Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency commissioned business analysis consultancy for its Command and Control Programme (C2P) Accelerated Discovery. The work covers discovery of the current operational, technical and organisational landscape, identifying stakeholder needs and pain points, and helping shape investment-grade options for a future Command and Control capability. It is a consultancy services requirement, classified under CPV 72221000. Delivery may take place across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, based in Southampton. This requirement is aimed at organisations able to combine business analysis with understanding of complex maritime, public-sector and Command and Control environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective further competition and call-off from the Government Commercial Agency’s Management Consultancy Framework Four, Lot 3 for complex and transformation work. The tender submission deadline was 16 July 2026 at 11:00. The contract was awarded to Capgemini UK PLC on 24 August 2026 for £309,200 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 December 2026. The procurement was categorised as a services contract and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with one supplier identified for the Accelerated Discovery requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency for short, intensive discovery and business analysis supporting a major future capability. A credible competitor would need to investigate operational, technical and organisational landscapes, engage stakeholders, identify pain points and turn findings into investment-grade options. Relevant strengths include structured discovery methods, requirements and business analysis, organisational understanding, stakeholder engagement and the ability to connect operational needs with technical and investment decisions. The route to market was a further competition under a complex and transformation consultancy framework, so future credibility would also depend on access to an appropriate framework route and the capacity to deliver a focused assignment for a public-sector maritime organisation.
