Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office is conducting a procurement process for the title "Border Force, Charter of Vessel," aimed at securing a vessel for personnel transfer in the context of migrant operations from Ramsgate, UK. This tender falls within the "Ships and boats" category and has reached the award stage, with the contract period commencing on 4 January 2022 and concluding on 4 April 2022. The procurement method employed is selective, with the opportunity arising from a call-off from a framework agreement. Notably, the contracting authority has a three-month firm requirement, with options for additional extensions at the discretion of the charterers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the marine and transportation sectors, particularly those capable of facilitating personnel transfer and handling sensitive operations. Businesses that specialise in chartering vessels, including those equipped to operate both day-time and potentially night-time operations, would be well-positioned to participate. The award, valued at £234,000, may also encourage innovative solutions for managing migrant transport logistics along the UK coast.
