Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Seafarer Biometric ID Card Implementation - Market Consultation". The focus is on software package and information systems within the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom. This consultation aims to explore the necessary avenues to issue biometric identity documents for seafarers, meeting the International Labour Organization's regulatory mandates. A key date to note is the engagement end date set for 11th November 2024. The MCA is seeking input on the process, technology, physical infrastructure, and other operational needs to develop a solution that integrates with their current Microsoft Dynamics CRM system, SDS.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software packages, biometric technology, and system integration to contribute to a substantial public sector project. SMEs and VCSE organisations are particularly encouraged to participate, as the MCA is looking for detailed recommendations, realistic costing, implementation timeframes, risk assessments, and reference architecture from potential suppliers. Successful engagement could pave the way for partnerships and further contracting opportunities as the MCA moves towards developing and implementing this new system. Businesses will need to register on the DFT Procurement Management System "Jaggaer" to participate in the consultation.
