## Summary

The Corporation of Trinity House procured dry-docking and repair services for Lightvessel 06. The work covers taking the lightvessel into dry dock and carrying out the required repairs, requiring a competent marine contractor with suitable shipyard or vessel-repair capability. This is a services contract, classified under CPV 50246100 for dry-docking services. The delivery location is London, United Kingdom. The requirement is specific to the maintenance of a lightvessel rather than general construction or routine facilities management, so it is most relevant to shipyards, marine engineering businesses and specialist vessel-repair contractors able to plan and deliver dry-dock work for an operational maritime organisation.

This procurement has been completed through a selective restricted procedure. Bids were due by 13 July 2026, and the contract was awarded on that date to Southampton Marine Services. The awarded value was £408,069. The contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 May 2027. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Trinity House evaluated the procurement through the restricted-procedure route, with the successful award recorded as active. The award outcome relates to the full dry-docking and repair requirement for Lightvessel 06; no separate lot awards are identified. The procurement is therefore an awarded specialist marine-services contract rather than an open opportunity for further submissions.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Trinity House’s demand for specialist lightvessel maintenance delivered through a formal restricted procedure. A credible future competitor would need practical dry-docking facilities, marine engineering expertise and the capacity to complete a defined vessel repair programme safely and efficiently. Experience working on vessels with operational or safety-critical functions would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the ability to coordinate dock access, inspection, repair activities and return to service within an agreed programme. The requirement was considered suitable for an SME, indicating that a focused marine contractor may be able to compete without being a large national engineering group.
