    Brief

    This contract seeks a service provider to operate a replacement foot passenger launch between Cowes and East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. The launch will serve as a backup to the Floating Bridge ferry, operating from the Floating Bridge ferry pontoon at Cowes Slipway (Medina Road) to the Gridiron pontoon in East Cowes. The service is required during periods when the Floating Bridge is unavailable due to planned maintenance, technical repairs, or adverse weather and environmental conditions. The contract runs for three years starting 11 January 2026, with optional extensions of up to two years available (one year plus one year). Operators should review the detailed specification document for complete service requirements, vessel specifications, operational schedules, and safety standards. This is an essential transport link for pedestrian access between the two communities.
