Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), headquartered in Southampton, England, has completed a tender process titled "Official Charts for the CNIS System" in the navigation services industry category. This procurement was aimed at acquiring professional series charts required by UK HMCG Vessel Traffic Services operators at Dover for the English Channel. The tender followed a direct procurement method under a single tender action due to its classification below the threshold. The procurement reached the award stage on 25 April 2025, with the contract scheduled to be active from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2026. The scope of delivery encompasses various regions including the UK and British Overseas Territories.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large organisations able to meet the specific requirements of the Vessel Traffic Mandated Service. Companies in the navigation or maritime services sector, particularly those with experience in providing specialised navigation charts, would be well-suited to compete for similar tenders in the future. Despite the MCA's selection of ChartWorld GmbH as the supplier using a single tender action, firms that can offer innovative charting solutions may find potential competitive advantages in related procurement opportunities, particularly within or adjacent to British and European waters.
