Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Trinity House, a central government public authority based in London, involved the awarding of a contract for marine gas oil (MGO) supply to the vessels THV Patricia and THV Galatea. This contract falls under the goods category, specifically related to marine patrol vessels, bunkering services, and ship refuelling services. The procurement method employed was a limited competition, due to being below threshold, and the tender relates specifically to the period starting 23rd February 2026 and ending 9th March 2026. The contract, valued at GBP 125,541.60 gross, was signed on 18th February 2026 and was awarded to ASCO, an SME based in Aberdeen.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in marine fuel supply and related logistical services. Particularly SMEs in the bunkering and refuelling sectors can explore similar public contracts to expand their market presence. With the successful bidder being an SME, it underscores the suitability and competitiveness of similar-sized businesses in securing contracts within central government procurement processes. Businesses looking to compete in this area should leverage their expertise in marine services and fuel operations to potentially engage with entities like Trinity House in future tenders.
