The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), headquartered in Southampton, England, has concluded the award stage of a tender titled "Information Access and Data Protection System (Inc FOIA)" under the industry category of software package and information systems. The procurement process involved a selective method facilitated through a framework agreement, targeting compliance with information rights management and operational data protection.

The awarded contract was published on 1st April 2026.

This tender represents significant opportunities for large enterprises specialising in secure software solutions due to its focus on managing information rights and data protection systems.
