## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has recently awarded a contract for "Commercial Consultancy" aimed at developing the UK's technology roadmap to achieve zero emissions in shipping by 2050, as per HM Government's Clean Maritime Plan. This procurement falls under the category of procurement consultancy services and was processed through a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 25th November 2020 and concluded on 25th March 2021, valued at £39,050, with delivery expected in the South East region of England. The award notice was published on 13th August 2021.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for companies offering procurement consultancy services that possess the requisite expertise in complex technical projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, especially those who can demonstrate their capacity to attract market interest and provide best value for public funding. Given the focus on sustainability and innovation, businesses aligned with environmental technologies and consultancy are likely to find further opportunities in similar contracts.

The complexity and volume of activity in the pipeline demands additional resource at short notice.
