## Summary

The Dover Harbour Board has awarded a contract for the purchase of 3 modular buildings to facilitate coach processing activities related to the Entry/Exit System (EES) checks at the Western Docks, Port of Dover. The procurement method used was a limited negotiation process without prior publication of a contract notice, due to extreme urgency caused by recent confirmation of the EES implementation by the UK Government. The contract was signed on 8th February 2024, and Dover Harbour Board will not enter into the contract until 19th February 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in providing modular and portable buildings to cater to the infrastructure needs of the Port of Dover. Companies that can deliver within a short timescale of less than 8 months would be suitable to compete for this tender. The nature of this procurement process highlights the importance of agility and responsiveness to meet the urgent infrastructure requirements posed by unforeseen events in the public procurement sector.

## Notice

3no. modular buildings are required to facilitate the coach processing (and mess) activities as part of the new EES checks in the Western Docks, Port of Dover.

3no. modular buildings are required to facilitate the coach processing (and mess) activities as part of the new EES checks in the Western Docks, Port of Dover.

### 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
