Summary of the contracting process

Dover Harbour Board is procuring an IT infrastructure framework for works supporting its harbour operations. The requirement is divided into four specialist areas: data cabling and infrastructure; CCTV infrastructure; radio infrastructure; and access-control infrastructure. Data cabling covers fibre optic, CAT6a and signalling cabling, including supply, installation, repairs, testing and maintenance. CCTV covers cabling and associated hardware, including interfaces with FLIR/DVTEL IP CCTV, automatic number plate recognition and standalone digital systems. Radio infrastructure covers trunked radio, radar, navigational equipment and meteorological sensors, including installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair. Access control covers low-voltage cabling, readers, door-release devices, emergency break-glass units and associated interfaces. Delivery is associated with Dover Harbour Board’s operations in the Dover area.

The process has reached tender: Dover Harbour Board invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure, with a participation stage followed by a final tender stage. Expressions of interest were due by 25 September 2026 at 23:59, and the award decision was due by 25 November 2026 at 23:59. The framework is planned to run from 1 January 2027 to 1 January 2030. It has four lots, each with a published value of £0: data cabling, CCTV, radio and access control. Each lot is evaluated on 40% quality and 60% commercial criteria. The framework can award contracts with or without reopening competition. A successful supplier must pay a fee equal to 46% of the award value.

This opportunity suits specialist electrical, telecommunications, security and marine-technology contractors able to deliver installation and lifecycle support. Relevant capability includes fibre optic, CAT6a and signalling cabling; CCTV cabling, hardware integration, configuration, testing and commissioning; and access-control readers, locks, door-release equipment and low-voltage control systems. Radio specialists should be able to work on trunked radio systems, including Motorola equipment, radar, waveguides, vessel-mounted navigational aids and meteorological sensors, with associated cabling and interfaces. The framework also requires maintenance, repair, testing and commissioning, so suppliers need suitable field-service capacity and practical experience across operational infrastructure. The data cabling, CCTV and radio lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises; the access-control lot is not marked as SME-suitable.
