Trinity House: Shipping

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the procurement of vessels for Trinity House prioritises those which are built in the UK.

Answer

The Trinity House vessel procurement required bidders to state social value and UK content commitments as part of their bids, which accounted for ten per cent and five per cent respectively of the overall evaluation.

All bids are assessed against these criteria as part of a fair and open competition. Given that this procurement remains live at this stage it would be inappropriate for me to comment further before this process concludes.
