## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) intends to procure ISO 9001 certification and audit services. The work is to support the agency’s ISO 9001 certification through audit services; the MCA is seeking to understand available delivery options and supplier capability before developing its requirements. This is a central government service requirement, classified as auditing services. The procurement is associated with one lot and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer is the MCA. No delivery location is identified for the work.

This process is at the planning stage: the MCA has announced an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It is undertaking early market engagement to refine its requirements, assess supplier capacity and inform its future procurement approach. The buyer expects suppliers to complete a market consultation questionnaire through the Department for Transport’s Jaggaer portal by 27 October 2026. The stated gross estimated value is £0. The anticipated contract period is 29 August 2027 to 28 August 2030, with a possible extension to 29 August 2032. The procurement is divided into one lot. The future procedure, selection requirements and contract award criteria have not yet been set out.

This engagement is relevant to suppliers that provide ISO 9001 certification and audit services, including SMEs. Firms with experience auditing management systems against ISO 9001 and delivering certification services to public-sector organisations are likely to be well placed to inform the MCA’s understanding of supplier capability and delivery options. The buyer is seeking market input on capacity and indicative costs as it develops a future procurement approach, so suppliers able to explain practical delivery models and the resources they can provide may help shape the requirement. Suppliers can use the consultation to show how their services could support the MCA’s certification needs. Participation is for market engagement and is not a tender bid.
