## Summary

The procurement process concerns the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), which is seeking support for an oil spill response project titled "Oil Spill Response - Counter Pollution and Salvage Officer Support". This initiative falls under the broader category of business services, specifically focusing on law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The completed award process took place with a contract value of £21,000, with the contract period running from 6th January 2021 to 5th July 2021, based in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted via a selective method and was part of a call-off from a framework agreement.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental management, consulting services, and incident response strategies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-positioned to compete, provided they possess expertise in aligning operational practices with civil contingencies and incident command systems. The nature of the tender underscores the demand for innovative solutions in pollution response, making it an attractive opportunity for businesses within these sectors to expand their reach and capabilities.

## Notice

There is a requirement to develop a CPSO competence framework to align the function with other HMCG standards and there is a requirement to consolidate the transfer of the CPSOs from their old HQ branch into the HMCG divisional structures and to seek better alignment of their working practices with wider Civil Contingencies structures and Incident Command System (ICS) principles. This expertise is not available within MCA at this time.
