## Summary

The Home Office, acting through Border Force (BF), has initiated a tender for the Maritime Capabilities Replacement Programme (MCRP) Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Request for Information. This procurement falls under the goods category with a focus on marine equipment. Border Force is conducting a review of its maritime capabilities and looking for OEMs to engage with for the replacement of its current fleet. Interested parties can participate in the RFI process by attending the MCRP Industry Day, with future communication set for 31st May 2025.

This tender presents an opportunity for original equipment manufacturers specialised in marine equipment to engage with Border Force for the potential replacement of vessels.

By participating in this tender, businesses can establish partnerships with Border Force for the provision of essential maritime capabilities.

## Notice

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY The Authority acting through Border Force (BF) is conducting a review of its maritime capabilities with potential for a replacement of the current fleet. The current fleet consists of 5 Cutters and 6 Coastal Patrol Vessels (CPVs). In support of the development of requirements for a future vessel replacement procurement, Border Force is looking to engage with original equipment manufacturers for two categories of equipment, namely integrated mission management systems (IMMS) and power and propulsion systems (PPS). Border Force is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a Request for Information (RFI) to engage with the market. This PIN/RFI is not a call for competition, nor is it expected that an IMMS or a PPS specific procurement will be run at a later date. Interested original equipment manufacturers (OEM) are invited to first attend the MCRP Industry Day. Following the Industry Day, OEMs will be issued with the RFI questionnaire. Please see section II.2.4 for additional detail and how to participate.
