## Summary

Trinity House commissioned an overhaul of the bridge controllers aboard THV Galatea, its vessel. The requirement is marine repair and maintenance work, specifically servicing and overhauling the ship’s bridge-control equipment. The work is for Trinity House, the UK central government authority responsible for the vessel, and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement covers one requirement for the vessel; the award records the work under ship repair and maintenance services. This is a specialist marine engineering task rather than a general vessel maintenance contract, with the bridge controllers as the defined focus.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Kongsberg Maritime. Trinity House used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 22 October to 23 November 2026. Its value is £35,704.75 excluding VAT (£42,845.70 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the bridge-controller overhaul, and one supplier was selected. The published procurement data does not state a separate scoring method or detailed award criteria, so the outcome can be reported as an award following limited competition, without attributing a particular price or quality weighting.

For suppliers seeking comparable future work with Trinity House, this award indicates demand for specialist overhaul and repair of shipboard bridge-control systems. A credible competitor would need demonstrable marine engineering capability, including the technical expertise to diagnose, service and overhaul bridge controllers on an operational vessel. Relevant ship repair and maintenance experience, familiarity with marine control equipment and the ability to complete a focused, vessel-specific assignment would be important. The selected supplier, Kongsberg Maritime, is an established maritime equipment business, illustrating the fit of specialist sector expertise to this requirement. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through a limited-competition route and to deliver a defined equipment overhaul for a single vessel.
