Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, located in Southampton, United Kingdom, involves the acquisition of 'Long Service and Good Conduct Medals'. This process falls under the 'goods' category in the medals industry and was completed as of 2nd June 2026. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, below the competition threshold, leading to the award of a contract to a large entity, The Royal Mint. The contract term commenced on 7th May 2026 and concluded on 6th June 2026, with a gross value of £17,160. Notably, the process did not employ competition due to the procurement being categorised as below threshold, thus expediting the procurement cycle.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing and supplying ceremonial or award items. Although the process was conducted without open competition, businesses capable of providing unique or bespoke services may find chances for engagement in similar future proposals by establishing connections with relevant public bodies like the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The procurement of medals could present niche opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers within the awards and honours niche, particularly those meeting high-quality standards and possessing efficient production capabilities to fulfil government contracts.
