UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dover Harbour Board is procuring a works package for the Port of Dover’s outbound-control reordering. The requirement is a modular building for use by border agencies, covering its design, manufacture, installation, testing and commissioning. The building is associated with transport infrastructure and involves the assembly and erection of prefabricated structures. The work will be delivered at the Port of Dover in Dover. This opportunity is therefore relevant to contractors and specialist building firms able to provide a complete modular-building solution, rather than only supplying materials or carrying out isolated installation work. It may also suit businesses working on port, border-control, transport or other operational infrastructure where prefabricated buildings must be installed and brought into service.

The process has reached tender: Dover Harbour Board invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 14 September 2026 at 5:00pm. Electronic submission was allowed through the buyer’s tendering system. The contract period for the single lot was set from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. Offers will be assessed using a weighted quality and commercial evaluation, so both the proposed solution and its price will contribute to the result. The published overall tender value is £0 gross, and the lot value is recorded as AED 0 gross. The procurement is below the relevant threshold. The requirement is presented as one lot, covering the full modular-building works package rather than separate competitions for design, manufacture, installation or commissioning.

This opportunity suits modular and prefabricated building contractors that can take responsibility for the full delivery chain: design, manufacture, site installation, testing and commissioning. Businesses with an established ability to assemble and erect transport-related buildings should find the scope particularly relevant. The work also favours suppliers able to coordinate several technical and construction activities as one integrated package, and to deliver a completed building for operational use by border agencies. Relevant experience in ports, border facilities, transport infrastructure or other controlled operational environments would help a supplier demonstrate fit with the requirement, although the published opportunity does not identify a specific accreditation or certification. Specialist manufacturers may be well placed to compete where they can also provide installation and commissioning services, directly or through suitable delivery partners.
