Lot Information

The administration of Government support grants for maritime training, under the scheme known as SMarT -- Support for Maritime Training.

Procurement Information

The Maritime & Coastguard Agency is currently in the process of conducting an ongoing in depth review in order to implement the Government Digital Services (GDS) process to develop a new requirement for both SMarT and SMarT Plus which meets the GDS model requirements. This process has enabled us to assess potential alternative user friendly models of service delivery to manage claims for both schemes and consider the requirement to build new technology. The current contract for the management of SMarT claims expires on 31 March 2022, pending our evaluation of the results of this review, and to ensure a continuation of this service, it is our intention to direct award a short-term contract to the incumbent supplier, Ricardo Energy and Environment.
