UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporation of Trinity House, a central government public authority located in London, UK, has completed the procurement process for a "Maritime Broadband" project. This process, which concluded with an award stage, involved seeking a satellite broadband provider to supply internet services for three vessels operating in the UK and parts of Europe. The procurement was conducted via a direct award method, following an initial competitive tender exercise that yielded no suitable tenders. The contract, valued at £999,552 with a gross amount of £1,199,462.40, is scheduled to start on 3rd May 2026 and potentially extend until 2034, with options for six one-year extensions.

This tender presents substantial business opportunities for companies in the internet services sector, especially those capable of delivering robust, reliable broadband solutions for maritime applications. Large-scale enterprises like NSSLGlobal Ltd, which has been identified as the supplier, are well-suited for such contracts due to their capability to meet complex service requirements across multiple regions. This procurement not only enables these businesses to expand their service offerings but also establishes long-term relationships with government bodies, fostering further business growth through reputation and experience in delivering public sector projects.
