## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has awarded a contract for the SS James Eagan Layne Counter Pollution Support - Dive and Remote Operated Vessel Services in the diving services industry category. The procurement, which falls outside the scope of regulations, had a tender period ending on 1st December 2023 and a contract period from 4th to 31st December 2023. The contract value is £742,514.39 GBP. The MCA's efforts to protect the marine environment were central to this emergency response situation.

This awarded contract provides opportunities for businesses in the service sector, particularly those offering diving and vessel services. There is a focus on SMEs, and companies with expertise in emergency response situations and marine pollution mitigation would be well-suited to compete. Businesses located in the South West region of the United Kingdom could find this contract particularly relevant for their growth and expansion.

## 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.
