The scope of this tender process is the appointment of a contractor to undertake the dry-docking and repair of the THV Alert. This Invitation to Tender process is to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 and current E.U. procurement legislation. A Restricted Procedure Notice, ref. 2013/S XXX-XXXXXX/EN is to be published on Friday 3rd May 2013, in the Official Journal of European Union (OJEU), in respect to this requirement.
