Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), a central government public authority located in Southampton, has awarded a contract for the installation of additional aerial and feeder cable equipment at six Remote Radio Sites in various locations, including Banff, Keswick, Rosneath, Scoval, Stoke Holy Cross, and Windermere. The project, titled "Install Additional Aerial and Feeder Cable Remote Radio Sites," falls under the industry category of telecommunications equipment installation. The tender process, initiated on a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, is complete, with the contract spanning from 9th February 2026 to 9th May 2026. Cellnex, a supplier based in Leamington Spa, has been chosen for this works project, with a contract value of £30,426.73 GBP in gross terms.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the telecommunications and infrastructure sectors to grow by engaging in the expansion and enhancement of radio communication systems. Companies experienced in the installation of telecommunications equipment, particularly those that can offer advanced skills in radio base station installations, are especially well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The straightforward nature of the procurement process, executed without competition, could pave the way for SMEs to establish strong relationships with public authorities like the MCA, thereby expanding their footprint in government contracts.
