Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has recently completed a procurement process for the emergency purchase of a patrol vessel aimed at enhancing border security for the Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI). This tender falls under the "goods" industry category, specifically targeting police patrol boats, and was classified under the CPV code 34521300. The procurement was initiated due to an urgent need stemming from regional unrest, and the contract was awarded without prior publication, in line with extreme urgency criteria. The bid process was succinct, beginning in early 2024, with the contract signed on 24th September 2024. The patrol vessel was delivered to the TCI, with the award made to Berthon RIB Solutions Limited for a contract value of £217,541.98.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the maritime and security vessel industries, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality emergency response boats on short notice. Companies with expertise in manufacturing patrol boats and quick delivery capabilities would be especially well-suited to compete for such contracts. The urgent nature of the procurement underscores the need for agility and reliability, characteristics that could distinguish suppliers in future tenders involving fast response requirements for governmental and public safety needs.
