Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Trinity House, a public authority within the central government located in London, involved the procurement of marine gas oil (MGO) for two of their vessels, THV Patricia and THV Galatea. The contract covered refuelling services and spanned from 23rd February to 9th March 2026. The tender falls within the goods category, specifically targeting marine patrol vessels and related bunkering services. ASCO, located in Dyce, Aberdeen, was awarded the contract via a limited competition method deemed below threshold. The procurement has progressed past the award stage with the final contract signed on 18th February 2026, and an active contract status marked from 23rd February 2026.

This tender presents business growth opportunities by servicing the needs of the maritime sector, specifically in ship refuelling and bunkering services—a lucrative niche for suppliers in marine fuel. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in marine fuel logistics or possessing a keen interest in extending their services to governmental bodies, are well-placed to compete for similar contracts. With ASCO successfully winning this contract, similar companies in Aberdeen or other maritime hubs could consider gearing up to approach central government tenders, offering their specialised capabilities to meet stringent government requirements in marine fuel services.
