## Summary

The procurement process titled "UKSR Digital Extension - Interim Partners" was initiated by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). The contracting authority, located at Spring Place, Southampton, England, is seeking services related to the supply of personnel, specifically temporary staff, reflecting a need for interim management resources due to the launch of a new digital registration system and changes stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. The contract value is £51,660, with the procurement method being selective, calling off from an existing framework agreement. The tender period ended on 30th December 2020, while the contract commenced on 31st December 2020 and is set to conclude on 7th March 2021.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in public sector contracts that require personnel supply services. Companies which excel in managing temporary staffing solutions and possess experience in navigating the complexities of public sector projects would find these requirements well-suited to their capabilities, offering a strategic avenue for business expansion within the public procurement landscape.
