MCA renews nationwide service contract
Survitec Group has won a major contract with the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA) to service all the lifejackets used at MCA bases throughout the United Kingdom.
The three year contract covers both Survitec’s own Crewsaver branded lifejackets as well as other jackets supplied to the MCA by Baltic and Mullion. The products vary in age but all require an annual service. Under the terms of the contract, service fees will be fixed for two years, after which there will be a review.
Although Survitec has been contracted to service the MCA’s lifejackets for several years, the company won the business again on the back of a highly competitive tender. Survitec’s UK services business has lifejacket service stations at key locations across the country so it can provide a local service for drop off, servicing and collection while offering the logistical support, efficiency and competitive pricing that comes with being a major player in the marine safety market. All routine lifejacket service work is normally carried out within seven working days.
