## Summary

The Maritime & Coastguard Agency is currently at the award stage for a contract titled "Contract for the Provision of an Emergency Towing Vessel (ETV)", classified under anti-pollution ship services. This procurement process, initiated under a tender mechanism, has a contract value of £28,600,000 and involves a duration of 1,800 days. The agreement will extend the existing contract for the provision of a Salvage Tug or Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessel, ensuring immediate standby for emergency towage services in the UK, particularly in the Dover Strait and southwestern approaches. Key dates include the contract being signed on 15 June 2021, with the contract extension aimed at facilitating a broader procurement process following a study that was published in March 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in marine services, particularly those involved in emergency towage and anti-pollution operations. Companies that operate salvage tugs or similar vessels, as well as those with expertise in maritime logistics and environmental protection services, would be well-positioned to compete. The need for enhanced ETV coverage along critical UK shipping routes highlights the growing demand in this sector, paving the way for robust service providers to make their mark in public procurement and expand their operational footprint.
