How to win: GLA Batteries

About this contract

Trinity House (TH), in its capacity as a GLA, is running an open procurement process to address the consolidated battery requirements for TH and Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB), with the aim of establishing a framework for the supply of Lead-Acid, GEL (VRLA) and AGM (VRLA), and Lithium batteries to these GLAs, including all specified battery interconnections, racking and lifting boxes, as required. The framework will also address battery preparation services, in order to ensure that the published performance of the batteries is achieved. Disposal and recycling of the batteries supplied will also form a part of the framework. Please note - further information gained since pre market engagement notice has deemed a change in the total estimated value of the framework.
