## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has awarded a contract for the provision of mobile phone boosters in Lot 1. The contract falls under the industry category of Telephone network equipment and has a value of £80,000 GBP. The procurement method used was selective, with the tender period ending on the 5th of December 2022. The contract period is from the 16th of January 2023 to the 31st of March 2023.

This tender by the MCA offers opportunities for businesses providing services in the telecommunications sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find this opportunity particularly suitable. The preferred solution involves utilising existing spare Cat 6 cabling to reduce disruption, making it an attractive prospect for businesses with such capabilities. The contract is already awarded to SOFTCAT PLC, a large-scale supplier based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom.

## Notice

Requirement was let using CCS Framework RM3808 Network Services 2 - Lot 2 Supply, installation & commissioning of a solution that will provision mobile phone services at Dover MRCC and Fareham JRCC where, currently, we have poor and inconsistent service due to topography and very thick brick walls of low lying building. The solution should cover all four existing mobile service providers (Vodafone, EE, Three & O2) using the principle of accessing nearby services utilising MCA's own radio tower. Solution must be in place by end March 2023 and include an optional care package. Preferred solution is to utilise existing spare Cat 6 cabling where possible to reduce any disruption to this busy operational site.
