The contract, valued at £250,000 GBP, involves procuring financial advisory services to support the replacement of aerial dispersant spray services worth around £8m per annum. The tender, which was part of a mini-competition from the Management Consultancy Framework, is in the selective procurement stage. The contract period spans from September 4, 2023, to March 4, 2026, with a tender period ending on August 1, 2023. This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specializing in procurement consultancy services to engage with the MCA. The contract with KPMG LLP focuses on providing expert financial advice throughout the aerial spray procurement process. Businesses equipped to handle long-term arrangements, with experience in financial assessments, pricing negotiations, and contract drafting, would be well-suited to compete. The tender, initiated as part of a review to ensure efficient and cost-effective oil spill response services, offers a chance for service providers to contribute to vital maritime safety measures in the South West region of the United Kingdom. ## Notice The MCA requires specialist financial advice to support it in its procurement to replace the current contracted aerial dispersant spray services which are due to expire on 28 February 2024 (28 February 2025 if an extension option is utilised) and associated oil spill response services. Collectively these services are currently worth circa PS8m per annum and will likely be retendered under a long term arrangement (8-10 years). As part of its review of resources the MCA will be exploring how the delivery of future oil spill response services is structured in terms of contractual arrangements to ensure they are fit for purpose, efficient, cost effective and collaborative; financial advice will be crucial for this assessment. The financial advisors working on this requirement will provide expert advice throughout the aerial spray procurement - in the development of procurement documentation including selection questionnaire, invitation to tender and associated scoring criteria and weightings, assisting in the drafting of the new contract, ensuring it represents best value for money, ensuring bidders are financially fit for purpose, ensuring the contract (including pricing) is professionally negotiated and providing timely advice on financial matters that arise throughout the procurement. The procurement activity was conducted by the form of a mini-competition from Lot 4 (Finance) of the Management Consultancy Framework (MCF3). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/721ad80f-e3bd-4691-9095-02fcbe46826a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | 1 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Aug 2023 | | Contract period | 3 Sep 2023 - 4 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £250,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MCA - MARITIME AND COASTGUARD AGENCY | | Locality | SOUTHAMPTON | | Post town | Southampton | | Postcode | SO15 1EG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ32 Southampton | | Local authority | Southampton | | Electoral ward | Banister & Polygon | | Westminster constituency | Southampton Itchen | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | KPMG | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79418000 - Procurement consultancy services ## Release History - 7 Sep 2023 at 08:05 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/721ad80f-e3bd-4691-9095-02fcbe46826a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/721ad80f-e3bd-4691-9095-02fcbe46826a 7th September 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/88a496e7-969f-4688-b3bd-bf7cd460a54c n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8dbef929-e516-4908-bb5a-803a944400c0 n/a ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/maritime-and-coastguard-agency ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
