## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), a central government public authority located in Southampton, UK, is in the planning stage of procuring services for the "Maritime Digital Platform - Phase 3." This project aims to advance digital capabilities for MCA by developing new portals and maintaining existing IT services related to seafarer certification, vessel surveys, and vessel registration. The procurement is classified under IT services, consulting, software development, Internet, and support, with a total planned value of £2.4 million gross (£2 million net). The contract period is set from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2030, and interested parties should note the future notice date set for 1 April 2027. The procurement process will involve services above the financial threshold using a tender initiation type.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in IT system and support services, especially those familiar with providing comprehensive software support and development. With a gross contract value of £2.4 million, it promises significant financial opportunity. The focus on developing and enhancing digital platforms for maritime operations could particularly benefit IT consultancies and software development firms experienced in government contracts and digital transformation projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the tender is identified to be suitable for such businesses, allowing them to potentially secure a pivotal role in a central government digital enhancement initiative.

## Notice

The Maritime Digital Platform is a set of digital capabilities and technologies that will modernise MCA's customer-facing transactional services and internal business processes for Seafarer Certification, Vessel Survey and Vessel Registration. Phase 3 is set to incorporate the development of new portals (yet to be defined) and the continuation of an IT Managed Service for the existing solution.
