The Corporation of Trinity House ("the Authority") is pleased to launch the procurement under its 'Futures Afloat' programme that will deliver two state-of-the-art new build multi-function buoy handling ships.
The Authority is the General Lighthouse Authority for England, Wales, The Channel Islands and Gibraltar pursuant to the Merchant Shipping Act 1995. It maintains lighthouses, Light Vessels and marine buoyage amongst other aids to navigation. The Authority is one of the three General Lighthouse Authorities that provide aids to navigation in the waters around England, Wales, Scotland, the Isle of Man, the island of Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Gibraltar.
Futures Afloat is a project that includes the replacement of Trinity House’s ageing multi-functional buoy handling tenders (MFTs). The scope of this procurement includes the design and construction of two identical ships that will replace THV Patricia and THV Galatea.
The Authority’s detailed technical requirements are included in the procurement document pack which will become available to potential suppliers via the AWARD system in the coming days. Organisations can self-register on the AWARD system via https://award.commercedecisions.com/trinityhouse/web/project/a0604d44-7f76-4125-8f75-eab197aac7f5/register. Trinity House will notify all registered organisations when the procurement pack is available.
The successful supplier will be awarded two contracts (one contract per vessel) to be executed at the same time.
