The contract, titled "GSS24096 - Marine Labour," falls under the industry category of marine services. The agreement is divided into three lots: Deck, covering positions like Master and Chief Officer; Engine, covering roles such as Chief Engineer; and Catering, encompassing roles like Purser and Chief Cook. Published on 19th November 2024, this award notice confirms the procurement's completion stage, using an open procedure. The framework agreement has a total value of £1,400,000 and covers services within the United Kingdom from 3rd February 2025 to 11th February 2027.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in marine recruitment, particularly those capable of providing qualified personnel swiftly. Companies like Advanced Resource Managers Limited and Seamariner Limited, identified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and awarded as suppliers, demonstrate that SMEs with the ability to deliver marine staff promptly and manage payroll services can thrive. The framework's requirement for contingent mariners to have the necessary certifications and meet rigorous security checks also highlights opportunities for agencies with robust compliance and recruitment processes.
