Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured marine vessel repair and reconditioning services for HM Cutter Vigilant. The work covered repairs to Triclad material, principally welding repairs to the port and starboard engine-room vent housing ducting. This is a specialist ship-repair requirement involving a marine patrol vessel and structural or fabricated ducting work. The procurement is categorised as services and relates to vessel repair, ship and boat reconditioning, and marine patrol vessels. The requirement is for work on the Home Office’s cutter, rather than a general fleet-wide service or a supply-only contract. Businesses with relevant marine engineering, ship-repair and welding capability would find the subject matter most relevant, particularly those experienced in repairing operational patrol or other specialised vessels.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries closed at 10:00 on 3 August 2026 and submissions closed at 17:00 on 4 August 2026. The estimated value for the single lot was £25,000 gross, while the active contract was signed on 10 August 2026 with MANOR MARINE UK LIMITED for £10,576 gross. The contract period runs from 10 August to 24 August 2026. Evaluation was based on the best commercial response, with a lower price preferred. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract is active and the tender is recorded as complete, so this procurement represents an awarded outcome rather than a current opportunity.

This award demonstrates the Home Office’s demand for focused, short-duration marine repair work on a patrol vessel, with a strong emphasis on commercially competitive pricing. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in ship or boat reconditioning, marine welding and repairs to vessel structures or associated ducting. Experience working safely and accurately on operational or specialised vessels would be relevant, as would the ability to mobilise a suitably skilled workforce for a defined repair package. Suppliers should be able to provide a clear commercial response and demonstrate that their technical approach delivers value against lower-priced alternatives. Larger marine repair businesses are evidenced in this process, but the narrowly defined scope may also suit specialist welding or vessel-maintenance firms with the required marine experience.
