What is being bought

This is notice of a planned procurement opportunity to perform the MCA Load Line docking and equipment inspection on HMC Valiant. The Cutter docking activities will take place early 2027 for a maximum of 3 weeks. This notice is issued to enable potential bidders to prepare for, and express an interest in, this work. The requirement will include dry docking the vessel, inspecting the underwater hull preservation, hull valves, anodes, removal and inspection of the shaft line, rudders and stabilisers. Also including the inspection of internal tanks throughout the Cutter. The full requirement will be provided at Tender stage, expected to be in November 2026. The regional location for this opportunity will be based on operational activity and confirmed when the Tender Opportunity is launched. 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/ Bidders will also need to be registered on the UK Government's Central Digital Platform (Find a Tender Service).

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
Market: CPV division 343,3443 median · 23.5 average (1,276 of 3,344 with a bid count)3.6 average (1,424 of 3,344 with named award suppliers)Not published

“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.
