Technical Specialist for Vessel Replacement Programme - Scope Expansion

Trinity House is seeking to retain technical specialist services to support the expansion of their vessel replacement programme. This modification expands the original contract, which covered the replacement of one Trinity House Vessel (THV), to now include the replacement of a second vessel. The technical specialist will provide support across both vessel replacement projects using the same competitively tested rates and contract pricing structure established in the original tender. The scope expansion became necessary following unsuccessful competitive procurements for the first vessel, which prompted a comprehensive project review and market engagement. This led to a strategic decision to procure two vessel replacements in a single programme rather than proceeding sequentially. The service rates have been adjusted in line with the original tendered agreement to reflect the extended scope and timeline for delivering both THV replacements.
