To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the Clyde and Hebrides ferry services tendering process.
The answer
The Clyde and Hebrides ferry services tender remains on course for announcement of the successful operator at the end of May 2016.
The Independent Procurement Reference Panel’s review of the initial invitation to tender was published on 3 November 2015 and stated that the tender process was being undertaken in a fair, open and transparent manner. I am pleased to advise members that the panel’s review of the interim invitation to tender is being published today (17 December 2015) and confirms that this remains the case.
