## Summary

The contracting process for the Broads Authority's project to replace and fit electric drive systems in the Ra and Liana trip boats has recently been awarded. Located in Norwich, the Broads Authority functions as a public authority under sub-central government classification. The procurement sought services within the reconditioning industry, focusing on ships or boats. This open procurement method aimed at below-threshold competition attracted six bids, culminating in the awarding of the contract on 9th September 2025 to E.C.Landamore & Co. Limited. The contract period is set from 3rd November 2025 to 6th March 2026.

This tender presented a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in marine engineering and reconditioning services. The project leveraged an open competition procurement method, which is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to its below-threshold classification. Traits like experience in electric systems for vessels, competitive pricing, and technical excellence were key criteria in the tender evaluation processes. The use of the most advantageous tender methodology, focusing on factors such as price, technical specifications, and social value, further illustrates the importance of a comprehensive approach in bid preparation. This procurement highlights potential growth areas for SMEs looking to expand their operations within the UK's public services sector, particularly those equipped to work within the reconditioning services sector.
