Provision of Inter-Island Air Services for Orkney Outer North Isles
Published
Value
Description
Orkney Islands Council (the Authority) has a requirement for the provision of an Inter Island Air Service operating to the six Outer North Isles of Papa Westray, North Ronaldsay, Westray, Sanday, Stronsay and Eday under a Public Service Obligation (PSO), which establishes the minimum frequencies and sets the maximum fare levels provided to each of the isles. Lot 1: Orkney Islands Council (the Authority) has a requirement for the provision of an Inter Island Air Service operating to the six Outer North Isles under a Public Service Obligation (PSO), which establishes the minimum frequencies and sets the maximum fare levels provided to each of the isles. The maintenance of scheduled air services between Orkney Mainland (Kirkwall) and the islands of Papa Westray, North Ronaldsay, Westray, Sanday, Stronsay, and Eday are essential to counter the islands peripherality, fragile economic base and depopulation of the islands. There is no rapid alternative means of transport to Kirkwall on the Orkney Mainland, and for onward connections with the Scottish Mainland. The designated services, which are currently operated by the air carrier Loganair Ltd, are essential for the maintenance of the economic and social fabric of the islands. They are used for access to essential services (e.g. educational, financial, commercial, professional, advisory and health) which cannot be provided locally; and are also used for tourism. Should these air services be withdrawn the upkeep of the airfields could be placed in jeopardy and this in turn would put at risk the vitally important air ambulance service (currently operated by helicopter) which provides the essential emergency medical link. For North Ronaldsay and Papay Westray these services are defined as lifeline services in terms of the Scottish Government criteria. In recognition of the importance of these services, subsidy is made available by Orkney Islands Council (“the Council”) to subsidise the Designated Services.. The contract value as noted at 11.2.6 is in relation to Option 1 the current services and for the contract duration of 48 months. An estimated contract value of 8,890,243 GBP is estimated to include the enhanced services. Take up of Option 2 and 3 will be subject to a Council decision following subject to Committee approval.
