Located in Southampton, UK, the procurement was in the award stage as of 23rd December 2025, with Lyon Equipment Limited being the supplier. The contract, valued at £21,946 (exclusive of VAT), was signed on 17th December 2025 and is active from 18th December to 25th December 2025. This procurement followed a direct method, categorized as below threshold and executed without competition, under the legal framework defined by the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in rescue and emergency equipment and services to engage with a central government public authority such as the MCA. Companies providing bespoke technical support and product supply lines, especially those capable of operating on a 24/7 schedule, would find contracts like this particularly beneficial to grow their market presence. While this specific process was awarded through a direct procurement method to Lyon Equipment Limited, businesses that can demonstrate unique capabilities or innovative solutions for coastguard rescue operations should consider such tenders for future opportunities. This may be especially relevant for SMEs capable of providing niche products or services in the emergency response sector.
