Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured coastal sensor equipment together with engineering support for installing the newly purchased equipment. The work covers installation at coastal locations or onboard a Government vessel, with delivery and activity potentially taking place across the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. The procurement is primarily for engineering services, with the equipment supply forming part of the requirement. It may suit businesses that can combine specialist sensor equipment with practical installation and engineering support. The requirement is relevant to suppliers able to work in coastal environments and aboard Government vessels, and to organise delivery and field support across a wide geographic area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to BOXXE LIMITED on 23 June 2026. The award value is £5,000,000 GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2029. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender submission deadline was 21 April 2026 at 16:00. It was classified as engineering services and identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. One requirement covered the equipment and associated engineering support, with no lots reported. The evaluation basis and detailed eligibility requirements are set out in the procurement documentation.

This award is evidence that the Home Office purchases integrated coastal sensing capability rather than equipment alone. A credible future competitor would need to supply suitable sensor equipment and provide the engineering expertise to install, configure and support it at coastal sites or on Government vessels. The geographic coverage indicates that suppliers should be able to coordinate work across the UK and the Crown Dependencies and maintain field-support capacity in varied locations. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist smaller business may be well placed to compete, either independently or through a delivery partnership. Relevant experience in marine, coastal or vessel-based installation would help demonstrate practical capability, although the published requirement does not state specific accreditations.
