## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is conducting a procurement process titled "In Country Support" within the health and safety consultancy services industry. This open procurement method aims to secure a supplier capable of providing close protection services in overseas locations, ensuring the safety of MHRA staff during inspections that are crucial for licensing pharmaceutical organisations. The tender period concluded on 2nd February 2018, with the contract period starting from 1st March 2018 and lasting until 31st March 2023. The total contract value is set at £118,000, whilst the awarded contract, valued at £64,234, was published on 23rd May 2018.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in security consultancy and protection services, particularly those experienced in working in international settings.

Additionally, entities with a history of collaboration with governmental bodies, especially in sensitive environments, will find this procurement avenue advantageous for expanding their market presence.

## Notice
