UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency intends to buy three multi-skimmer LMS systems, each with hot and cold water injection. These are rescue and emergency equipment for the national stockpile used by HM Coastguard’s Counter Pollution and Salvage teams. The procurement is for the supply of equipment rather than a service or works contract. The buyer is the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, a central government body based in Southampton. The equipment is intended to support the teams’ counter-pollution and salvage response capability. The planned procurement is arranged as a single lot.

This process is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. The procurement is planned as a single lot, with an estimated value of £141,575.21 excluding VAT (£169,890.25 including VAT). The buyer expects the contract to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027. A subsequent notice is expected on 9 November 2026; this is the buyer’s indicative timetable, not a bid deadline. The planned goods procurement is subject to the Procurement Act 2023. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement may suit suppliers able to provide multi-skimmer LMS equipment together with hot- and cold-water injection systems. The intended users are HM Coastguard’s Counter Pollution and Salvage teams, and the stated purpose is to support their national stockpile. Suppliers should consider whether they can supply three systems and meet the requirements that will be set out when the procurement reaches the tender stage. The buyer has identified small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable for the lot, so businesses in those groups may wish to monitor the process and prepare for the subsequent procurement. No specific technical standards, accreditations or prior experience requirements are described at this planning stage.
