## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) awarded a contract for the SS James Eagan Layne Counter Pollution Support - Rib Services in the services category. The contract value is £190,911.02 GBP and was procured through a direct single tender action method. The contract period runs from 4th December 2023 to 31st December 2023, with the tender period ending on 20th November 2023. The MCA is the contracting authority located in Southampton, England, focusing on pollution-control vessels.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the maritime services industry, particularly those providing pollution-control vessels. Businesses suited for this tender should have the capacity to provide counter-pollution support services promptly and effectively. The MCA's award to the supplier, Northern Rib Hire Limited, highlights the potential for specialised companies in maritime operations to secure contracts with government agencies like the MCA.

## Notice

In November 2022, the wreck began to leak oil in a continuous stream and had the potential to cause environment pollution Whitsand Bay. MCA Counter Pollution and Salvage (CPS) coordinated a response and in December 2022 the wreck was successfully, albeit temporarily 'patched' using magnetic blanking plates reinforced by several hundred sandbags filled with concrete. The matter was then referred to the Department for Transport (DfT) and was included in wider ongoing discussion on potentially polluting wrecks in the UK EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone). Recently the wreck started leaking again and a full response was stood up by the Coastguard, vessels were required for the CPS at sea and on land response, going out to the market in a competitive tender exercise during an emergency response situation would cause significant delays that would likely have a severe impact on the MCA's efforts to fulfil its obligations to protect the marine environment.
