## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has recently completed a procurement process to establish a Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) Data Centre. The appointed supplier, Kongsberg Norcontrol Limited, is responsible for providing and maintaining the LRIT Data Centre to fulfil the UK’s obligations under the SOLAS Convention. This contract, in the services category, began on 1st July 2026 and is set to last until 30th June 2029, with a potential extension for up to two additional years. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, targeting services in computer-related and computer network services. The primary location for this procurement is in the United Kingdom, and the completed award involves integrating the Data Centre with MCA’s Maritime Domain Awareness Platform.

This procurement presents notable opportunities for businesses specialising in computer-related and network services, particularly those capable of integrating with large-scale data platforms. The contract, valued at approximately £1.7 million, highlights the potential for collaboration with central government authorities, providing a platform for SMEs to secure long-term contracts, demonstrate their technical capabilities, and expand their government client base. Emerging and established businesses with expertise in geographic information systems (GIS) integration stand to benefit significantly from participating in similar tender opportunities.

## Notice
