Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "22NM Lantern Solution" was managed by the Northern Lighthouse Board, a sub-central government authority based in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. This tender, which falls under the industry categories of lanterns and lighthouse services, aimed to procure a marine-suitable lantern system to be delivered to Harwich, Essex. Initiated in the tender stage as an open competition, the process had key timelines with the enquiry period ending on 19th June 2025, and the tender submission deadline on 26th June 2025. However, the procurement was subsequently cancelled on 15th July 2025 due to a change in circumstances. The anticipated contract period was to run from 31st July 2025 to 31st October 2025. The process was valued at £40,000, excluding VAT, with the main category being goods.

This tender represented potential growth opportunities primarily for businesses in the production of specialised marine equipment, specifically those manufacturing synchronised lantern systems suitable for harsh environments. Firms excelling in technical innovation and accuracy in photometric testing would have been well-positioned to compete. Engaging in such procurement processes helps businesses expand their portfolios in government contracts, build relationships within governmental infrastructure projects, and potentially secure more substantial projects in the future. The open competitive nature of the tender provided a transparent entry point for businesses to demonstrate their capabilities in providing high-quality, cost-effective solutions.
