Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Trinity House procured painting works at Berry Head Lighthouse, with the stated purpose of painting the lighthouse. The requirement falls within commercial and public-sector building maintenance and specialist painting services. The buyer is Trinity House, the public body responsible for maritime navigation. The delivery location is identified as London, although the requirement is named for Berry Head Lighthouse. The procurement was structured as a single requirement under a DPS mini-competition. Businesses relevant to this work include contractors able to plan and deliver external painting works on lighthouse or comparable operational assets, including firms with the management, health and safety and site-delivery arrangements needed for public infrastructure maintenance.

The procurement has reached completion, with an active award to Bell Group Limited. It used a selective procurement route under a restricted procedure, through a DPS mini-competition. Four bids were recorded. The stated evaluation basis was price. The requirement was treated as works for painting Berry Head Lighthouse. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award to Bell Group Limited is active. The contract value is £26,077.48. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026. The available outcome shows one named supplier and one awarded requirement; no award value is stated separately from the contract value.

This outcome indicates a focused requirement for public-sector painting work on a maritime navigation asset, competed through a restricted DPS mini-competition and decided on price. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in external building or infrastructure painting, with the practical capacity to deliver work at a lighthouse or similarly constrained operational site. Relevant preparation would include evidence of safe site management, competent painting personnel, suitable equipment and methods for exposed structures, and the ability to meet Trinity House’s technical and operational requirements. The winning supplier was a large contractor, suggesting that scale, mobilisation capacity and experience managing public works may be important when comparable requirements return to this buyer.
