The MCA’s requirements are divided into three parts :\n.\nMCA Requirement will cover the following:\nPart 1: Noise Risk Assessment and Recommended Levels of Hearing Protection\nA feasibility study is required to determine the extent of noise exposure experienced by SCOO and CRO rescue team members during helicopter related operations. These personnel assist with the removal of casualties from helicopters when transferring to ambulances or hospital facilities, and they may also be exposed during live rescue operations when helicopters are required to hover overhead. This results in exposure to high noise levels and significant downward pressure.\nThe initial scope covers three helicopter types, assessed in possibility three geographical areas, to understand typical noise levels and exposure profiles. The study may be extended depending on initial findings.\nPart 2: Noise Risk Assessment for Marine Surveyors During Vessel Inspections\nMarine Surveyors frequently access high noise environments such as engine rooms, generator spaces, and other machinery compartments during vessel inspections. Although hearing protection is currently provided, the MCA requires a clearer understanding through dosimetry measurements of:\n•\tthe cumulative noise exposure experienced over time, and\n•\twhether existing hearing protection remains suitable and sufficient.\nPart 3: Assessment of Noise Exposure from Headset Use in Rescue Coordination Centres\nRescue Coordinators in JRCC and MRCC centres use communication headsets continuously, sometimes for extended periods (over one to two hours) depending on the duration and complexity of rescue missions. Staff have reported concerns related to constant static noise and the potential impact on their long term hearing.\nThe MCA seeks to determine:\n•\tthe cumulative level of noise exposure from headset use, and\n•\tthe associated risk to employee hearing health.\nThis questionnaire is intended to furnish the MCA with the key information it requires to plan a fair and open procurement for this service, including:\n•\tMarket appetite for participating in a tender process.", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "71317200", "description": "Health and safety services" } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UK", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "value": { "amountGross": 130000, "amount": 104000, "currency": "GBP" }, "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": false, "techniques": { "hasFrameworkAgreement": true }, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "suitability": { "sme": true, "vcse": true }, "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2026-07-01T00:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2029-06-01T23:59:59+01:00" }, "description": null, "status": "planning" } ], "communication": { "futureNoticeDate": "2026-05-19T23:59:59+01:00" }, "status": "planning" }, "language": "en", "extensions": [ "https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/latest/en/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_amendment_rationale_classifications_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_budget_breakdown_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_contract_completion_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_documentation_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_pagination_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_performance_failures_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_suitability_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portaledcahn/ocds_Links_extension/main/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cabinetoffice/ocds_uk_extension/main/extension.json" ] }, { "buyerID": [], "id": "083179-2026", "tag": [ "tender" ], "date": "2026-09-02T16:06:08+01:00", "initiationType": "tender", "ocid": "ocds-h6vhtk-069255", "parties": [ { "name": "Maritime and Coastguard Agency", "id": "GB-PPON-PCWN-9665-QVMZ", "identifier": { "scheme": "GB-PPON", "id": "PCWN-9665-QVMZ" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "105 Commercial Road", "locality": "Southampton", "postalCode": "SO15 1EG", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom", "region": "UKJ32" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "Contracts@mcga.gov.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "classifications": [ { "scheme": "UK_CA_TYPE", "id": "publicAuthorityCentralGovernment", "description": "Public authority - central government" } ] } } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-PPON-PCWN-9665-QVMZ", "name": "Maritime and Coastguard Agency" }, "tender": { "id": "TCA 3/7/1929", "legalBasis": { "id": "2023/54", "scheme": "UKPGA", "uri": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" }, "title": "Health and Safety Noise Assessment Project", "description": "The MCA’s requirements are divided into three parts :\n.\nMCA Requirement will cover the following:\nPart 1: Noise Risk Assessment and Recommended Levels of Hearing Protection\nA feasibility study is required to determine the extent of noise exposure experienced by SCOO and CRO rescue team members during helicopter related operations.

The MCA’s requirements are divided into three parts :\n.\nMCA Requirement will cover the following:\nPart 1: Noise Risk Assessment and Recommended Levels of Hearing Protection\nA feasibility study is required to determine the extent of noise exposure experienced by SCOO and CRO rescue team members during helicopter related operations. These personnel assist with the removal of casualties from helicopters when transferring to ambulances or hospital facilities, and they may also be exposed during live rescue operations when helicopters are required to hover overhead. This results in exposure to high noise levels and significant downward pressure.\nThe initial scope covers three helicopter types, assessed in possibility three geographical areas, to understand typical noise levels and exposure profiles. The study may be extended depending on initial findings.\nPart 2: Noise Risk Assessment for Marine Surveyors During Vessel Inspections\nMarine Surveyors frequently access high noise environments such as engine rooms, generator spaces, and other machinery compartments during vessel inspections. Although hearing protection is currently provided, the MCA requires a clearer understanding through dosimetry measurements of:\n•\tthe cumulative noise exposure experienced over time, and\n•\twhether existing hearing protection remains suitable and sufficient.\nPart 3: Assessment of Noise Exposure from Headset Use in Rescue Coordination Centres\nRescue Coordinators in JRCC and MRCC centres use communication headsets continuously, sometimes for extended periods (over one to two hours) depending on the duration and complexity of rescue missions. Staff have reported concerns related to constant static noise and the potential impact on their long term hearing.\nThe MCA seeks to determine:\n•\tthe cumulative level of noise exposure from headset use, and\n•\tthe associated risk to employee hearing health.\nThis questionnaire is intended to furnish the MCA with the key information it requires to plan a fair and open procurement for this service, including:\n•\tMarket appetite for participating in a tender process." }, { "releaseID": "083179-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-02T16:06:08+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "The MCA’s requirements are divided into three parts :\n.\nMCA Requirement will cover the following:\nPart 1: Noise Risk Assessment and Recommended Levels of Hearing Protection\nA feasibility study is required to determine the extent of noise exposure experienced by SCOO and CRO rescue team members during helicopter related operations.
