Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking proposals for the provision of Marine Pilotage Services for British Forces Falkland Islands, as outlined in tender CB/BFSAI/00021. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract valued at £310,250, set to run from 14th February 2017 to 13th February 2022. The contract encompasses services within the port limits of Mount Pleasant Naval Base (MHNP) and requires the supplier to be available 24/7. The tender concluded on 8th December 2016, and the service is classified under ship-piloting services.

This opportunity offers substantial growth potential for businesses in marine services, particularly those specialising in pilotage, marine supervision, and logistical support for maritime operations. Companies with experience in providing emergency response services and those that can demonstrate a reliable pool of trained mariners will be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the contracting authority has expressed suitability for such firms, particularly those familiar with the logistics and navigation needs in overseas territories.
