## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has awarded a contract for pollution-control vessels services titled "SS James Eagan Layne Counter Pollution Support - Vessel Hire Services". The procurement process was initiated through a direct procurement method with a single tender action below the threshold. The contract value is approximately £151,446.33 GBP. The tender period ended on 20th November 2023, with the contract period starting on 4th December 2023 and ending on 31st December 2023.

This opportunity for business growth is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the services industry, particularly those with expertise in pollution-control vessels. Businesses located in various regions, including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom, can consider competing for this tender. Being an award stage procurement, interested businesses should focus on demonstrating their capabilities in providing timely and effective pollution-control vessel services to meet the MCA's environmental protection obligations.

## Notice

In November 2022, the wreck began to leak oil in a continuous stream and had the potential to cause environment pollution Whitsand Bay. MCA Counter Pollution and Salvage (CPS) coordinated a response and in December 2022 the wreck was successfully, albeit temporarily 'patched' using magnetic blanking plates reinforced by several hundred sandbags filled with concrete. The matter was then referred to the Department for Transport (DfT) and was included in wider ongoing discussion on potentially polluting wrecks in the UK EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone). Recently the wreck started leaking again and a full response was stood up by the Coastguard, vessels were required for the CPS at sea and on land response, going out to the market in a competitive tender exercise during an emergency response situation would cause significant delays that would likely have a severe impact on the MCA's efforts to fulfil its obligations to protect the marine environment.
