Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency procured an extension of its IT Programme Manager role. This is programme-management work focused on continuing the agency’s IT programme management capability. The stated delivery locations span the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, based in Southampton. The procurement is categorised as works in the supplied data, although the described requirement is for an IT programme manager.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Keystream Group Limited. The award was made on 29 August 2026, with an awarded value of £93,750. The contract period runs from 31 October 2026 to 23 April 2027. The agency used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender’s estimated value was also £93,750. The submission deadline was 1 September 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the supplied procurement information.

This award demonstrates demand from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency for continued IT programme management support, with delivery locations potentially spanning the UK and international territories. Keystream Group Limited, recorded as an SME, was selected through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need a credible route onto an appropriate framework as well as evidence of relevant IT programme management capability. The requirement is for an extension to an established programme-manager role, making experience maintaining continuity and managing an ongoing IT programme relevant to future competition. The award provides a concrete example of the scale and duration of this buyer’s requirement; competitors should be prepared to provide focused programme management capacity over a defined, relatively short contract period.
