The Supplier must be able to provide a vessel adequate to the task of pushing the Floating Bridge square to the slipway without the need for any modifications to any part of FB6.
The vessel used to deliver the service must conform to the relevant Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) class; it must be certified, equipped and crewed accordingly.
Please note that, before contract award, the Preferred Supplier will be required to undertake a trial on one spring tide to establish that their proposed vessel and methodology achieve the requirements of the specification.

If this is the case, then a live trial will be undertaken for the second placed Potential Supplier.
