Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Caris Enterprise Subscription" was conducted by the UK Hydrographic Office, focusing on software support services in the UK. This tender was initiated through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the proprietary nature of the software essential for meeting SOLAS obligations. The contract, valued at €1,165,598, was awarded on 1st January 2022, and it provides annual support and maintenance for Teledyne Caris software used in key production systems, which are vital for the UKHO's operations.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in software support and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in proprietary software solutions. As the competition for this specific service was limited, companies that have access to similar software capabilities or can offer innovative technical solutions may find growth opportunities in engaging with UK Hydrographic Office's operations or similar government contracts that require specialised skills in software maintenance and support for critical systems.
