Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for marking and guarding the wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery for the financial year 2025-2026 was initiated by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, a central government public authority located in Southampton, UK. The contract pertains to miscellaneous services in the waters near Sheerness, Kent, and was concluded using a direct procurement method, applying the legal basis outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54, under a scenario that did not require competitive tendering due to its below-threshold valuation. The award was finalised on 10th March 2026, with the contract spanning from 11th to 18th March 2026. The supplier for this contract is the Port of Sheerness.

This tender represents an opportunity for SMEs, particularly those equipped to provide services in maritime security and local logistical support. Engaging in such contracts could expand business portfolios for companies operating within the services industry, especially those based in or around the Kent area. The direct procurement method highlights the necessity for businesses to maintain strong relations with public authorities to access similar non-competitive contracts in the future. Successful participation in this type of contract could lead to increased visibility and credibility within the public sector procurement landscape.
