Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) procured new, in-warranty laptops and other ready-to-issue IT equipment to maintain stock for its business needs. This is a goods requirement, classified under CPV 50312610 for maintenance of information technology equipment. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement concerns supplying equipment that is available for issue when needed, rather than a standalone software, consultancy or construction project. It may suit distributors, resellers and technology suppliers able to provide new laptop equipment with valid warranties and arrange delivery across the MCA’s broad geographical coverage.

This procurement has been awarded. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders due by 12 August 2026 at 15:00. The contract was awarded to MTI Technology Limited on 13 August 2026 for £400,000. The contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2029. The tender’s overall estimated value was also £400,000. The process is complete and the award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement category was goods. The selected supplier is responsible for the requirement under the framework call-off.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates sustained demand from the MCA for stocked, ready-to-issue business laptops and related IT equipment backed by manufacturer or supplier warranties. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to new equipment, strong stock and fulfilment controls, and the capacity to supply standardised devices at organisational scale. Broad delivery capability matters because the requirement spans mainland and island locations, Europe, overseas territories and international destinations. Experience serving public sector or similarly distributed organisations would help demonstrate reliable logistics, asset availability and support arrangements. Framework access and the ability to respond efficiently to call-off requirements would also be commercially important.
