Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has completed a tender for "PFD Behaviour Research," aimed at understanding the factors influencing Personal Flotation Device (PFD) usage in the fishing industry, which has been identified as one of the most dangerous sectors in the UK. This research falls under the category of research services and was conducted in the South East of England. The procurement method was a direct single tender action, with the contract period from 17 December 2021 to 17 April 2022, and a total value of £61,266. The tender period ended on 16 December 2021.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in behavioural studies and maritime safety. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to engage in similar future projects, as they can offer innovative approaches tailored to the specific safety challenges faced by the fishing industry. Businesses looking to expand in this domain should consider developing targeted solutions or interventions to enhance PFD adoption among fishermen.

Notice Title

PFD Behaviour Research

Notice Description

Fishing is the most dangerous industry in the UK. Fatalities are 100 times higher than in the general workforce and 10 times higher than the next most dangerous industry, agriculture. In the last 10 years, 43% of these fatalities were person overboard -falls off a vessel into the water. The MCA wishes to commission research to better understand the determinants of the behaviour of wearing a PFD and look to develop interventions to increase its prevalence.
