Summary of the contracting process

Trinity House commissioned painting works for Flatholm Lighthouse, with the requirement described as painting the lighthouse. The procurement concerns specialist building and maintenance painting rather than the supply of paint alone, and is classified under CPV 45442100. Delivery is identified in London. Trinity House is the public buyer, with responsibility connected to maritime navigation. The requirement was arranged as a DPS mini-competition, indicating a focused call-off for this particular painting project. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are contractors able to plan and carry out lighthouse or comparable exposed-structure painting works, including the associated site, access and protective measures needed for a public maritime asset.

The procurement has reached completion and an award was made through a selective restricted procedure under a DPS mini-competition. Three bids were recorded for the lot. Price was the stated award criterion. IAN WILLIAMS was selected for the Flatholm Lighthouse painting requirement, with an award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and has a value of £76,862.76. The award date is not separately recorded. The single lot is marked cancelled, although the associated award and contract are recorded as active, so the published outcome contains conflicting status information. No contract duration or end date is provided in the procurement record.

This procurement demonstrates Trinity House demand for substantial lighthouse painting works delivered through a selective DPS route, with competition from three bidders and a large painting contractor selected. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in external building or marine-asset painting, including preparation, coating application, safe access and working in exposed or operational environments. Experience managing specialist sites and protecting the public asset during delivery would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to compete through a restricted DPS mini-competition and submit a clear price-led offer, since price was the stated evaluation basis. The requirement indicates a scale suited to established contractors with enough workforce, equipment and project management capacity for a lighthouse painting programme.
