Notice Information

Notice Title

Satellite Surveillance - Managed Service

Notice Description

The Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC) is the UK government's centre of excellence for maritime security. Its mission is to increase awareness and understanding of maritime security threats and enable cross-government coordination to deliver a whole-system response to mitigate them. Maritime security is a key enabler to Homeland Security, surveillance of the Maritime domain for UK security requires a multi-layered approach. Satellite surveillance products provide longer range coverage but lack persistence, whereas terrestrial sensors such as RADAR provide persistence at shorter ranges. The UK does not have full coastal active surveillance capability and therefore is unable to detect a key target class, dark targets, throughout the UK Marine Area. Within the attachments you will find a briefing document, containing a short list of requirements needed for these services, if eligible you may be invited for a further competition to bid for this requirement, at which stage the full tender documentation will be shared. The Home Office does not guarantee that a procurement will be launched and the Home Office is not responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by any potential supplier in registering their interest. Additional information: As per the information in description, please contact cory.bateman@homeoffice.gov.uk and/or Ian.gardner3@homeoffice.gov.uk, for any further information and/or questions, please also return any briefing documents to the email addresses provided. PLEASE NOTE: The submission date for a response has been moved to 07 July 2022.
