## Summary

The Corporation of Trinity House, a public authority in central government based in London, has completed a procurement process for its Maritime Broadband project. They have directly awarded the contract to NSSL Global Ltd, a large-scale supplier. This award, aimed at providing satellite broadband services to three vessels in the UK and parts of Europe, falls under the services category with an industry focus on internet services. The procurement method utilised was a direct award due to a lack of acceptable tenders in the initial compliant exercise, highlighting a focus on ensuring value for money. The contract was signed on 25th June 2026 and is active from 1st July 2026, intended to run through 1st July 2028, with optional extensions available until 2034.

This tender represents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in satellite broadband and related technology services. Companies in the internet services industry, especially those capable of scaling large operations or possessing significant experience with maritime telecommunications, would find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The opportunity not only involves immediate service provision but also potential long-term engagements through multiple contract extensions. Engaging in such contracts can broaden a company's portfolio and establish credibility as a reliable supplier for government contracts.
