Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency commissioned refurbishment and alteration works to deliver a fully operational Coastguard Rescue Station at Broadford. The project provides fit-for-purpose accommodation and associated facilities for Coastguard Rescue Teams, supporting operational capability, staff welfare and health and safety compliance. The works are to meet the agency’s operational standards and requirements, enabling effective coastguard response. This is a single-site building refurbishment project rather than a supply contract or a wider programme of station works. Delivery is in Broadford, Scotland.

The procurement was completed and awarded following an open, below-threshold competition. The contract was awarded to 7 Formation Limited on 20 August 2026, and signed on 8 October 2026. Its value is £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 8 October to 7 December 2026. The procurement was divided into one lot, which was marked as suitable for SMEs. Award was based on the most advantageous tender. One bid was received, from an SME, and one bid reached the final stage. The initial tender deadline was 10 July 2026, with enquiries due by 3 July 2026.

For firms considering similar future work for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, this award demonstrates demand for building refurbishment and alteration that turns existing premises into a fully operational rescue station. A credible supplier needs to deliver complete accommodation and associated facilities, while meeting the agency’s operational standards and addressing staff welfare and health and safety requirements. The single-lot award and SME suitability indicate that a small or medium-sized contractor can compete for a project of this scale; the award to an SME shows that such a supplier was selected. Relevant experience would include coordinating refurbishment works through to operational readiness and demonstrating the ability to meet site-specific requirements. This is evidence of the buyer’s requirement and procurement route, not an invitation to tender for this completed contract.
