Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is planning to initiate a procurement process titled "HMCG Counter Pollution and Salvage Marketplace," focused on developing a dynamic marketplace to bolster its emergency response services. With the procurement rooted under the Procurement Act 2023, this project aims to establish a compliant route for acquiring specialist equipment and services. Scheduled to commence on 1st July 2026, the contract will run until 30th June 2031, with potential extension until 2033. Based in Southampton, the procurement seeks goods in the categories of professional services for the oil industry, pollution-control vessels, and various emergency response apparatus, conforming to the legal requirements of the UK's Procurement Act 2023. The procurement is in the planning stage, employing an open dynamic market method.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the oil industry, security and defence sectors, or those offering pollution-control solutions and emergency response equipment. It is particularly suited for SMEs and VCSEs, given the market's dynamic purchasing system structure. Companies that provide professional services related to oil pollution, decontamination equipment, and pollution-control vessels have a strong incentive to engage in this marketplace, as it not only promises long-term commitments but also positions businesses to contribute to pivotal emergency response initiatives. Organisations capable of supplying advanced all-terrain and off-road vehicles, as well as equipment such as pumps and oil dispersants, are encouraged to participate to support the UK-wide service coverage offered by this procurement exercise. The initiative offers businesses growth potential by providing consistent demand for specialised goods over multiple years.
