Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT)

This procurement seeks to find a provider capable of providing and maintaining an LRIT Data Centre on behalf of the MCA to ensure the UK fulfils its obligations under the SOLAS Convention.

The Data Centre must meet all the relevant performance standards, be ready from the 1st of July 2026 to receive position data from UK flagged vessels, and be able to migrate legacy position data from the previous Data Centre, if required. The data from the Data Centre must be able to integrate with the MCA's Maritime Domain Awareness Platform as a GIS layer.
