UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office bought annual planned maintenance and safety equipment recertification services for the Border Security Command coastal patrol vessels Hunter and Speedwell. The work covers inspection, testing and certification of safety equipment, together with general vessel maintenance and repair tasks. This is a marine engineering and ship maintenance requirement, including services classified under CPV 50241000, with marine patrol vessels classified under CPV 34511100. Delivery is for the Home Office’s coastal patrol vessel operations in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as a service and was structured as one requirement. It is relevant to shipyards, marine engineering firms, vessel maintenance contractors and safety-equipment inspection or certification specialists able to support operational patrol vessels.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 20 August 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 13 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Berthon Boat Company on 22 September 2026 and signed on the same date. The awarded contract value is £96,851.77 gross. The contract runs from 19 October 2026 to 11 December 2026. There was one lot, valued at £100,000 gross at tender stage, and it was marked suitable for SMEs. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 40% and commercial pricing at 60%, combining bidders’ technical scores and pricing proposals into a final ranking. The contract is active.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement provides a clear indication of the Home Office’s requirements for maintaining and certifying coastal patrol vessels. A credible competitor would need demonstrable marine engineering capability covering planned maintenance, ship repair and the inspection, testing and certification of safety equipment. The work requires the ability to support two operational vessels and coordinate a defined programme of tasks within a concentrated delivery window, while maintaining appropriate quality and safety controls. Firms with shipyard facilities, qualified technical staff, marine safety-equipment competence and experience working on patrol or comparable commercial vessels would be well placed. The scoring also shows that technical quality matters alongside price, so future competitors would need to present a strong, evidence-based technical approach rather than compete on cost alone.
