## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), located in Southampton, England, has completed the award stage of a public procurement process for a technical training services contract titled "Surveyor Technical Training: Fibre Reinforced Plastic Boat Technology". This initiative falls under the industry category of technical training services (CPV code 80531200) and holds geographic relevance to several regions, including the United Kingdom and British Oversea Territories. The contract, awarded to East Coast Boatbuilders Ltd, is valued at £75,390 and will run from 13th October 2025 to 12th October 2028. The procurement, conducted under a negotiated procedure without prior publication, was necessitated by the lack of suitable tenders in an open procedure, and the tender process, as per the Public Contract Regulations 2015, concluded on 21st August 2025.

This contract creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in technical and nautical training services, especially those with expertise in innovative marine technologies such as Fibre Reinforced Plastic Boat Technology. The procurement process prioritised small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations with social value commitments, providing an advantageous opportunity for these entities to gain valuable government contracts. Companies that possess capabilities in advanced maritime technology training, particularly those positioned to operate within various international locations as needed, would be well-suited to compete in future iterations of similar tenders. Such contracts are instrumental in fostering business growth and enhancing the reputation of suppliers who actively contribute to maritime training excellence.
