Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has concluded a procurement process for a variation of the PageOne Communications services, primarily involving multimedia equipment, with a total contract value of £22,600. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract period ran from 26th March 2021 to 2nd April 2021. The tender process completed on 25th March 2021, and the award notice was published on 16th September 2021, indicating that the contract has been awarded to PageOne Communications Limited.

This tender presents a potential opportunity for businesses specialising in multimedia equipment and communications services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The MCA's shift away from pager services suggests an open market for innovative communication solutions, offering growth opportunities for firms able to provide modern alternatives or support services in the area of public safety communications.
