Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has awarded a contract for the support and maintenance of their Short Course Database (SCDB) under a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract, valued at £24,425, spans from 17th July 2024 to 13th March 2025 with PDMS Ltd as the supplier. The procurement falls under the systems support services category (CPV 72253200) and is intended for execution in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This process is at the award stage, indicating completion, with critical deadlines having occurred earlier, including the tender period concluding on 16th July 2024.

This tender creates growth opportunities particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in providing IT support services. The project aligns well with businesses experienced in system maintenance and operational support, especially those capable of delivering services within a framework agreement context. Given the agency's preference for SMEs, companies of this scale are highly suited to compete in such procurement processes, potentially accessing a broader range of governmental contracts through similar frameworks.
