UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Trinity House procured engineering works for the THV Galatea, covering the PFH 80 Davit system. The requirement was for two engineers to attend and complete the work, including installing new hydraulic motors and load pins, function-testing the system, and supplying the parts and software needed for a new programmable logic controller. The scope also included the engineers’ working and travel hours. This is mechanical engineering installation work, with activity delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Trinity House, a central government public authority responsible for the procurement. The opportunity therefore suits contractors able to provide specialist marine or mechanical engineering support, installation work and commissioning for davit or comparable lifting systems.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. There was one completed lot. PALFINGER MARINE EUROPE BV was awarded the work on 15 July 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract is active and runs from 4 October 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is EUR 44,035 gross. The award covered the full lot and the contract value is stated in euros. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement details. The recorded outcome identifies PALFINGER MARINE EUROPE BV as the selected supplier, so this process is evidence of a completed purchase rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement demonstrates demand from Trinity House for short, specialist engineering interventions on marine lifting equipment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide at least two suitably capable engineers, install hydraulic motors and load pins, carry out functional testing, and support the supply and integration of programmable logic controller parts and software. Practical experience with davit systems, marine equipment installation, commissioning and fault-free handover would be relevant. The requirement also shows that Trinity House may use a limited competition for below-threshold specialist works, so suppliers should be able to respond through that route and coordinate engineers’ working time, travel and parts supply as one managed service.
