## Summary

Dorset Police, through the South West Police Procurement Department (SWPPD), has initiated a tender for the design, manufacture, and supply of a Cabined Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB). This procurement falls under the industry category of "Police patrol boats" and has a total estimated value of £250,000, with a minimum value of £200,000. The tender period is open until 16 September 2019, and the contract is expected to commence on 17 September 2019, concluding on 18 September 2019. The procurement method used is an open procedure, allowing for broad participation.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in marine construction and supply, particularly those capable of delivering robust, MCA-coded vessels. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the encouragement of diversity in suppliers. Successful bids will contribute to enhanced maritime capabilities for law enforcement, especially in counter-terrorism and emergency response operations.

## Notice

Dorset Police require a Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) coded commercially constructed Cabined Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) capable of delivering a high profile presence as a fast patrol boat, diving platform, body recovery and search vessel. It will also provide a maritime role in relation to counter terrorism and firearms operations. The RHIB must be of robust design and have a minimum operational life of at least 10 years.
