## Summary

Trinity House procured marine fuel oil (MGO) for THV Patricia, its marine patrol vessel. The requirement covers the supply of fuel together with bunkering and ship-refuelling services. This is a goods procurement with associated marine logistics and vessel-fuelling activity, rather than a general fuel supply requirement. The buying organisation is Trinity House, a central government public authority based in London. The named requirement is specifically connected to THV Patricia and is therefore relevant to suppliers serving commercial, patrol or other working vessels. Businesses with capability in marine fuel supply, safe vessel-side delivery and bunkering operations would recognise this as a specialist maritime requirement. The procurement concerns one completed lot and one defined vessel-fuelling requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Trinity House used a below-threshold limited competition. KPI Ocean Connect was awarded the contract on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 10 August 2026. Its value is £57,868 excluding VAT, or £69,441.60 including VAT. The contract is active and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through a limited competition for a single lot. The classification covers marine patrol vessels, bunkering services and ship-refuelling services. The contract was below the applicable threshold. KPI Ocean Connect is identified as an SME supplier.

This award shows that Trinity House buys short-duration, vessel-specific marine fuel and refuelling support through a limited competition below the procurement threshold. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need dependable access to marine gas oil, the operational ability to bunker a working vessel safely, and experience coordinating delivery around a vessel’s operating schedule. Relevant capability includes ship refuelling, marine fuel logistics, compliant handling procedures and reliable mobilisation for a defined vessel requirement. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that they can combine fuel supply with practical bunkering services, rather than offering fuel as a standalone commodity. The selected SME indicates that specialist maritime suppliers can meet this type of requirement.
