Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime & Coastguard Agency has awarded a contract for the provision of maritime legislative advice and legal drafting to the MCA's Overseas Programme. The contract, titled "Conflict, Stability and Security Fund Programme - Overseas Territories Legal Services", falls under the legal services category, with a total value of £205,800 GBP. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the specialised nature of the required services.

Businesses interested in this tender should possess niche capabilities in providing legal advice for international maritime obligations. The buying authority, Maritime & Coastguard Agency, sought continuity and consistent advice by retaining the service provider, Knightwood Legal, throughout the Programme's final phase.

Notice Title

Conflict, Stability and Security Fund Programme - Overseas Territories Legal Services

Notice Description

Provision for Maritime legislative advice and legal drafting to the MCA's Overseas Programme.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This requirement enables the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programme to secure legal advice and drafting of national maritime legislation for the UKs Overseas Territories (OTs) to ensure compliance with, and implementation of, International Maritime Obligations and its Conventions.

Procurement Information

This provision is required to secure legal advice and drafting national legislation for the MCA's Maritime Obligations Programme to aid the UK Overseas Territories in meeting legal compliance with international obligations. The MCA intends to use the negotiated procedure without prior publication due to the services only being supplied by a particular economic operator as competition is absent for technical reasons. Previous procurement activity identified that Maritime legal expertise with understanding of the legislative structures of the Overseas Territories is a niche requirement and not widely available within this sector. The buying authorities understanding is that no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. Retaining the same service provider also ensures continuity and provides consistent advice as the Programme's enters its final phase.
