## Summary

CalMac Ferries Limited, based at the Ferry Terminal in Gourock, UK, initiated a procurement process for a framework agreement focused on securing temporary seagoing staff. This procurement falls under the services category with a selective method and competitive procedure with negotiation. The contract, identified as CSHR25-474, aimed to establish three suitable suppliers. It was initially in the tender stage in May 2025, with a submission deadline of 2nd June 2025, but was unfortunately cancelled as of late June 2025. The procurement is of strategic importance, and it covers the UKM region under the legal framework identified as CPV 79600000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses with experience in maritime staffing services to expand their portfolio. The framework agreement allowed up to three participants, providing an ideal situation for firms capable of supplying skilled seagoing personnel. Companies excelling in technical competencies, quality service delivery, and competitive pricing would have been well-positioned to benefit from this procurement opportunity. The anticipated value was £5,936,535.91, highlighting potential financial growth through this engagement for selected suppliers. Moreover, the contract's possible extension options and the scope for electronic submission indicate a progressive and adaptable business avenue for suitable candidates.
