## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has recently completed a procurement process for an "External Secure Storage Solution" aimed at managing its extensive collection of over 400,000 paper files. This service will cover the fiscal year 2021-22 and includes provisions for yearly destruction, retrieval, archiving, and transportation. The total value of the contract, awarded to Restore PLC, is £77,000. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, with the award date noted as 12th February 2021, and the contract period extends until 11th February 2022. The delivery of these services is designated for the South East region of England.

This tender provides significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in records management services. Companies that are capable of offering secure storage solutions, including logistical support for archiving and file destruction, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. The successful delivery of such services could enhance a business’s footprint within the public sector and expand its portfolio in records management.
