Command and Control Programme (C2P)

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Maritime and Coastguard Agency publishes IT Services work continuously — 13 notices, roughly one every 12 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

44% of Maritime and Coastguard Agency’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

Information about C2P: The Command and Control Programme (C2P) is conducting early discovery to understand the operational, technical, safety, and organisational requirements for the next generation of MCA’s mission‑critical command-and-control capability.

The programme aims to improve resilience, interoperability, situational awareness, and support for front-line search and rescue operations.

Our vision is to: “Create a modern, resilient and insight‑led capability that harnesses technology, improves decision‑making, strengthens operational performance, and delivers a better experience for those we serve.” No decisions on scope, architecture, delivery model, or procurement approach have been taken.

Free to start. Named contacts come from published notices; the strategy is generated from the buyer’s news, accounts and people.

Five included while we’re in beta, and the agent asks before it spends on any paid step.
