This tender falls under the Radar industry category and is in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 13th October 2023. The procurement process involves managing radar data from existing sites around the UK and integrating data from additional sites over a five-year contract period. The potential length of the contract is up to 5 years, and interested suppliers need to express their interest by 13th October 2023 for participation. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialised in radar technology integration to compete for a contract with the Home Office. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited for this tender opportunity. The procurement process will involve a further competition using the Crown Commercial Service Space Enabled and Geospatial Services RM6235 Dynamic Purchasing System, with potential bidders required to be registered on this system when the shortlisting/tendering process commences, potentially in January 2024. Interested parties should register on the Home Office e-Sourcing Portal and express their interest by the specified deadline to be considered for participation. ## Notice The Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC) delivers accurate and real time Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) for the UK Government maritime security stakeholders. This MSA is facilitated by the Royal Navy Maritime Domain Awareness Programme. To enrich and improve the coastal surveillance data, JMSC seeks to capture coastal radar data provided by existing radar operators such as the Ministry of Defence and the Maritime Coast Guard Agency and include these in the MSA. JMSC is seeking a lead radar data integrator to manage the commercial relationship with radar providers, undertake the engineering effort needed to acquire individual radar tracks, process these, and provide these to the MDA Programme. Data products will need to be analysed and fused to provide a single clean tracks feed. All aspects of security and data compliance will need to be managed. JMSC has a number of radar suppliers already through an existing supplier and this programme will grow the radar coverage around the UK as a fully managed data service. The appointed lead data radar integrator will be expected to manage data from 13 existing radar sites located throughout the UK coastal regions with data from c27 radar heads, and then integrate data from further additional sites through the lifetime of the contract at a rate of c5 - 8 new sites per annum. It should be noted that the appointed lead radar integrator will be required to work with the existing contracted radar site data providers (QinetiQ, Aquilla, Kongsberg and Denbridge Marine Limited) throughout the lifetime of the contract. The potential length of this contract will be up to 5 years in total. The purpose of this market engagement is to assess the interest and capability of the market to meet the requirement and is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a notice is published in Contracts Finder. It should also be noted that this notice invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this market engagement exercise only and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. What to do to express an interest in this opportunity is contained within the Notes section of this notice. Additional information: 1.
