Planning Information
The Home Office wishes to inform interested suppliers that we will shortly be publishing a Social Value Request for Information (RFI) relating to the upcoming procurement for the maintenance of the Border Security Command fleet of RHIBs and Tactical Watercraft (TWCs). This Social Value RFI is being issued for market engagement purposes only. Its purpose is to provide early visibility of the proposed approach to Social Value within the future Invitation to Tender (ITT), and to invite suppliers and their supply chains to review the material and offer constructive feedback. We are specifically seeking views on the relevance, proportionality, measurability, and deliverability of the Social Value themes, outcomes, and potential KPIs being considered for this multi‑year maritime maintenance contract. Suppliers are encouraged to examine the RFI document and submit comments, observations, or clarification questions as part of this informal pre‑procurement engagement. Insights gathered through this process will help the Authority shape Social Value requirements that are clear, evidence‑based, and appropriate for the scope and operational nature of the RHIB/TWC maintenance programme. Please note that suppliers wishing to participate in the later ITT stage must ensure that they are registered on the Home Office eSourcing Portal (Jaggaer) in advance of the formal competition release: https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/ This RFI does not constitute the release of the ITT, and no formal bids or binding submissions are required at this stage. The full tender documentation—including detailed technical specifications, performance requirements, and the finalised Social Value evaluation methodology—will be issued separately via the standard procurement route.
