Summary of the contracting process

Trinity House commissioned painting works at Berry Head Lighthouse, under the requirement titled T0422 - CM117 Berry Head Lighthouse Painting. The scope is described as painting the lighthouse, classified as painting work (CPV 45442100). This is a works contract rather than a supply or general services requirement. The procurement records London, United Kingdom as the delivery location, while the named site is Berry Head Lighthouse. Trinity House is the buying organisation. The opportunity is therefore relevant to painting and specialist building-maintenance contractors able to undertake lighthouse or comparable external structure painting for a public-sector asset owner.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Trinity House used a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026, and the award was made on the same date. Bell Group Limited was selected as supplier for £26,077.48 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the main category was works. The recorded evaluation basis is the restricted procurement procedure; the available information does not state separate price, quality or technical weightings.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for specialist painting of a lighthouse, with a relatively compact delivery scope and a short contract period. Credible future competitors would need the workforce, equipment and practical capability to prepare and paint an exposed lighthouse or similarly demanding external structure, while managing work safely and to the required standard. Relevant experience in marine, coastal, heritage or other difficult-access assets would help demonstrate suitability, but the procurement does not state particular accreditations or qualifications. Smaller painting and maintenance businesses may be well placed to compete because the requirement was expressly considered suitable for SMEs and used a restricted procedure.
