Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporation of Trinity House procured dry-docking and repair services for Lightvessel 06, a marine vessel used in the organisation’s maritime navigation activities. The work covered placing the lightvessel in dry dock and carrying out repair works. This is a specialist marine engineering and vessel-maintenance requirement rather than general construction or routine facilities maintenance. Delivery was in London. The buying organisation is The Corporation of Trinity House, whose operational remit includes maritime navigation. The requirement was classified as dry-docking services. It was arranged as a single requirement, covering the full dry-dock and repair scope for Lightvessel 06, so relevant suppliers would need to provide or manage an integrated vessel repair service rather than only one unrelated trade.

The procurement has concluded and the contract was awarded to Southampton Marine Services, an SME. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 for £408,069. The procedure was selective, using a restricted procedure within a dynamic purchasing system. The contract outcome followed a competition in which two bids were received; both were from SMEs and submitted electronically. The award basis was price. The published tender status is complete, while the award and contract are active. The procurement was structured around one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled alongside the active award and contract. No contract end date or delivery duration is stated in the procurement data. The requirement therefore provides a clear benchmark for the price-led procurement of a lightvessel dry-docking and repair package.

This procurement indicates demand from Trinity House for specialist contractors able to undertake complete dry-docking and repair work on operational lightvessels. A credible future competitor would need practical marine engineering capability, access to suitable dry-dock facilities, and the capacity to coordinate inspection, repair and vessel-support activities as one service. Experience working on vessels or comparable maritime assets would help demonstrate that the supplier can manage the technical, safety and logistical demands of the requirement. The competition also shows that smaller specialist businesses can participate: both bids were from SMEs and the selected supplier was an SME. Because price was the stated award basis, a future supplier would need a clearly costed, competitive package without compromising the ability to deliver the complete repair scope.
