## Summary

The Maritime & Coastguard Agency, based in Southampton, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process titled "The Administration of the Government Support for Maritime Training Scheme (SMarT) 2022." This initiative falls under the services industry category and addresses administration services related to government support grants for maritime training. The procurement was initiated as a limited negotiation without the publication of a contract notice, aiming to secure a continuation of services prior to the expiry of the existing contract on 31 March 2022. The contract was awarded to Ricardo Energy and Environment on 7 March 2022, with a contract value of £213,059.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in administration services within the maritime training sector. Companies that possess experience in managing government grants, especially those familiar with maritime training schemes, can leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings. As the contract involves ongoing assessments and the potential development of new delivery models, businesses capable of innovation in service management technology will be particularly well-suited to compete in future procurement opportunities.

### Procurement Information

The Maritime & Coastguard Agency is currently in the process of conducting an ongoing in depth review in order to implement the Government Digital Services (GDS) process to develop a new requirement for both SMarT and SMarT Plus which meets the GDS model requirements. This process has enabled us to assess potential alternative user friendly models of service delivery to manage claims for both schemes and consider the requirement to build new technology. The current contract for the management of SMarT claims expires on 31 March 2022, pending our evaluation of the results of this review, and to ensure a continuation of this service, it is our intention to direct award a short-term contract to the incumbent supplier, Ricardo Energy and Environment.
