Offshore Decommissioning and Removal of Royal Sovereign Lighthouse

Tender description

Trinity House has an offshore structure called Royal Sovereign Lighthouse which is coming to the end of its serviceable life. The Royal Sovereign Lighthouse is located in the English Channel, approximately 7nM due east of Beachy Head on the U.K. south coast. In 2019, a Prior Information Notice (PIN) was published to notify the market of the future tender opportunity for the decommissioning, removal and disposal of the Royal Sovereign Lighthouse. The publication of this PIN is to advertise further market engagement activities. Trinity House have now prepared a questionnaire that can be completed by organisations interested in tendering. The aim of this questionnaire is to provide additional information to interested contractors and to receive information from the marketplace that will assist Trinity House with the planning and development of the Tender process. This questionnaire is available online and the feedback received will help with preparing the restricted tender process. Lot 1: The technical solution sought from this procurement will be the safe, compliant to applicable laws and other relevant regulations, decommissioning, removal and disposal of elements of the Royal Sovereign Lighthouse currently deemed to be structurally at risk. We consider these to be the upper platform (topsides) and the tubular column. The base is to remain on the seabed for the foreseeable future. There will likely be, a 2-3 year performance window to complete the works. The Scope of Procurement is to appoint an experienced, cost-effective contractor to deliver the technical solution, including provision of all required resources and the disposal of all generated waste in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Full detail of the requirements and performance criteria will be released with the Invitation to Tender (ITT) which will be in the form of a restricted tender process. Tendering organisations must pre-qualify and reach the shortlist requirements to view the ITT. Additional information: Background information will be provided at both market engagement and pre-qualification stage. The estimated value is between £3,500,000 and £8,500,000. The estimated total value published on this notice indicates the expected region of tenders.
