This procurement falls under the broader industry category of satellites and specifically aims to address maritime security in the UK. Interested parties should note that the engagement end date is set for 7th July 2022, while the initial notice was published on 23rd June 2022. The tender is intended to enhance the UK's surveillance capabilities within its marine area, particularly focusing on the detection of dark targets. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in satellite technology, surveillance services, and marine survey services. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement is structured to foster competition among small businesses. Companies with expertise in satellite operations, image-processing software, and related fields would be well-suited to respond, potentially gaining contracts that would enhance their market presence and contribute to UK national security efforts. ## Notice The Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC) is the UK government's centre of excellence for maritime security. Its mission is to increase awareness and understanding of maritime security threats and enable cross-government coordination to deliver a whole-system response to mitigate them. Maritime security is a key enabler to Homeland Security, surveillance of the Maritime domain for UK security requires a multi-layered approach. Satellite surveillance products provide longer range coverage but lack persistence, whereas terrestrial sensors such as RADAR provide persistence at shorter ranges. The UK does not have full coastal active surveillance capability and therefore is unable to detect a key target class, dark targets, throughout the UK Marine Area. Within the attachments you will find a briefing document, containing a short list of requirements needed for these services, if eligible you may be invited for a further competition to bid for this requirement, at which stage the full tender documentation will be shared. The Home Office does not guarantee that a procurement will be launched and the Home Office is not responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by any potential supplier in registering their interest.
