Summary of the contracting process

David MacBrayne HR (UK) Limited bought a framework agreement for onboard medical-care training for Masters, Skippers and Chief Officers in its group. The training is for seafarers designated to take charge of medical care on vessels. It combines practical and theoretical instruction, covering casualty care, nursing, diseases, alcohol and drug abuse, dental care, gynaecology and childbirth, care of rescued people, death at sea, disease prevention and medical record keeping. Delivery must be at a venue in or around Glasgow to suit delegates’ transport needs and costs. This is specialist maritime training rather than general first-aid provision, aimed at organisations able to teach medical care to the required seafarer standards.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Stream Marine Training Ltd, which signed it on 28 September 2026. The procedure was open, with a single-supplier framework agreement. The contract value is £62,000; the original estimated procurement value was £66,420. The stated initial contract duration is 720 days, with up to three 12-month extensions and a maximum term of 60 months. The procurement reached its submission deadline on 27 August 2026. Evaluation required evidence of the provider’s last three years of company turnover and the stated insurance cover, alongside the technical requirement for MCA approval and compliance with section A-VI/4, paragraphs 4 to 6 of the STCW Code. Two bids were received, both from SMEs.

This award demonstrates demand from a ferry operator for specialist onboard medical-care training for senior seafarers, delivered around Glasgow. A credible competitor would need to be an MCA-approved training provider able to meet the STCW Code requirements and deliver both practical and theoretical instruction across the listed medical-care topics. The buyer also required evidence of company turnover for the previous three years, employers’ liability insurance of £5 million, public liability insurance of £1 million and professional indemnity insurance of £5 million. Suppliers would need the capacity to accommodate delegate transport and cost considerations through a Glasgow-area venue. The award went to an SME after two SME bids, showing that this requirement was accessible to smaller providers with the necessary maritime accreditation, coverage and training capability.
