Tender description

The Command and Control Programme (C2P) aims to transform HM Coastguard's command and control capability with a modern, secure and fully integrated operational system. Given the scale, complexity and operational criticality of this investment, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency has procured specialist external legal support to provide robust compliance, assurance and risk mitigation across the commercial lifecycle. The programme requires sustained expert legal advice spanning procurement strategy, contracting and commercial terms, data protection, cybersecurity, intellectual property, regulatory compliance and independent legal assurance. This requirement was procured through Further Competition under the Government Commercial Agency framework Legal Panel for Government (RM6360), Lot 1.

About the buyer

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is an executive agency of the Department for Transport, and buys as a central government agency for maritime and coastal search and rescue. Procurement follows the Department for Transport's process, using the Jaggaer portal for tender documents and bids. Smaller opportunities are advertised on Contracts Finder, with larger ones moving to Find a Tender. Crown Commercial Service frameworks are used where they fit the agency's needs. Specialist maritime technical and scientific services are sourced through dedicated frameworks instead. The Procurement Team sits within Commercial and Programmes at the agency's Southampton headquarters.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of Maritime and Coastguard Agency's contract awards have been in business services, IT services and software and information systems.
