The procurement involved establishing a single supplier contract to supply Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary with two Rigid (Hulled) Inflatable Boats (RIBS) to operate within the waters surrounding Hampshire and Isle of Wight. Various aspects were considered to ensure the boats could operate in various weather, lighting conditions and have appropriate navigational equipment suitable for the Police Force.

Delivery: South East · South Hampshire
Extensions: Purchase: Both vessels are anticipated to be delivered within 12 months of Contract Award. That said, there is scope to extend the build period by up to 12 months to ensure that the final boat can be built and delivered, although it is hoped that this will not be needed. Both the minimum warranty period and any extended warranty period shall extend beyond the build period.Variant bids: not allowed

Review procedure

As set out in the Public Contracts Directive 2014/24/EU.

Publisher note: Contract value is anticipated to be up to £400,000 for the design, build and delivery of both vessels, including minimum warranty periods. It is hoped that this will also include any extended warranty. Should this not be the case, there is scope to increase the contract value as below. The contract may, subject to a test under Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations, be increased by up to £50,000 (subject to budgetary approval) for non-material changes which have become necessary. For example, unforeseen increase in build costs, supply chain matters which result in a need to redesign the boat and/ or to enable the purchase of an extended warranty offer.
