## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has recently completed a procurement process for the service support of the Short Course Database (SCDB), initially developed by Professional Data Management Services Ltd (PDMS). The tender, awarded on 23 August 2021, involved a contract valued at £50,974, and was classified under IT services, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The contract is set to commence on 24 September 2021 and will run until 23 September 2022. The procurement method used was selective, based on a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract was delivered in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in software development and system support. Businesses that can offer similar service maintenance and support solutions aligned with the MCA's requirements are well-positioned to compete. With the growing demand for efficient data management systems, firms that can demonstrate innovative approaches and strong support frameworks will have a competitive advantage in future tenders of this nature.
