## Summary

The Corporation of Trinity House commissioned dry-docking and repair services for Lightfloat 03, a light vessel requiring marine repair and dockyard work. The requirement was for a competent contractor to carry out the vessel’s dry dock and associated repairs. The procurement was managed by Trinity House, whose maritime navigation responsibilities make the work relevant to marine engineering, ship repair and specialist dockyard businesses. Delivery was associated with London. The service category is dry-docking services (CPV 50246100). The requirement was organised as a single lot and concerned the repair of one named lightfloat rather than a general vessel maintenance programme. Businesses with relevant marine repair facilities, vessel-handling capability and experience of dry-docking comparable working vessels would find the subject matter most relevant.

This procurement has reached completion and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure using a dynamic purchasing system. The single requirement was evaluated on price. Southampton Marine Services was the selected supplier, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 for £299,505. One electronic bid was received, all from an SME, and no bids came from EU or non-EU foreign suppliers. The procurement record identifies the requirement as complete and the associated lot as cancelled, while recording an active award and active contract for Southampton Marine Services. No separate contract duration or award date is provided. The outcome indicates a price-led competition for a defined dry-docking and repair package rather than a multi-lot or quality-weighted tender.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need proven capability to take a lightfloat or comparable vessel into dry dock, inspect and repair it, and return it to service safely. Relevant strengths would include marine engineering, hull and structural repair, mechanical and electrical maintenance, dockyard facilities, vessel lifting or berthing arrangements, and the capacity to manage the work as a complete package. Experience working on navigation vessels or other operational marine assets would help demonstrate understanding of safety-critical work and operational constraints. The use of a restricted procedure and dynamic purchasing system suggests that suppliers need to qualify for the relevant purchasing route before competing. The single bid and SME award show that a specialist small or medium-sized marine contractor can be credible for this scale of requirement.
