Summary of the contracting process

Defence Equipment and Support, part of the Ministry of Defence, procured a 24/7/365 oil spill response service for the Dockyard Port of Portsmouth. The requirement is for rapid access to a Tier 2 incident response capability, supporting the Authority’s obligations under the Merchant Shipping (Oil Pollution Preparedness Response and Co-operation Convention) Regulations 1998, the 2015 amendments and Maritime and Coastguard Agency requirements. The service covers surface water pollution monitoring and control, environmental protection and safety training. Work is delivered at the Dockyard Port of Portsmouth. This is a public-sector environmental and emergency-response service requirement for an operator able to maintain continuous readiness and respond quickly to an oil pollution incident in a defence port environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Adler and Allan Ltd. It used a below-threshold open competition under the defence and security light-touch regime, with tenders evaluated on total price. The tender deadline was 28 May 2026 at 16:30, and the enquiry deadline was 15 May 2026 at 16:30. The estimated lot value was £30,000 excluding VAT, or £36,000 including VAT. The awarded contract value is £8,913 excluding VAT, or £10,695 including VAT. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. There was one completed lot, covering the full oil spill response requirement.

This award shows established demand from Defence Equipment and Support for a specialist oil pollution response provider supporting a major naval port. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide continuous 24/7/365 availability, rapid mobilisation for Tier 2 oil spill incidents and effective surface water pollution monitoring and control. It would also need to understand environmental protection duties in a maritime setting and meet the operational expectations of the Merchant Shipping oil pollution preparedness regulations, their later amendments and Maritime and Coastguard Agency requirements. Relevant capability includes emergency response planning, trained response personnel, suitable pollution-control resources and the ability to deliver safety training. Experience of working in secure or defence-related dockyard environments would strengthen a supplier’s position.
