## Summary

The buying organization, Trinity House, located in Harwich, East of England, has initiated a tender for the procurement of air compressors for the buoy yard. The procurement stage is currently active, with a deadline for tender submissions set for October 31, 2022. The contract period is scheduled to start on November 14, 2022, and end on March 20, 2023. The procurement falls under the goods category with a value of £90,000 in GBP.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in supplying air compressors to engage with Trinity House. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this tender, which aims to replace outdated equipment critical for buoy refurbishment activities in the East of England region. Businesses specialising in air compressor technology and services would be well-suited to compete for this contract and contribute to the reliable operation of essential activities such as paint spraying and shot blasting.

## Notice

The current compressors and associated equipment within Harwich buoy yard are now approximately 17 years old and are no longer supportable from the original equipment manufacturers. This increases risk and costs to the business and therefore it is recommended that some or all of the equipment be replaced. The compressors and equipment are necessary to generate quality pressurised air for all core activities including paint spraying, shot blasting, and without a reliable source of compressed air these activities will not function and therefore buoy refurbishment cannot be undertaken. The current system comprises of one variable speed drive (VSD) compressor and one fixed speed, the VSD is used to top up system pressure and volume when necessary. As there is a high probability through the introduction of new equipment, the demand upon the compressors will change from the original value, it would be beneficial as part of this project to establish a new baseline and therefore size the new equipment accordingly.
