The procurement process is currently in the active stage, with the tender deadline set for 2nd October 2023.

This tender opportunity by the MCA presents a chance for businesses in the general machinery sector to supply an essential system for oil recovery in marine environments. Companies offering specialized machinery and services for oil spill containment and recovery would be well-suited to compete in this open procedure tender process. Interested parties must submit their bids by the specified deadline and ensure compliance with the bid validity period of 90 days.
