Notice Information

Notice Title

Joint Maritime Security Centre Coastal Radar Data Integration

Notice Description

The Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC) delivers accurate and real time Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) for the UK Government maritime security stakeholders. This MSA is facilitated by the Royal Navy Maritime Domain Awareness Programme. To enrich and improve the coastal surveillance data, JMSC seeks to capture coastal radar data provided by existing radar operators such as the Ministry of Defence and the Maritime Coast Guard Agency and include these in the MSA. JMSC is seeking a lead radar data integrator to manage the commercial relationship with radar providers, undertake the engineering effort needed to acquire individual radar tracks, process these, and provide these to the MDA Programme. Data products will need to be analysed and fused to provide a single clean tracks feed. All aspects of security and data compliance will need to be managed. JMSC has a number of radar suppliers already through an existing supplier and this programme will grow the radar coverage around the UK as a fully managed data service. The appointed lead data radar integrator will be expected to manage data from 13 existing radar sites located throughout the UK coastal regions with data from c27 radar heads, and then integrate data from further additional sites through the lifetime of the contract at a rate of c5 - 8 new sites per annum. It should be noted that the appointed lead radar integrator will be required to work with the existing contracted radar site data providers (QinetiQ, Aquilla, Kongsberg and Denbridge Marine Limited) throughout the lifetime of the contract. The potential length of this contract will be up to 5 years in total. The purpose of this market engagement is to assess the interest and capability of the market to meet the requirement and is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a notice is published in Contracts Finder. It should also be noted that this notice invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this market engagement exercise only and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. What to do to express an interest in this opportunity is contained within the Notes section of this notice. Additional information: 1. To express an interest, participants must first be registered on the Home Office e-Sourcing Portal. If you have not yet registered, this can be done online at https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html by following the 'Register Here' link . Please note that, to register, you must have a valid DUNS number (as provided by Dun and Bradstreet) for the organisation which you are registering and who will be entering into a contract if invited to do so. 2. Once registered on the Home Office e-Sourcing Portal, potential suppliers, who believe they are able to offer the required services, are requested to send an expression of interest to Daren Mills, Home Office Commercial at daren.mills1@homeoffice.gov.uk by 13th October 2023. The subject title of the email should read Coastal Radar Data Integration - Expression of Interest, and the email should confirm your organisation's name, Jaggaer registration number, one contact name, one e-mail address and one telephone number. These contact details must be those used to register on the Home Office e-Sourcing Portal. Once the above two steps are completed, invitations will be made available via the portal, subject to parties signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). The current expected date for the Virtual Engagement Event/Industry Day is 18th October 2023. The Authority has determined that the likely procurement route will be via a further competition using the Crown Commercial Service Space Enabled and Geospatial Services RM6235 Dynamic Purchasing System https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6235, so any potential bidders will need to be registered on this Dynamic Purchasing System when the Authority commences their shortlisting/tendering process, potentially in Jan 2024.
