## Summary

The Broads Authority is currently conducting a tender for the design and build of a small motorised work boat/barge, aimed at facilitating various transport needs with a load capacity of 20 tonnes. This procurement falls under the specialised boats category within the goods industry and is taking place in the East of England. The tender period will close on 15 April 2022, with contract execution expected to commence on 6 May 2022 and run until 1 September 2022. The estimated contract value ranges from £45,000 to £60,000, with the procurement method being an open procedure, suitable for interested parties.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in the design and construction of vessels, particularly those with the capacity to deliver projects under a public contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) well-versed in boat building or bespoke engineering services would be particularly well-suited to compete. The contract's focus on specific operational requirements in marine environments may also attract firms proficient in custom fabrications and compliance with maritime regulations.

## Notice

The Authority is tendering for the design and construction of a flat bottomed, motorised barge with a 20 tonnes (metric) load capacity. Loads are likely to include a 3,000 litre bunded fuel tank and a small welfare unit, but also capable of moving bulk materials such as aggregate or timber. The vessel will be required to operate in MCA Category A and B waters.
