UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Trinity House, acting as a buyer within the central government sector, has completed the procurement process for the purchase of marine lanterns. This contract concerns the acquisition of 15 marine lanterns to boost stock. The tender, identified with the title "Marine Lantern Purchase," falls under the "goods" category and adheres to the legal framework described by the UKPGA 2023/54. Although the procurement method employed was direct, signifying no competitive elements due to it being below the threshold, the involved parties are located within the UK. The contract was active from 10 April 2026 to 7 May 2026, with signing occurring on 9 April 2026.

This tender offers unique opportunities for suppliers of maritime equipment or similar goods, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises like Hydrosphere, the chosen supplier. As the procurement method was direct and the process already completed, future contracts with Trinity House may still allow businesses within the marine industry to establish themselves as reliable suppliers. Businesses focusing on specialised maritime products might find these public procurement routes lucrative given the potential for sustained growth through repeat purchases and stock replenishments. Trinity House's emphasis on stock acquisition suggests ongoing procurement opportunities within this industry sector.
