The contract is being directly awarded under the Procurement Act 2023 provisions relating to additional or repeat services. The requirement forms part of an ongoing programme of vessel maintenance, servicing, survey support and regulatory compliance works for the Isles of Scilly Ambulance Boat "Star of Life".
