Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process led by TRINITY HOUSE, a central government public authority based in London, concluded with an award to Frank Armitt & Sons Ltd. The contract, titled "MGO - THV PATRICIA - FRANK ARMITT & SONS LTD", pertains to the industry category of marine patrol vessels and associated bunkering and ship refuelling services within the United Kingdom. The procurement, conducted under a limited competition method due to its below-threshold status, reached completion with the contract being signed on 8th January 2026, and the work scheduled for the 13th of January. This award now marks the conclusion of the procurement stage with the contract being in an active status.

This tender provides ample opportunities for businesses specialising in marine vessels and refuelling services, promoting growth potential for suppliers with capabilities in these areas. As this project involved specific marine services, businesses like Frank Armitt & Sons Ltd, which operate as an SME with experience in such sectors, were well-positioned to leverage their expertise. The limited competition nature suggests that businesses familiar with niche public sector contracts could effectively navigate and secure similar opportunities, enhancing their portfolio and establishing long-term government partnerships. The gross value of the contract was approximately £39,331.20, indicating substantial economic engagement for the supplier.
