## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), based in Southampton, England, has completed a procurement process to secure Mobile Phone Airtime and Data services through a direct award under the Mobile Voice and Data Services framework (CCS RM6261). The contract, valued at £77,850, was awarded to Vodafone Limited, commencing on the 28th of October 2024 and concluding on the 27th of October 2026. This tender, tagged under the industry category of IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support, followed a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement targeted a widespread geographical scope covering the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for large telecom companies or those involved in IT services, particularly in mobile communications, to expand their service portfolios and strengthen their presence in providing essential data services to public agencies. The execution of such contracts can pave the way for establishing long-term relationships with government entities, thereby enhancing credibility and opening doors to future public sector projects. As the awarded contract is a direct result of a framework agreement, it highlights the importance of being an approved supplier within government frameworks to access similar opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not specifically targeted in this procurement, indicating that larger companies are better suited to compete in this instance.
