UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office is initiating a planned procurement process for the "TWO CPV - Planned Maintenance and Safety Equipment Recertification" project, targeting the maintenance and safety equipment recertification for the Border Force Coastal Patrol Vessels Hunter and Speedwell. This opportunity falls under the services category and pertains to marine patrol vessels and ship maintenance, with a budget of £100,000. The project is in the planning stage, and the tender is expected to release in late July 2026, with related work scheduled between 19th October and 10th December 2026. Interested bidders must be registered on the Home Office's eSourcing Portal and the UK Government's Central Digital Platform. Enquiries about the tender can be made until 13th August 2026, and submissions are due by 20th August 2026. The location and other operational details will be confirmed with the launch of the tender opportunity.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in services for marine vessels, particularly those skilled in maintenance tasks, safety equipment certification, and rectifying defects. The procurement method is an open competition, which suggests that companies of various sizes, particularly those experienced in ship repair and maintenance, could significantly benefit from participating. The evaluation will combine technical quality scores (40%) with pricing proposals (60%) to rank bidders, offering a level playing field for well-qualified enterprises seeking to expand their portfolio with government contracts.
