UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Lighthouse Board procured a full overhaul of the Pharos harbour generator, a mechanical and electrical engineering service. The generator powers the vessel while it is in harbour when crane operations are not under way, mainly in the evenings and sometimes during daytime operations. The overhaul is intended to address periods when breakdowns or other technical problems have left the generator unavailable. Delivery is in the UK; the procurement does not identify a more specific location. This is a single requirement rather than a divided package, serving the Board’s need for reliable generator operation aboard the Pharos while it is alongside.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Royston Ltd. The award was made on 15 October 2026, for £64,325.40 excluding VAT (£77,190.48 including VAT). The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 1 March 2027. It was a below-threshold procurement; the method is recorded as unknown. The requirement was handled as one lot. The published process information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award is active, and the contract signature was scheduled for 25 October 2026.

This award shows demand from the Northern Lighthouse Board for specialist mechanical and electrical engineering work to overhaul a vessel’s harbour generator. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the technical capability to inspect, diagnose and fully overhaul marine generator equipment, including addressing faults that cause repeated outages. Experience maintaining generator availability on working vessels would be relevant because this equipment supports harbour operations around crane activity. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver a focused engineering service for a single vessel and complete the work within a defined contract period. Royston Ltd, an SME, secured the award, showing that this requirement was delivered by a specialist supplier rather than being restricted to a large contractor. The procurement was below threshold and its specific method was recorded as unknown. The work is specifically generator overhaul, not general vessel maintenance.大小规律
