This early engagement exercise, designated as Coupa Event #37, aims to gauge market interest in the manufacture and supply of Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) within the police patrol boats industry category. Interested suppliers must register their interest by 18 March 2021 to participate in the engagement, which is hosted on the Coupa eTendering platform. The initiative is designed to inform future procurement strategies while ensuring potential suppliers are aware of the project's requirements. This procurement opportunity offers significant potential for businesses keen to expand their operations in the public sector, particularly those supplying marine vessels. Specifically, companies that specialise in the manufacture of police patrol boats or have relevant experience in producing similar types of vessels would be well positioned to compete. Engaging with this tender may also provide small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) the chance to establish long-term relationships with the MPS, enhancing their visibility and credibility within the industry. ## Notice The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) would like to inform interested suppliers by issue of this PIN of a potential future tender opportunity for Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBS).
