Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency bought an IT project management service: a Programme Manager within its IT Delivery function. The requirement is for personnel supply, including temporary staffing, rather than a software product, construction project or wider technology implementation. The buyer is based in Southampton, England. The recorded delivery coverage spans the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, so the requirement has a broad geographical scope. This is a public-sector IT delivery resourcing opportunity, relevant to recruitment businesses, interim staffing providers and consultancies able to supply an experienced IT project or programme manager. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was let through a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Non Clinical Staffing Framework RM6277, using a direct award process. Search Consultancy Limited was selected on 29 July 2026 for £100,800 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 29 January 2027. The tender record gives 30 July 2026 at 11:00 BST as the submission-period end. The procurement category is services, and the stated evaluation basis is the framework call-off and direct-award route rather than a newly competed open tender. This outcome identifies the incumbent supplier and the scale and duration of the requirement for future market analysis.

This award is commercially relevant to suppliers that can provide IT delivery programme management personnel to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency through an established staffing framework route. A credible competitor would need access to suitably experienced IT project or programme managers, the ability to place personnel into a public-sector delivery environment, and the operational capacity to support the full contract requirement across the stated delivery geography. Recruitment agencies, interim management providers and specialist IT staffing businesses are the clearest fit. The buyer’s identification of the opportunity as suitable for SMEs indicates that smaller providers can be relevant where they can meet the framework, direct-award and resourcing requirements. The successful supplier’s role also shows that personnel supply capability, rather than delivery of a standalone technology system, was central to the award.
