# Request for Information: Maritime Area Regulatory System (MARS)

MARA is seeking market information on the availability, maturity and suitability of technology and delivery approaches for a Maritime Area Regulatory System before launching a competitive dialogue. The official preliminary market consultation page identifies the authority, reference MARA2026-MARSRFI, services procurement type and software/IT CPV codes. It is in proposal-submission status, permits online expressions of interest, and sets a response time of 10 November 2026 at 12:00 without a stated time zone. No estimated value is shown. This is an RFI, not an award or contract notice.
