Supply of a Second Hand 24m Landing Craft Type Vessel

Description

The Authority seeks to secure the purchase of a 24 metre steel-hulled landing craft type vessel. Lot 1: This procurement exercise seeks to secure the purchase of a ~24-metre steel-hulled landing craft type vessel. The proposal to purchase a ~24-metre steel-hulled landing craft aims to strengthen service resilience by introducing an additional vessel capable of supporting freight movement and providing contingency cover in the event of breakdowns or unplanned maintenance elsewhere in the fleet. While the vessel will primarily be a workboat, it should be able to accommodate a limited number of passengers—up to 12—where appropriate. However, this would not be intended for routine passenger service and would not therefore address accessibility challenges for people with restricted mobility. Additional information: The anticipated Contract Duration from award of contract to delivery of the vessel, will be one month and must be completed by the end of March 2026. The budget for the purchase of the vessel is 1,200,000 GBP with a maximum of 1,400,000 GBP
