Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Lighthouse Board, a public authority part of the central government, initiated a procurement process under the title "Ships Spares" with a focus on Thruster Spares in the goods category. The tender process was conducted with limited competition, below the threshold, and the contract has now reached the award stage, as of 23 March 2026. The successful supplier is Kongsberg Maritime Netherlands BV, based in Spijkenisse, Netherlands, with the delivery scheduled for the UK region. The contract for electrical equipment and apparatus, specifically thruster spares, commenced on 2 March 2026 and ended on 4 March 2026, with a gross value of €189,658.50.

This procurement process presents opportunities for businesses operating in the maritime industry, particularly those specialising in ship equipment and spares. Companies with expertise in manufacturing or supplying electrical equipment, especially Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts for marine applications, would find this sector promising for growth. The limited competition procurement method may benefit businesses that have established supply chains and relationships with central government entities, enhancing their chances in future tenders. Large-scale suppliers, such as Kongsberg Maritime Netherlands BV, exemplify the type of business that is well-suited to thrive in this specialised market.
