Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency commissioned a NAVTEX Project Manager to support its IT Delivery function. This is a professional personnel supply service for a technology project manager, rather than a works or goods contract. The requirement is associated with NAVTEX, although the available description does not set out the project's technical scope. The buyer is based in Southampton, England. 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 service is classified under CPV 79620000, covering the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Non Clinical Staffing Framework RM6277, using a direct award route. The award was made to Keystream Group Limited on 21 July 2026 for £51,200, inclusive of the stated contract value, rather than through a multi-lot competition. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 6 November 2026. The tender had a submission deadline of 21 July 2026 at 11:00. The selected supplier is the sole named awardee. The published process identifies the requirement as services and records the procurement as complete; it does not set out a separate quality, price or other scored evaluation basis.

This award indicates demand from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency for specialist technology project management within an IT delivery environment, procured as temporary personnel through a public-sector staffing framework. A credible future competitor would need to provide an experienced project manager who can operate effectively in an agency setting and lead or coordinate technology delivery work connected with NAVTEX or comparable maritime information systems. Suppliers should be able to meet framework call-off requirements, provide suitable personnel promptly and demonstrate dependable delivery across the broad geographic coverage attached to the requirement. The procurement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so smaller staffing, technology recruitment and project-management businesses with relevant public-sector or maritime delivery experience may be well placed.
