The engagement period for suppliers is set to conclude on 8th June 2018, with a supplier engagement event scheduled for 12th and 13th June 2018 at the MCA's Bristol storage facility. This early engagement seeks to gather supplier input to finalise the specifications before issuing a formal tender advertisement. This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in manufacturing or supplying hydraulic technology to expand their business. Companies that can offer innovative solutions for transportable hydraulic power packs compliant with UK and European regulations, particularly those suitable for marine environments and hazardous conditions, would be particularly well-suited to participate in this tender process. Engaging with the MCA during the supplier meeting could prove advantageous, allowing potential suppliers to understand the agency's specific needs and potentially influence the final contract specifications. ## Notice The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) wishes to purchase up to two ATEX Zone 2 Hydraulic Power Packs, compliant with British and European Legislation on hazardous area working. The Power Packs will be part of the MCA's counter pollution stockpile and, in the event of a pollution incident, will be used to power hydraulically driven pollution response equipment, primarily cargo transfer pumps, in areas where there is a possibility of encountering hazardous gases or vapours. The majority of the time the power packs will be stored in a warehouse, but in the event of an incident may be deployed to a port, transferred to a ship or an offshore installation and must therefore be transportable and suitable for outside in marine environments. The MCA is seeking to engage with potential suppliers of these power packs prior to finalising a specification for a formal contract advertisement. We have therefore arranged a supplier engagement event, where each potential supplier will have the chance to view some of the equipment the power packs would be used with; receive a technical briefing on what we require from the power packs; and discuss ideas for what could be supplied to meet the brief with our Counter Pollution Team. We have set aside two days - 12th and 13th June 2018 - to meet with potential suppliers at our Bristol storage facility: Unit 2 Willment Way Avonmouth Bristol BS11 8DJ. Each potential supplier will be allocated a two-hour appointment to meet with the MCA, on a first come, first served basis. Should you wish to attend the engagement event, please contact our Counter Pollution Team at william.crocker@mcga.gov.uk or ryan.carter@mcga.gov.uk, with your top three preferred appointment times and the number of people your organisation will be sending to the engagement event. The appointment times available are: Tuesday 12th June 2018: 10am - 12 noon 12 noon - 2pm 2pm - 4pm 4pm - 6pm Wednesday 13th June 2018: 10am - 12 noon 12 noon - 2pm 2pm - 4pm 4pm - 6pm. Please note: while our current intention is to issue a formal contract advertisement for intrinsically safe hydraulic power packs in the near future, this early engagement notice is not an invitation to tender and we do not guarantee it will lead to one. Furthermore, while we are interested in any ideas from industry as to what should be included in the specification, we do not guarantee to incorporate any particular suggestion. Additional information: Please note that to comply with the requirements of fairness and equal treatment in public procurement, should this engagement event lead to the publication of a formal contract advertisement a copy of the technical briefing from the supplier engagement event, plus copies of any questions asked and answers given (in anonymised form) will be made available to all potential suppliers as an attachment to the call for competition. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d99ddbf5-d61b-46a6-b6ed-145974aec47a | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 Jun 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MARITIME & COASTGUARD AGENCY | | Locality | SOUTHAMPTON | | Post town | Southampton | | Postcode | SO15 1EG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ32 Southampton | | Local authority | Southampton | | Electoral ward | Banister & Polygon | | Westminster constituency | Southampton Itchen | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42122210 - Hydraulic power packs ## Release History - 2 May 2018 at 15:09 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d99ddbf5-d61b-46a6-b6ed-145974aec47a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d99ddbf5-d61b-46a6-b6ed-145974aec47a 2nd May 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
