Planned Procurement of Small Boats GPS Trackers

Description: This is notice of a planned procurement opportunity to supply GPS tracking system for small boats for the home office. The buyer requires a tracking capability that enables the location of abandoned vessels to be monitored in near real time, allowing recovery activity to be coordinated efficiently and reducing the likelihood of duplicate responses to previously attended vessels. This notice is issued to enable potential bidders to prepare for, and express an interest in, this work. The solution shall support: * Real time monitoring of abandoned small boats. * Enhanced situational awareness across UK and neighbouring Search and Rescue Regions. * More efficient coordination of vessel recovery operations. * Reduction in repeated tasking of maritime and aviation assets to previously attended vessels. * Improved recovery times for abandoned (read more...)

Summary: The Home Office plans to procure a GPS tracking system for small boats, replacing and enhancing the capability it has used operationally for the past four years. The system is intended to monitor abandoned vessels in near real time, helping coordinate recovery and avoid repeated tasking of maritime and aviation assets to boats already attended. It should also support situational awareness across UK and neighbouring search and rescue regions, vessel drift analysis and intelligence gathering, and improve information sharing between Border Security Command, HM Coastguard, the RNLI and other approved maritime partners. The wider purpose is to improve recovery and the availability of search and rescue resources for genuine distress incidents, while reducing unnecessary deployments and associated operational costs.
