## Summary

The Trinity House Vessel Replacement Programme is currently active and managed by The Corporation of Trinity House, based in London, UK. The procurement process involves the replacement of the THV PATRICIA with a new vessel designed for enhanced environmental efficiency and performance. Expected to cost between £28 million and £36 million, the procurement is classified under the "Ships and boats" category and is being conducted through a competitive procedure with negotiation. The submission deadline for this tender is 26 April 2021, and the contract duration is estimated to last for 720 days.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs in the maritime sector, particularly those specialising in vessel construction and design. Companies capable of delivering hybrid power systems and meeting stringent performance criteria—such as Dynamic Positioning to DP2 standard—would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this tender could foster growth through potential partnerships and expanded capabilities in sophisticated maritime projects.

## Notice

Trinity House is seeking to replace THV PATRICIA. The chosen design is likely be of a similar size to the 2007 built THV GALATEA, but will vary significantly in that it will be more environmentally efficient incorporating Hybrid power concepts. Further to this, it will have a hull form exhibiting motion response and speed loss characteristics designed to enable a response speed of 14 knots to be achievable in 2m head seas without excessive speed loss and motions in more severe conditions. This 14 knot Response Speed is to be viewed in conjunction with a Service Speed (most economical speed) of 10.5 knots. The new vessel will have a draft not exceeding 4.3m to enable it to work from all Trinity House bases. When at anchor, the vessel should be designed such that through appropriate distribution of superstructures and deck houses, the vessel will lie to its anchor without assistance from propulsion systems. The vessel will be Dynamically Positioned to DP2 standard.
