## Summary

The latest public procurement process is initiated by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) for the "EXTENSION - Specialist Procurement Service". This procurement falls under the category of procurement consultancy services and is located in the South East of the United Kingdom. The process has reached the award stage, with a contract value of £75,145. The contract period began on 1st April 2020 and concluded on 30th September 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in procurement consultancy services.
