CalMac Ferries Limited is looking for a supplier to collect and process grease, fats, and oil waste from grease trap machines on 6 new ferry vessels. This is an ongoing waste management service contract for their new fleet operations.
Requirements
- Supplier must be experienced in grease, fats, and oil waste collection and reprocessing
- Service must be suitable for maritime/vessel operations
- Supplier must be able to service 6 major new vessels
- No specific certifications, insurance, or qualifications explicitly stated — check full tender documents for environmental compliance and maritime safety requirements
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Collect grease, fats, and oil waste from grease trap machines on board 6 new CalMac vessels
- Reprocess collected grease, fats, and oil waste (likely for recycling or disposal)
- Provide regular collection service during vessel operations
- Maintain compliance with maritime and environmental regulations for hazardous waste handling
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a waste management services contract — the buyer needs ongoing collection and processing, not a one-off project. Look for contract duration, frequency of collections, and payment terms in the full documents.
- 2Three slightly different reference numbers are listed (itt_64335, itt_64313, itt_64336) — clarify with CalMac whether these are duplicate notices or separate tenders before applying.
- 3The notice mentions 'experienced Suppliers' — be ready to prove your track record. Prepare case studies or references from similar maritime or vessel-based waste collection work.
- 4This involves hazardous waste (oils and fats from industrial equipment). Check that the full tender specifies all environmental permits, disposal routes, and regulatory compliance needed in your region.
- 5Budget for logistics — you'll need to arrange regular access to 6 vessels. Ask in the tender documents where vessels are based, how often collection is needed, and whether CalMac provides access or if you arrange it.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not a waste reprocessor but a collector, consider partnering with a licensed recycling firm to handle the reprocessing side — this is a consortium opportunity.
- Check whether CalMac scores 'social value' in their evaluation criteria (community benefit, local employment, environmental impact). Small businesses often score well here if you can demonstrate local jobs or waste reduction innovation.
- Vessel access and scheduling are critical — ask early whether collection slots are fixed (e.g. weekly Tuesdays) or flexible, and whether you need vessel-specific training or marine safety certifications (like STCW or maritime induction).
