## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency procured search and rescue aviation tasking and co-ordination training services for HM Coastguard operational personnel. The requirement includes developing and localising training materials, together with delivering instructor-led training. This is a specialist personnel-training service, classified under CPV 79632000. The buyer is a central government public authority based in Southampton. The service is intended to support operational Coastguard staff rather than supply equipment or construct facilities. The selected supplier, ASG LTD, is an SME based in Dublin, Ireland. Businesses with expertise in aviation search and rescue operations, tasking and co-ordination, instructional design, training-material adaptation and delivery to operational personnel would be relevant comparators for this requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency used a direct procedure below the threshold without competition. ASG LTD was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with an optional 12-month extension allowing the maximum period to 31 August 2028. Its value is £90,000 excluding VAT and £108,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published information identifies the training services and delivery requirements, but does not set out an award scoring basis or separate lot values. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition.

This award indicates a defined requirement for specialist search and rescue aviation training within the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. A credible future supplier would need to combine operational understanding of aviation tasking and co-ordination with the ability to develop, localise and maintain training materials. It would also need instructors capable of delivering structured training to HM Coastguard operational personnel, with enough subject knowledge and delivery capacity to support an operational public-sector workforce. ASG LTD’s selection shows that an SME can provide the required service through a direct, below-threshold route. Competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate relevant aviation search and rescue training experience, strong instructional capability, adaptable materials and reliable delivery arrangements for this buyer’s personnel.
