UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dover Harbour Board is procuring works for the Port of Dover’s outbound-control reordering. The requirement covers the design, manufacture, installation, testing and commissioning of prefabricated border kiosks for use by border agencies. The completed facilities will be associated with transport infrastructure and prefabricated-structure assembly and erection. Delivery is in Dover, United Kingdom, at the Port of Dover. The buyer is Dover Harbour Board, a private utility responsible for the port. This opportunity is therefore aimed at contractors able to provide an integrated construction and installation package, rather than suppliers of standard equipment alone. The scope combines off-site manufacture with on-site works, systems testing and commissioning in an operational port and border-control setting.

The process reached tender: Dover Harbour Board invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids could be submitted electronically through the Port of Dover’s In-Tend portal. The buyer set the submission deadline at 9 September 2026, 23:59 UK time. The contract period is scheduled from 12 October 2026 to 31 January 2028. There is one lot, covering the full works package. The published estimated procurement value is £0 gross, while the lot value is stated as AED 0 gross; these figures should be checked against the tender documents before pricing. Offers are evaluated on a weighted combined quality and commercial submission. The procurement is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits construction and specialist prefabrication contractors that can take responsibility for the complete delivery chain: design development, fabrication, transport, installation, testing and commissioning. Relevant businesses are likely to have experience assembling prefabricated structures and delivering buildings or facilities connected with transport operations. Capability to coordinate several workstreams, manage interfaces with border agencies and work safely within a live port environment will be important to competing effectively. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate suitable design, manufacturing and site-installation resources, together with the capacity to deliver repeated kiosk units to a consistent standard. The requirement may also suit a main contractor with established specialist subcontractors for fabrication, mechanical or electrical installation, testing and commissioning, provided the bidder can manage the integrated package.
