This boom is to be in 8 x 50 metre lengths and will be fit to be deployed in open waters around the UK. It is envisaged that the nominal size of this boom would be in the region of 1500mm. If Tenderers supply more than one type of boom of this size, we would request that options are provided. The boom should be heavy duty with high visibility markings. The boom will be part of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency’s stockpile of counter pollution equipment and will be used, in the event of a major oil spill, for the containment or recovery of spilled oil offshore. The boom may also be used in practical training exercises to prepare for this eventuality. Our preferred method of storage, distribution and deployment for the booms is hydraulically driven reels. The Tenderer should provide a separate quotation and details for three off hydraulic boom reels. Upon delivery, two of these reels will each have 200m of the required boom already wound on, the third reel will be empty ## CPV classification Services related to oil pollution Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/b044c707-adc8-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
