Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) recently completed a procurement process for the "OKTA Managed Service" contract, valued at £145,000. This project falls under the software package and information systems industry category, and involves providing ongoing licenses, managed support, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the MCA’s customer identity and access management platform. Covering a wide geographic area, including the United Kingdom and other global locations, the contract was awarded following a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. Key stages of the process were finalized on 19th March 2026, with the contract period starting on 1st April 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in software and information technology services, particularly those experienced in managing identity access management platforms. While the contract has already been awarded to CATAPULT CX LIMITED, a large-scale enterprise, similar future tenders could be highly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises looking to expand their services in the public sector. Companies equipped with the expertise to deliver high-quality managed services and solutions for robust IT platforms should closely monitor MCA procurements for such opportunities.
