## Summary

The public procurement process titled "PSA _ Thames Wreck Management" is organised by the Defra Network eTendering Portal and focuses on the recovery and removal of sunken and abandoned vessels on the River Thames. This project, classified under architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, identifies two packages for proposals: Upper Reaches and Lower Reaches. The tender is currently in the 'active' stage, with a closing date for expression of interest set for 19th March 2021 and the contract period commencing on 5th July 2021 through to 3rd December 2021. The total contract value is £140,000 and interested bidders can register their interest on the relevant portal.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in marine engineering, environmental services, and waste management. Firms capable of managing diverse logistical challenges involved in recovering and disposing of vessels in a riverine environment would be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses with experience in collaborative tendering may benefit from the option to bid for one of the two service packages or both, enhancing their chances of securing contracts.
