UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Trinity House bought marine gas oil (MGO) for its vessels THV Galatea and THV Alert. The requirement was for fuel supply and ship refuelling, rather than vessel purchase or general marine services. The activity served two named Trinity House vessels, with refuelling required for each. Trinity House is the buying organisation, based in London. The supplier, ASCO, is based in Dyce, Aberdeen. The procurement is classified as goods, with associated ship-refuelling services. The vessel locations and actual refuelling points are not stated, so the requirement cannot be tied to a particular port or delivery site from the published description.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to ASCO through below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 18 September to 6 October 2026. Its value is £88,360 excluding VAT (£106,032 including VAT). The work comprised MGO for THV Galatea on 21 September 2026 and THV Alert on 5 October 2026. The award is active and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria or scoring basis are set out in the available procurement details.

For suppliers considering comparable future Trinity House requirements, this award shows demand for marine gas oil to refuel named operational vessels, with two vessel-specific supply dates handled under a single lot. A credible competitor would need to source and deliver the required marine fuel and coordinate ship refuelling to fit vessel schedules. The selected supplier, ASCO, is a large fuel and lubricants business, indicating that established supply capability was suited to this requirement. The procurement used limited competition below the applicable threshold, so a supplier's ability to engage in that route would also matter. The requirement is specific to vessel fuel supply and bunkering; general fuel sales without marine delivery and refuelling capability would not address it.»
