Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporation of Trinity House procured dry-docking and repair services for Lightfloat 03, a lightship or floating navigational aid requiring work in a marine dry dock. The requirement covered the vessel’s dry dock stay and associated repair work, under the service category for dry-docking services (CPV 50246100). Delivery was in London, United Kingdom. This is a specialist marine engineering and ship-repair requirement, relevant to contractors with suitable dry-docking facilities, marine repair capability and experience working on floating assets. The buying organisation was The Corporation of Trinity House, the public body responsible for the procurement and use of the repaired vessel.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a restricted procedure, meaning suppliers were selected to participate before tenders were evaluated. The contract was awarded to Southampton Marine Services on 13 July 2026 for £299,505. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. Trinity House identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The tender submission deadline was 13 July 2026. The requirement was evaluated as a service procurement for dry-docking and repair of Lightfloat 03; the available outcome records show one active award to Southampton Marine Services. The awarded value is the same as the estimated procurement value, with no separate lots identified.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement from Trinity House for specialist dry-docking and repair of a lightfloat in London. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to an appropriate marine dry dock, competent ship-repair and marine engineering personnel, and the capacity to plan and complete vessel repair work within a controlled operational window. Relevant experience with lightships, lightfloats or comparable floating navigational assets would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where work involves coordinating dry-docking, inspection, repairs and return to service. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a capable smaller marine services business could compete where it can demonstrate the required facilities, technical competence, quality controls and delivery capacity.
