Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency, located in Southampton, United Kingdom, has recently completed a procurement process titled "Alerting and Tasking SMS overage invoices for March to May 2025". This procurement falls under the services industry category and pertains to telecommunications-infrastructure maintenance services. The contract was awarded to Netcall Systems Limited, a large enterprise based in Bedford. This procurement process followed a direct method due to it being below threshold, thus not requiring competition. The contract was signed on 19 August 2025 and was active from 20 August 2025 to 27 August 2025, with a gross contract value of £25,800. This effort was primarily aimed at managing the exceeded SMS usage allowance by the legacy Alerting and Tasking solution.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications-infrastructure maintenance services, particularly those that can offer competitive and scalable messaging solutions to support large-scale operations. Companies with experience in managing and maintaining alerting and tasking systems, especially in maritime and coastguard contexts, would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar future procurement opportunities. The direct procurement method suggests a streamlined application process, offering an accessible entry point for established suppliers in the telecommunications service industry to engage with central government projects of a similar nature.
