Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office has completed a procurement process entitled "Digital Maritime Security Capabilities," focusing on data management services under the industry category of services. This tender aimed to integrate maritime data sources to develop a coherent Maritime Domain Awareness and Understanding (MDAU) picture, with the procurement process being categorized as limited and executed without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement was concluded through a further competition under the CCS RM1043.8 DOS6 Framework. The contract, valued at £4,000,000, was awarded to Carbon60, a supplier based in Fareham, UK. The procurement was officially signed on 1st July 2025, involving the delivery locations across the UK, with the procurement stage being finalized as complete.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses with expertise in digital security and data management, particularly those capable of handling complex systems integration projects. The contract being awarded to Carbon60, an SME, underscores that other small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with a strong track record in data services and maritime security solutions in the UK might similarly benefit from participating in such tenders. Businesses that place an emphasis on technical quality, social value, and cultural fit, alongside competitive pricing, are well-positioned to compete effectively in future contracts of this nature.
