## Summary

Trinity House procured works to paint South Stack Lighthouse. The requirement was classified as painting work (CPV 45442100) and was organised as a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system. The buyer is Trinity House, a public body responsible here for maritime navigation, with its organisation address in London. The work concerns the lighthouse itself, while the procurement records London as the delivery location. This is a specialist maintenance and painting requirement for a maritime navigation asset, rather than a general supply contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are contractors able to plan and carry out external painting works in a lighthouse or similarly exposed coastal, heritage or operational environment, while meeting the buyer’s requirements for a restricted mini-competition.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded through a selective restricted procedure run as a dynamic purchasing system mini-competition. The single lot was marked cancelled, although an active award and contract are recorded against it. The award went to IAN WILLIAMS, and the contract was signed on 30 July 2026 for £105,685.75. Two bids were recorded. Price was the stated award criterion, so commercial competitiveness was central to the outcome. The contract is recorded as active, but no contract end date or duration is provided. The requirement was for one package of painting works, with no options. Trinity House is the buyer and IAN WILLIAMS is the selected supplier.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Trinity House for substantial painting works on a lighthouse used for maritime navigation. A credible future competitor would need a proven ability to deliver specialist external painting safely on an operational, exposed and potentially difficult-to-access structure, with suitable planning, equipment, supervision and quality control. Experience on lighthouses, marine assets, heritage structures or comparable coastal infrastructure would help demonstrate relevance, provided it can be evidenced against the buyer’s requirements. The route to market is important: suppliers need to qualify for the relevant dynamic purchasing system and be prepared for restricted mini-competitions rather than relying on an unrestricted tender. The evaluation was price-led, so robust cost control and clear, competitive pricing would also be important.
