Why no open competition
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification

All operational Coastguards (approximately 350 staff) would require training on new software, which cannot be accommodated at this time. This new contract will replace existing contracts for NAVTEX, DSC and NAVTEX Cloud with a new fully managed service contract, utilising the existing software provided by the incumbent supplier (ICS) for a 12 month period from 1 April 2022. It is MCA’s intention to run a competitive procedure in 2022, including training requirements, for the next incarnation of the NAVTEX managed service. This will allow for HM Coastguard to plan to support the necessary training requirements.
