can send over data. Risk is assigned to Buyer.
