## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has awarded a contract for the sponsorship of the National Water Safety Forum's activity promoting the 'Call, Tell, Throw' message. The contract, with a value of £47,500, falls under the advertising and marketing services category. The procurement method used was a single tender action below threshold. The contract period is from 3rd April 2023 to 2nd April 2024, targeting businesses in the services sector located in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender opportunity, managed by the MCA, presents a chance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to participate. Businesses offering advertising and marketing services, particularly those keen on water safety initiatives, are well-suited to compete. The sponsorship contract aims to support the NWSF's goal of halving accidental drownings in the UK by 2026, providing a unique business growth opportunity for companies aligned with this cause.

## Notice

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is a leading member of National Water Safety Forum (NWSF) which ran a successful 'Respect the Water' campaign last year using funding gained through the Trinity House Fund. For 2023/24 this funding is not available therefore the MCA plans to provide limited sponsorship to allow the NWSF to carry out activity to promote the important Call, Tell, Throw message. NWSF has ministerial support and aims to halve all accidental drownings in the UK by 2026.
