Summary of the contracting process

The Corporation of Trinity House commissioned dry-docking and refurbishment services for Lightvessel 07. The work covers taking the lightvessel into dry dock and completing the required repair and refurbishment activity, with the stated purpose of returning the vessel to serviceable condition. This is a marine maintenance and vessel repair requirement, classified under CPV 50246100 for dry-docking services. Delivery is associated with London. The procurement is categorised as a service contract and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It would therefore be relevant to shipyards, marine engineering companies and specialist vessel repair contractors able to provide dry-docking facilities and carry out refurbishment work on a lightvessel. The buyer is Trinity House, the organisation responsible for the requirement.

This procurement has been awarded following a restricted procedure using a selective procurement method. The tender closed on 10 July 2026, and the contract was awarded on that date to Southampton Marine Services Limited. The awarded contract value is £408,069. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 December 2026. The procurement has completed at tender level, and the award is active. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The published requirement was for a single dry-docking and refurbishment service for Lightvessel 07, evaluated through the restricted-procedure process. The award covers the full stated contract value rather than separate awards or lots. Trinity House is the buying organisation and Southampton Marine Services Limited is the appointed supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Trinity House for specialist dry-docking and refurbishment of an operational lightvessel. A credible competitor for comparable work would need access to suitable marine dry-dock facilities, experienced ship-repair personnel and the ability to manage a concentrated repair programme from docking through refurbishment and completion. Relevant capability is likely to include inspection, structural and mechanical repair, marine systems work, project planning, safe vessel handling and quality-controlled delivery, although the requirement specifically establishes competence as the threshold for the contractor. The successful supplier’s SME status also shows that this type of public-sector marine maintenance requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Businesses with proven lightvessel, workboat or comparable marine repair experience would be well placed.
