## Summary

The MCA - Maritime and Coastguard Agency has recently completed a contract extension titled "EXTENSION (SSRM) - Civil Hydrography Programme (CHP) contract," which involves the provision of hydrographic survey services for the SS Richard Montgomery. This procurement falls under the services category and is classified as CPV code 38290000, associated with surveying and hydrographic instruments. The contract commenced on 1st April 2021 and will now run until 31st March 2023, with a total value of £136,000. The procurement was executed through a direct method, specifically a single tender action below threshold, and the relevant delivery will take place in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, particularly those with expertise in hydrographic survey services and related fields. Companies that specialise in surveying, oceanographic, or hydrological instruments would find themselves well-suited to compete for future contracts within this programme, particularly given the established relationship with the current supplier, EGS LIMITED. Engaging with the MCA can lead to further collaboration and business growth within the maritime and coastal sector.
