## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) recently completed a public procurement process for a Pen-test Call Off Contract, focusing on technical support services within the cyber security industry. This contract was structured under the Cyber Security Services 3 framework and utilised a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 9th March 2026 to 8th March 2027, serving a broad geographical scope including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World. The agency, headquartered in Southampton, England, awarded the contract on 5th March 2026 to PRISM INFOSEC LTD, valued at £13,875.

This procurement creates substantial business growth opportunities for companies in IT and cyber security sectors, particularly those specialising in penetration testing services. Enterprises with a focus on delivering technical support services and possessing competencies suited for the scale of the MCA's requirements can find this contract advantageous. As the procurement was completed through a framework agreement, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were particularly well-positioned to compete, offering them a platform to demonstrate their capabilities on an international scale.
