The service consists of the National Maritime Operations Centre (NMOC), in Fareham, Hampshire, supported by nine smaller Coastguard Operations Centres (CGOC), distributed around the UK coastline. This network is able to share workload freely between stations, allowing for workload to be flexed to meet Operational demand, ensuring a resilient and flexible service able to meet the challenges of the Modern Coastguard service. The Coastguard operates in a secure 'Blue Light' wide area network, hosted by paired data centres in the NMOC and at CGOC Aberdeen. All core operational functions undertaken by the Coastguard are hosted in this environment and can be run from any of the CGOCs or the NMOC itself. The NMOC forms the hub of the Coastguards network, hosting an Operations room, the Maritime training capability, one of the Coastguards two data centres and the Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre (ARCC). This contract will be for the provision of the replacement software to support the activities of the two data centres and 136 operational PCs and training PCs across the national network. In addition, there is a requirement for ongoing training and technical support in the use of the software. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/48fb6636-ae00-4428-9616-13c9751676a1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MARITIME & COASTGUARD AGENCY | | Locality | SOUTHAMPTON | | Post town | Southampton | | Postcode | SO15 1EG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ32 Southampton | | Local authority | Southampton | | Electoral ward | Banister & Polygon | | Westminster constituency | Southampton Itchen | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48100000 - Industry specific software package ## Release History - 13 Dec 2018 at 13:14 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/48fb6636-ae00-4428-9616-13c9751676a1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/48fb6636-ae00-4428-9616-13c9751676a1 13th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fb80587a-37fc-460e-bd89-ae4311f4c4cf Tender Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/30410b94-d02c-4dbb-904a-a2c51c140a90 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cf299b5b-46b2-401d-86d5-7ba4cdf8501a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a6d6459f-40a3-489c-ae27-e0f8225d835b - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f8203ec4-34dc-4b8c-b51a-a2f86d5e9003 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
