This project, classified under technical support services, seeks a technical specialist for a vessel replacement programme. The scope has expanded from the replacement of one vessel to include a second, covering territories such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man, among others. With a budget of £2,000,000 GBP, the contract runs from 9th September 2019 to the end of 2030. The procurement process is selective, utilising a negotiated procedure, and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The tender closed on 8th August 2019, but it remains active for future modifications or engagements. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in technical support services with experience in vessel replacement and project management. SMEs are well-positioned to compete, benefiting from the adjusted timescales and competitive rates initially tendered. The nature of the task requires firms capable of delivering robust technical guidance and demonstrating flexibility to adapt to project modifications, such as the unexpected requirement to cover two vessels instead of one. Engaging in this large-scale and complex project could enhance a company's credentials and establish its standing in the maritime sector across various geographical locations. ## Notice Modification Notice Original description: Trinity House engaged the services of a technical specialist to support their vessel replacement programme. Full details of the stages, duties, etc. were included in the original Invitation to Tender. Description of the modifications The original project to replace one Trinity House Vessel (THV) was updated to include the replacement of a second THV. The amendment requires the technical specialist services to cover both THV's. The original tender allowed for the timescale to be adjusted to fully deliver THV no.1 using competitively tested rates. These rates have been adjusted in line with originally tendered agreement and are aligned to the original contract pricing structure. This structure will be to deliver THV no. 2 Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances: Previous competitive procurements for vessel no. 1 failed to deliver successful contract awards. This dictated a project review and extensive market engagement which resulted in a new procurement exercise for the replacement of two vessels instead of a single vessel. The two vessel procurement could not have been predicted at the time of procuring the original contract for technical support services. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6be6c1af-f393-4d53-b6ec-0b21e4dbd32a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 7 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Sep 2019 - 31 Dec 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE CORPORATION OF TRINITY HOUSE OF DEPTFORD STROND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC3N 4DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Tower | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71356300 - Technical support services ## Release History - 6 Jul 2026 at 08:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6be6c1af-f393-4d53-b6ec-0b21e4dbd32a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6be6c1af-f393-4d53-b6ec-0b21e4dbd32a 6th July 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=1047546402 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
