## Summary

The Sussex Inshore Fisheries & Conservation Authority is conducting a tender for the replacement of a 5.5m Rib vessel used for marine patrol activities. The procurement process is in the tender stage, with the main procurement category being goods in the marine patrol vessels industry. The procurement is being carried out openly, with a detailed specification available on the Sussex IFCA website. The primary location for delivery is in Shoreham-by-Sea, UK, with the deadline for bids set as March 8, 2024.

This public procurement opportunity offers businesses in the marine industry a chance to compete for supplying a replacement vessel to fulfil essential maritime regulatory tasks. Companies with expertise in building marine patrol vessels and a focus on quality and social value are well-suited to bid for this tender. By meeting the quality and price criteria, businesses can seize the opportunity to contribute to environmental protection efforts as part of the Sussex IFCA's statutory duties and marine conservation objectives.

## Notice

Sussex IFCA intend to proceed with the procurement and build of a 5.5m Rib to act as replacement Daughter vessel to Patrol Vessel Watchful, subject to a tendering process. This daughter vessel will be replacing the current vessel 'Delta One'. The vessel is primarily for conducting boarding operations at sea, an essential regulatory activity.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Delta One, situated on the stern of FPV Watchful, has been in service for 20 years. Unfortunately, despite the considerable care the vessel has received by the marine operations team over its life, parts are now not available, and the vessel is realistically at the end of its working tenure as it cannot be kept operational. A replacement vessel will allow Sussex IFCA to continue to carry out essential enforcement and regulatory tasks, enabling us to maintain our statutory duties under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, and securing our objectives of championing and managing a sustainable marine environment and inshore fisheries within the Sussex district. A detailed specification, invitation to tender and standard selection questionnaire is available at the Sussex IFCA web page, via the link provided.
