What is being bought

Border Security Command Maritime (BSCM) operates a fleet of eleven sea going patrol craft operating in both UK National and International waters. This consists of five Cutters and six Coastal Patrol Vessels. Supported by a fleet of nine Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) and eight Tactical Watercraft (TWC). The fleet of Cutters and CPVs are in full operational use across the whole of the United Kingdom and as such require up to date navigational charts and publications to ensure safe navigation and compliance with SOLAS and their relevant regulating bodies. We are seeking information on the provision of replacement ECDIS and Gyro compass units to four (4) Cutters and up to six (6) Coastal Patrol Vessels (CPV). It is likely that the Statement of Requirements (SOR) will include works spread across the following key areas. They are: A. ECDIS units B. Gyro Compasses C. Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) D. Connection to vessels Emergency Power supply E. Bridge computer for ENP and T&P The full requirement will be provided at Tender stage.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Marine patrol vessels (34511100); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

The purpose of this market engagement is to gather supplier insight and feedback through a structured questionnaire. This will help inform the development of the procurement strategy and Statement of Requirements. The objectives of the Questionnaire are: 1) To determine the extent to which our high-level requirements are feasible and identify potential technical or commercial challenges. 2) To determine the benefits and drawbacks of different solutions to the project requirements, particularly innovative and novel solutions. 3) Determine the appetite of the market in this area to supply and install suitably compliant ECDIS and Gyro compasses that can be integrated into the current bridge suite and radars across the fleet. As part of our market engagement to understand available solutions and supplier capabilities, we ask potential suppliers to complete the Supplier Engagement Survey - PQQ_780 - 'ECDIS upgrade for Border Security Patrol Vessels' which is available on Jaggaer. Please note, the tender opportunity will be issued via the Home Office eSourcing Portal and bidders must therefore ensure they have registered: https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/engagement24 Apr 2026scheduled
