## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) initiated a tender on 5th May 2020 for the project titled "Conduct an initial audit appraisal of the data centre infrastructure in Aberdeen and Fareham." This procurement falls under the IT services category, specifically consulting and software development, with a total estimated value of £103,200. The contract period lasted from 5th May 2020 until 4th October 2020. The procurement was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, and the project was led from the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their footprint within the IT services sector. Businesses specialising in data centre services, IT consulting, or software development could be particularly well-suited to engage with future contracts similar to this one, especially those that can demonstrate robust capabilities in auditing and infrastructure assessments. Enhanced understanding of the current capabilities in data centre management could position prospective bidders favourably for related projects as the MCA seeks to refresh its platforms.
