Summary of the contracting process

The Corporation of Trinity House commissioned dry-docking, repair and refurbishment services for Lightvessel 07. The work concerns taking the vessel into dry dock and carrying out the required repair works and refurbishment. This is a marine maintenance service, classified under CPV 50246100 for dry-docking services. Trinity House is the buyer, with responsibility for maritime navigation. The delivery location is London. The requirement was organised as a single package, covering the complete dry-dock and repair works rather than separate specialist lots. The procurement was intended for contractors able to undertake marine vessel dry-docking and associated repair activity. The selected supplier, Southampton Marine Services Limited, is based in Southampton and is recorded as an SME.

The procurement has reached the awarded and contracted stage. Trinity House used a selective restricted procedure, with a dynamic purchasing system involved. The stated evaluation basis was price. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and it was from an SME. Southampton Marine Services Limited was selected for the Lightvessel 07 dry-dock and refurbishment work. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026 and has a value of £408,069. The work was described as taking place between November and December 2026. The tender record marks the single lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the award therefore represents the procurement outcome and the contract remains the operative arrangement. No separate award date is recorded.

This requirement indicates demand from Trinity House for contractors able to combine marine dry-docking with vessel repair and refurbishment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical dry-dock capability, marine engineering resources and the capacity to manage an integrated repair package for a lightvessel. The procurement was run through a restricted procedure and evaluated on price, so suppliers would need to demonstrate competence during the selection stage while presenting a competitive, clearly scoped cost. The result also shows that an SME was able to compete successfully and that electronic submission was used. Firms with relevant lightvessel or comparable commercial-vessel maintenance experience, suitable dock access and the ability to coordinate inspection, repair and refurbishment work would be well placed when Trinity House next requires this type of service.
