This is a direct award. The MCA is currently implementing a new Navtex and DSC solution, which was tendered via an open procedure (notice number 2023/S 000-035282). The implementation has been delayed and the MCA is therefore required to maintain the existing solution with I.C.S Electronics for a further 12 month period. The supplier's solution is embedded in HM Coastguard infrastructure and must be maintained. There is no reasonable alternative at this time. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 48000000, 72222300 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (2) - **Award:** Navtex (NAVigational TELeX) and DSC (Digital Selective Calling) Managed Service (pending) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **I.C.S.
