UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office, a central government public authority located in London, has announced a planned procurement process for maintenance works on a Border Force Training Yacht. This contract involves services in the industry category of marine patrol vessels and vessel repair services, with the yacht berthed in Ramsgate, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the tender expected to open for competition in late May 2025. The tender process will be conducted as an open competition below the threshold, and interested parties must ensure registration on the Home Office eSourcing Portal. Key dates include a tender period ending on 6th June 2025, and the work is scheduled to commence on 1st August 2025, running through to 31st August 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the maritime services sector, particularly those specialising in marine vessel maintenance and repair. Companies with expertise in yacht preparation, including cleaning, inspection, and application of hull paint, as well as the provision and installation of zinc anodes, will find this project particularly aligned with their capabilities. The open, below-threshold procurement method allows a wide range of businesses to participate in the competition, making it an excellent opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises looking to expand their portfolio and gain credentials working with central government contracts. Furthermore, the gross contract value of £42,000 suggests a substantial project that could contribute significantly to business growth.
