The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase. To engage potential suppliers, the Home Office is hosting a virtual supplier engagement event on 9th May 2025 at 14:00. Interested suppliers are requested to express their interest by 22nd April 2025. The service aims to enhance maritime security by providing scalable, near real-time maritime domain awareness data to the Royal Navy through various technological means. The procurement method involves a further competition under the Crown Commercial Service Space Enabled and Geospatial Services RM6235 Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement covers the UK, including Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories, with a contract value estimated at £69 million over 3 to 5 years. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in maritime surveillance, data services, and intelligence systems to bid for a substantial government contract, fostering business growth. Companies that are well-suited for this opportunity include those with capabilities in Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), radar and Electro Optical/Infra-Red detection, and expertise in providing persistent maritime surveillance. Businesses that can offer innovative and cost-effective solutions while maintaining high levels of system availability and operational responsiveness will have a competitive edge. They must also be registered under the targeted purchasing system and capable of adapting to dynamic maritime security requirements across various UK territories. ## Notice Maritime security is a key enabler to UK, Crown Dependency, and British Overseas Territories Security. The Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC) provides Maritime Domain Awareness data to UK Government stakeholders to support delivery of security and regulatory enforcement activities. The MDA provision is comprised of multiple layers of data from a variety of sources. This procurement exercise seeks to enhance the MDA to better support operational services by procuring the provision of a scalable, mobile, digital outcome that is capable of delivering streamed "Tracks as a Service" (TKaaS) in Near Real-time (NRT). The data stream will be provided to the Royal Navy Maritime Domain Awareness Programme (MDAP) via an Application Planning Interface (API). This will include data from land based and Beyond Visual Line of Sight sources (BVLOS) operating in the 4 nations of the UK, the Crown Dependencies, and BOT, with the flexibility to respond to short notice operational requirements. These tracks should incorporate Automatic Identification System (AIS) detection, radar, and Electro Optical (EO)/Infra-Red (IR) detection - all correlated to enhance non-cooperative vessel detection. A separate portal shall be made available by the supplier to view the camera data and provide an alternative display of tracks and any alerts. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The service is to provide maritime tracks from selected areas to JMSC. Suppliers will be responsible for owning, siting, installing, securing, and operating any hardware in the UK or overseas. The current operational tempo assumes a requirement for 24/7/365 service availability. Suppliers will need to ensure the system is supported with sufficient personnel and process to resolve any issues to ensure system availability (between 99.5 - 99.9%). The Supplier solution must : Respond to JMSC tasking and provide persistent maritime surveillance of an Area of Interest (AOI) within the UK marine area (and UK Overseas/Dependent Territories). Provide active surveillance feeds at a minimum of 24 concurrent AOIs around the UK coast delivering tracks as a service. Provide services that will enable/assist in the detection of both cooperative and non-cooperative-reporting vessels typically within UK Territorial Waters (TTWs). The solution primarily covers the UK, territorial waters, and BOTs when required. Currently 4 BOTs are receiving improved maritime awareness services. This solution will need to respond to any emerging areas of interest both in the UK and BOT. The potential length of this contract will be 3 to 5 years in total (including any extension periods), with an estimated total value of up to cPS69 million if the contract is awarded for 5 years. However, the Authority is seeking to ensure that an increase or decrease in contract capability is available, should the future demand change. A contingency of approximately PS20 million (over 5 years) is built into the estimated contract value but there is no guarantee that this will be needed or used. The content of this PIN, including the nature of works, services and estimated value, may be subject to change. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013491-2025 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Apr 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 6 Apr 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £69,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 35720000 - Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance - 72222300 - Information technology services - 72300000 - Data services ## Release History - 7 Apr 2025 at 15:56 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013491-2025 ## Notice URLs - https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html - https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6235 - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
