This tender falls within the recruitment services industry category and is being conducted in Cambridge, England. Currently in the planning stage, the engagement activities seek feedback from potential suppliers, with a key deadline for interest registration by 14:00 on 16th July 2018. A supplier day is scheduled for the 19th and 20th of July, focusing on defining requirements for a contract valued at approximately £2.4 million over an estimated three-year term, with an option for a one-year extension. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSE), that possess the necessary maritime qualifications and certifications as outlined in the tender details. Companies with expertise in maritime labour, especially those aligned with the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) 2006 requirements, would be well-suited to participate. Engaging with BAS in the early stages of the tendering process will allow interested suppliers to better understand the scope of work and align their offerings with the needs of a world-leading polar science and research initiative. ## Notice British Antarctic Survey (BAS) will be tendering their Marine Contingency Workers services later this year, but want to get closer to the marketplace to help define their business requirements and contracting strategy. Equally BAS want to collaborate with suppliers by sharing these business requirements at an early stage and actively seek supplier feedback. Accordingly, a supplier day will be held on the 19th and 20th July where the representatives of BAS look forward to holding positive and engaging discussions with suppliers who share the passion for world leading polar science and research. To register your interest in attending one of the pre-market engagement days please email professionalservices@uksbs.co.uk by 14:00hrs on 16th July 2018, your email must include the reference PS18170.
