## Summary

The Department for Infrastructure has completed a tender process for the procurement of spare and replacement parts, along with specialist engineering services for Voith Schneider propulsion systems. The contract, valued at £350,000, falls under the category of miscellaneous transport equipment and spare parts and is primarily focused on ensuring the effective maintenance of the Strangford Lough Ferry Service's Voith-controlled vessels.
