## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of a 1500 user Web Security Appliance (WSA) License for Cisco Devices. This procurement falls under the IT services category and has a contract value of £19,155. The contract period commenced on 17 June 2020 and concluded on 16 June 2021, following a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The delivery location for this contract was in the South East of the United Kingdom, with the procurement process being formally initiated prior to the award update logged on 11 November 2021.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in IT services, software development, and Internet support. By participating in similar tenders, these businesses can leverage their expertise to secure contracts that not only bolster their revenue but also enhance their portfolio within the public sector. Companies offering innovative IT solutions, particularly those capable of renewing or providing web security services, would be particularly well-suited to compete for future opportunities within this industry.

## Notice

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) have a requirement to monitor and control Internet access for all Corporate users to protect MCA end user devices. The licenses on the Web Security Appliances used to provide this security service have expired and must be renewed to restore functionality. We believe these licenses to have expired due to the fact when we purchased the hardware, the licenses were included in that price and the term of the licenses wasn't documented.
