Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is conducting a procurement process for the NAVTEX (NAVigational TELeX) Managed Service, categorised under computer-related services. The award, which has been made to I.C.S Electronics Limited, is aimed at providing a fully managed service that includes NAVTEX software, Digital Selective Calling (DSC), and NAVTEX Cloud for a duration of 12 months, commencing on 1 April 2022. This procurement was executed through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition. The tender process has reached completion, with the contract value set at £158,064, and it is anticipated that a competitive tender will follow later in 2022.

This NAVTEX managed service presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in computer-related services, particularly those that can provide managed services in maritime technology, software, and communication systems. Companies with expertise in software training and system integration may find this an advantageous segment to engage in, especially given that the MCA plans to facilitate a competitive procedure focusing on training requirements in the near future. This is an opportune moment for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) seeking to expand their presence in the public sector by aligning with governmental maritime safety and communication services.

Procurement Information

All operational Coastguards (approximately 350 staff) would require training on new software, which cannot be accommodated at this time. This new contract will replace existing contracts for NAVTEX, DSC and NAVTEX Cloud with a new fully managed service contract, utilising the existing software provided by the incumbent supplier (ICS) for a 12 month period from 1 April 2022. It is MCA's intention to run a competitive procedure in 2022, including training requirements, for the next incarnation of the NAVTEX managed service. This will allow for HM Coastguard to plan to support the necessary training requirements.
