## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is seeking to procure an Offshore Containment & Recovery System for use in open waters around the UK. The system will be part of the MCA's Counter Pollution Equipment to recover oil spilled into the sea during marine oil spills. The contract has a value of £400,000 and falls under the goods procurement category. The tender deadline is on 10th March 2023, with the contract period starting on 22nd March 2023 and ending on 21st April 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing machinery and equipment, especially those specialising in oil spill recovery systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete due to the suitability indicated in the tender. The MCA's requirement for a system capable of operating in various marine conditions and the need for regular training exercises create avenues for business growth in the maritime equipment industry.

## Notice

The MCA wishes to purchase an Offshore Containment & Recovery System capable of operating in open waters. The system should be able to recover oil in sea currents up to 6 knots and be deployed and towed by a single vessel, with the option to use two vessels. The Oil Recovery and Containment System will be part of the MCA's stockpile of Counter Pollution Equipment and will be used, in the event of a major marine oil spill, for the recovery of oil spilled into the seas around the UK. The System will also be used on a regular basis for training exercises.
