Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved Trinity House, a central government public authority in London, for replacing a Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat for its vessel, THV Alert. This project falls under the industry category of boats and had a limited competition procurement method due to its below-threshold status. The procurement stage was at the award phase as of 5th February 2026. The awarded contract began on 10th February 2026 and is expected to conclude by 31st March 2026, with a contract value of £67,491.16. The procurement was designed to replace a unit that was beyond economical repair, highlighting a need for modernisation in their fleet of vessels.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of boats, particularly those with capabilities in producing Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats. Companies like small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in creating durable and innovative marine solutions could greatly benefit from such contracts, as evidenced by the award going to Quinquari Marine, a SME based in St Davids. Businesses not only gain financially through contract fulfilment but can also enhance their reputation by partnering with notable public authorities such as Trinity House.
