Description

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. Lot 1: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY Further information on the planned procurement of replacement vessels can be found in a PIN issued on 2 April 2024 (notice reference: 2024/S 000-010571, https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010571-2024). Please follow the link to this PIN and then follow the instructions to join the MCRP Industry Day, week commencing 13 May. This will set the context for the programme and future engagement with OEMs. Following the MCRP Industry Day, OEM suppliers will be issued with a RFI questionnaire and will be invited to respond.
