## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), located in Southampton, has recently completed a procurement process for the extension of Chief Technical Officer (CTO) services under a selective tendering method. This contract, valued at £11,000, is part of a call-off from a framework agreement and falls under the IT services category, specifically consulting and software development. The contract was awarded to Stance Ltd, with a delivery period commencing on 3rd August 2020 and lasting until 31st December 2020. The procurement process involved the formalisation of work packages to ensure a smooth transition into business as usual, involving metrics for success and agreed delivery dates.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in IT consultancy and software development. As the MCA seeks independent assurance and support in finalising work packages, businesses adept in these areas can benefit not only from this contract but also from building a long-term partnership with a key government agency. Businesses with experience in similar projects and a strong track record in delivering IT services will find themselves well-positioned to compete in future procurement opportunities in this sector.
