    Brief

    The National Lighthouse Board (NLB) is seeking a Naval Architect to develop the concept design of a new SOLAS Class VII civil helicopter support and aids to navigation service vessel. The vessel will be registered in the UK with Leith as its Port of Registry and Oban as its primary operating port, but must be capable of operating from multiple UK and Irish ports and internationally. The appointed Naval Architect will create a detailed concept technical specification to enable shipbuilders to submit fixed-price tenders for detailed design and construction. The initial contract term is approximately 5 years or until vessel delivery, with options for extension to support ongoing vessel replacement initiatives. This is a specialized marine design project requiring expertise in regulatory compliance, multi-port operational requirements, and commercial vessel specifications.
