## Summary

Trinity House, functioning as a General Lighthouse Authority, recently completed a procurement process titled "West Coast Work Boat." This process centres around marine services, specifically requiring a contractor to provide a work vessel and navigation support services primarily around the Bristol Channel and waters contiguous to England and Wales. The procurement used an open procedure, with key events including the contract signing on 28th March 2025, and the procurement stage moving from tender to award. Trinity House, based in London, UK, facilitated the process, which saw Severn Seas Shipping Ltd being awarded the contract. The procurement was initially valued at £5,600,000, spanning a potential contract period of three years with possible extensions.

This tender offers significant business opportunities, particularly for SMEs engaged in marine services. The requirement for quality in technical and social value criteria, which accounted for 65% of the evaluation, makes the tender attractive for businesses that can deliver high-quality technical solutions and demonstrate social value. Additionally, the open procedure allows a broad range of enterprises to compete, thereby providing expansive opportunities for growth, especially for those with expertise in maritime operations in the UK. Companies with robust capabilities in the provision of marine equipment and support services are positioned well to leverage this procurement for business expansion.
