UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process summarised involves the purchase of 21 red lanterns (LED Sabik M840) by Trinity House, a central government public authority in the UK. The process was carried out under the title STA1489 - Hydrosphere and is classified in the 'goods' industry category. The procurement location is London, UK, and it is at the 'award' stage, with Hydrosphere selected as the supplier. The contract is active, with the period running from 11th June 2025 to 21st July 2025. This procurement used a 'limited' method, indicating a below-threshold competition. Key legal references include UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents opportunities particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in supplying LEDs and other lanterns, as they align well with the requirements of Trinity House. The opportunity for growth is enhanced for businesses that are able to meet niche technical specifications such as the LED Sabik M840. Companies with relevant expertise in maritime safety and navigation equipment are especially well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, given the specialised nature of this procurement. This also serves as a case study for how SMEs can establish relationships within the central government procurement framework.
