## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has completed the procurement process for vessel support in connection with the Falmouth exercise planned for the week commencing 7th October 2024. The procurement, under the industry category of "Ships and boats," required the provision of two 12.5-metre RIBs to assist with operations. This contract, which was executed through an open procedure below the threshold, attracted a total value of £30,000. The procurement period concluded on 9th September 2024, with the contract period running from 10th September 2024 to 31st October 2024, covering activities primarily in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage with a prominent national agency such as the MCA. The suitability criteria favoured SMEs, creating an advantageous environment for these companies to secure contracts and demonstrate their capabilities on a high-profile project. Businesses involved in marine operations, vessel hire, and support services were well-positioned to compete for this tender, and success in such contracts can substantially enhance their market reputation and open avenues for future public procurement engagements.
