Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency, a central government public authority, has recently completed the procurement process for courier services dedicated to the Registry of Shipping and Seamen in Cardiff. The tender was conducted through a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold requirement. Located in Southampton, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency engaged CitySprint, based in Redhill, as the supplier. The contract, valued at £22,000 excluding VAT (£26,400 gross), was awarded on 12 May 2025 and became active on 13 May 2025. The services fall under the category of courier services, identified by CPV code 64120000, with the contract scheduled to end on 31 March 2026.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for large-scale suppliers specialising in courier services to tap into contracts with government agencies, especially those focussed on logistical support for key national functions. Businesses adept in offering reliable and timely courier solutions, especially those that can navigate the regulatory confines of public contracts, would find themselves well-positioned to compete for such opportunities. The sector may see significant growth as governmental bodies streamline their operations, necessitating dependable partners to support their logistical requirements.
