## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, through its Boats Team, has issued a tender for the Boats In-Service Support 26 — Lot 3, aimed at ensuring the continued capability of Ministry of Defence (MOD) Police boats. This procurement falls under the Defence services category, with a focus on reconditioning services of boats, based in the United Kingdom. The process is currently in the tender stage, with significant dates including a virtual Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) conference on 15 October 2024. Interested suppliers must submit their offers by 16:00 GMT on 11 November 2024. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2033, with an estimated contract value ranging from £43.5 million to £48.5 million. Key work locations include HMNB Devonport, HMNB Portsmouth, and HMNB Clyde.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies experienced in reconditioning and maintaining defence boats. The scope includes scheduled maintenance, reactive repairs, mid-life upgrades, and on-site support for a variety of MOD Police boats. Given the requirement for various specific services like defect rectification, spare parts supply, and support to safety cases, businesses with robust capabilities in these areas would be well-suited to compete. The use of an e-Tendering system further enables streamlined participation for suppliers. This opportunity is ideal for firms with expertise in naval maintenance, technical services, and logistical support for defence equipment.
