## Summary

The Corporation of Trinity House is undertaking a tender for "Wave Tank Testing of Type 2 Buoys," aimed at enhancing navigation buoy hull designs. The procurement process is in the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 31 July 2018. The project falls within the services sector, specifically related to water tank testing, and is located in London, UK. The total contract value is £50,000, with a minimum value of £25,000. This tender is being conducted through an open procedure, allowing a broad range of suppliers to participate.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in marine engineering and design, research and development, or material testing. Companies capable of manufacturing model buoys and conducting technical data analysis will find this project particularly relevant. Engaging in this contract could open doors to future collaborations in the navigation equipment sector and bolster market presence in related service areas.

## Notice

Trinity House is looking for a wave tank research resource to aid in the development of navigation buoy hull design. We would be looking to commission the model manufacture, tank testing and data collation and analysis to inform ongoing Trinity House designs which are looking to increase the stability of floating light structures. These are based on a 3mt diameter skirted buoy body which carries a superstructure on which are mounted navigation aids, principally, a light and its supporting power system. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
