## Summary

The Dover Harbour Board has awarded a contract for the fabrication, supply, and installation of a lightweight canopy structure at the Eastern Docks, Port of Dover. This canopy project is part of the Entry/Exit System (EES) implementation to cover 6 lanes of live car traffic. The procurement method used was a Negotiated procedure without prior publication. The urgent need for this infrastructure due to the upcoming EES implementation led to the contract being signed on 8th February 2024.

This tender for the Entry/Exit System (EES) Canopy at the Port of Dover presents opportunities for businesses specializing in canopy structures and port-related activities. The extreme urgency of the project requires swift delivery within less than 8 months. Companies experienced in delivering complex infrastructure projects under tight deadlines would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The Dover Harbour Board, acting as the contracting authority, is overseeing this project to enhance operational efficiency at the port.

## Notice

A free-standing canopy structure is required to cover 6 lanes of live car traffic in the Eastern Docks, Port of Dover to facilitate the new EES checks.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The fabrication, supply and installation of a lightweight canopy structure required to cover 6 lanes of live car traffic in the Eastern Docks, Port of Dover. To be constructed with minimal foundation requirements in a busy congested Port operational area to facilitate the new EES checks and minimise constraints on the vehicles using the structure.

### Procurement Information

The UK Government confirmed in December 2023 that the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) will be live from around October 2024. Infrastructure will be required at the Port of Dover (the "Port") to facilitate implementation of EES. The nature of the infrastructure requirement has only recently been clarified, which limits the timescale for procurement and delivery to less than 8 months. Dover Harbour Board ("DHB") as owner and operator of the Port has undertaken market research and identified routes to infrastructure delivery within the required timescale. However, by the nature of the very recent confirmation of the go-live date and clarification of the requirements by the UK Government against a delivery timescale of less than 8 months, there is now a situation of extreme urgency that could not have been foreseen or controlled by DHB. As such, DHB has no option but to proceed with a procurement without a prior call for competition in reliance on Regulation 50(1)(d). We do not intend to enter into contract until 19th February 2024
