## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has completed the procurement process for the "DROITS Beta" project, which involves replacing a legacy database and transitioning towards a fully digital service. This initiative is classified under IT services (CPV code 72000000) and had a total contract value of £500,000. The procurement method involved a selective process through a call-off from the Digital Outcomes & Specialists 4 framework. The contract period commenced on 23 December 2020 and concluded on 31 March 2022, with the tender phase closing on 15 December 2020.

This tender presents valuable growth opportunities for technology firms, particularly those specialising in IT services such as software development and digital transformation. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver innovative solutions for government agencies and improve user experiences would be particularly well-suited to compete. With the emphasis on digitisation and modernisation, businesses with expertise in digital integration and compliance with statutory requirements under maritime regulations may find significant prospects in future projects of the MCA and similar agencies.

## Notice

Replacement of the legacy DROITS database and paper-based reporting process aligns with the MCA's aim to be digital by default. This work will ensure the sustainability of the service and ensure that the Receiver of Wreck can continue to meet their statutory requirements under part IX of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995. Replacement and digitisation of the existing process will provide a better user experience for internal and external users of the service. This opportunity was run as a further competition under Digital Outcomes & Specialists 4.
