Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), located in Southampton, England, has completed its procurement process for the extension of support services for an Avaya IP Office Telephone System. Under the industry category of IP telephone services, the procurement follows a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, ensuring tailored supplier engagement. This contract covers a wide geographical span, including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, and beyond, with a contract period from 1st April 2026 to 30th June 2026. The award stage was finalized on 5th February 2026, with the contract valued at £2,730 GBP. Charterhouse Voice & Data Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London, has been selected to fulfil this requirement.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in telecommunications services, particularly those equipped to handle large scale, geographically diverse projects. SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) stand to benefit greatly from competing in such tender opportunities due to the suitability criteria favouring SMEs, despite the competitive landscape. Engaging in partnerships and providing competitive price proposals were likely crucial in Charterhouse Voice & Data Limited's successful bid for this procurement. Business growth can be achieved through gaining government contracts that bolster a company's portfolio within the electronic communication sector.
