## Summary

Trinity House procured marine gas oil (MGO) for THV Patricia, covering the supply and refuelling of a marine patrol vessel. The requirement falls within goods procurement and is also classified as bunkering and ship refuelling services. The buyer is Trinity House, the UK public authority responsible for this purchasing process. The named vessel is the operational setting for the requirement, so relevant businesses are marine fuel suppliers, bunker operators and companies able to arrange or deliver ship refuelling for patrol vessels. The procurement concerns a single requirement rather than a range of separately described goods or services, and the supplier’s role is centred on providing MGO to support the vessel’s operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. There was one completed lot. Trinity House awarded the contract to Frank Armitt & Sons Ltd on 25 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 1 September 2026. Its value is £92,922 excluding VAT, or £111,506.40 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded outcome identifies Frank Armitt & Sons Ltd as the selected supplier. The process used a limited procurement method, with competition restricted below the applicable threshold; the available outcome does not set out a separate scoring or evaluation breakdown.

This procurement demonstrates a short-duration requirement for marine gas oil and ship refuelling connected with a Trinity House marine patrol vessel. Businesses well placed for a future requirement of this kind would need dependable access to marine fuel, the operational capacity to bunker or refuel a vessel, and processes capable of meeting a tightly defined delivery window. Experience supplying commercial, patrol or other working vessels would help demonstrate operational credibility, particularly where continuity of fuel supply affects vessel activity. The award to an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist supplier. Companies monitoring this buyer should therefore assess their marine fuel logistics, refuelling arrangements, relevant vessel-supply experience and ability to compete through a below-threshold limited competition.
