## About this tender

The MCA has a requirement to undertake periodic and reactive aerial surveillance flights throughout the UK's Exclusive Economic Zone. The purpose of these flights is to determine the presence, size and type of pollution on the water.

The primary means by which the MCA is alerted of potential pollution is via satellite radar. The MCA will then aim to use the proposed service to verify the alert and to determine the size and type of pollution. The MCA will also coordinate additional surveillance patrols on behalf of the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

The end of the existing Aerial Surveillance contract presents the MCA with the opportunity to review its requirement a seek further information in relation to the provision of an Aerial Surveillance service.

In publishing this Market Consultation, the Authority is not seeking tenders in response to an Aerial Surveillance requirement. This Market Consultation only seeks to alert suppliers to the outline requirements for a service and invites interested organisations to comment.

Feedback put forward by suppliers in response to this consultation will be treated confidentially. However, the feedback provided might be used to help the Authority develop its Invitation to Tender (ITT).
