## Summary

The procurement process involves CalMac Ferries Limited, located in Gourock, United Kingdom, concerning a Framework Agreement for the Provision of Temporary Seagoing Staff. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically recruitment services, and is at the award stage, though it is noted as cancelled as of 27th June 2025. The competitive procedure was planned with negotiation under a selective procurement method, aiming to establish a framework with up to three qualified suppliers. Despite being initially active, the award status became unsuccessful due to discontinuation.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses experienced in providing temporary seagoing staff, particularly those with capabilities in recruitment services. Suitable businesses would ideally have strong fiscal health indicators and sufficient insurance coverage as per the tender requirements. Even though this specific opportunity was cancelled, suppliers who can meet stringent technical, quality, and financial criteria are well-positioned to compete in future similar opportunities that may arise, given the recurring need for such services by operators like CalMac Ferries Limited.
