Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is actively pursuing the Highlands & Islands Modular CRS Facilities Upgrade Project. This initiative involves designing, delivering, and installing modular buildings at Coastal Rescue Station locations throughout the UK, with the aim of enhancing the facilities available to His Majesty's Coastguard teams. The procurement is in the Tender amendment stage, published on 20 May 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure, appropriate for projects below the threshold, with a tender period ending on 9 June 2026. The project falls under the "Construction work" industry category and has a projected budget of £1,000,000. Work is expected to commence on 1 July 2026 and conclude by 30 June 2028. The MCA, based in Southampton, England, serves as the primary contracting authority.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in construction, particularly those with experience in modular building projects. The contract is especially suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), offering them a chance to expand their portfolio by contributing to critical infrastructure enhancements. Given the geographic scope, companies with logistical capabilities spanning the UK and territories such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man, may be particularly competitive. The project's large scope and clear timeline could lead to substantial business growth for successful bidders, establishing long-term relationships with a key government entity like the MCA.
