Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Trinity House commissioned works to paint South Stack Lighthouse. The requirement is a painting works contract, covering the preparation and painting of the lighthouse rather than the supply of general painting materials or routine building services. South Stack Lighthouse is the named site for the work, while the procurement records London, United Kingdom as the delivery location. This is a specialist asset-maintenance requirement for a business able to plan and carry out painting works in a lighthouse environment. The buying organisation is Trinity House, the UK body responsible for lighthouses and other aids to navigation. The procurement is classified as painting work and falls within the works category.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026, and the award was made on 30 July 2026. Ian Williams was selected as supplier for £105,685.75 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. The published procurement estimate and awarded value are the same. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The process concerns one painting works requirement for South Stack Lighthouse, with no separate lots or multiple awards recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Trinity House for a substantial, time-limited lighthouse painting project rather than ordinary domestic or small commercial decorating. Competitors would need credible capability in planned external painting and asset maintenance, with the capacity to mobilise a team and complete the works within a defined delivery window. Experience working on exposed, remote, heritage or operational structures would help demonstrate practical understanding of access, surface preparation, weather and site-control challenges, although the procurement data does not identify specific accreditations. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist painting contractor with sufficient workforce, project management and relevant references could be well placed when Trinity House next assesses comparable lighthouse maintenance work.
