Publisher note: Border Security Command require a supplier who can provide this as a managed service to meet an aspirational award date of 12/2026. Suppliers will need to register in the first instance on the Authority's eSourcing portal - https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html Following from the Prior Information Notice issued in February 2026 (Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-009804), the Authority would like to engage with suppliers, to determine the level of interest, capacity and capability to meet the requirements. To do this, they would like to invite interested suppliers to an Industry Day event, where the Authority will outline their requirements and provide further information on the procurement process. The Industry Day is scheduled to take place on 2nd April, and will be conducted via Microsoft Teams. The event is expected to last for half a day, however this will be confirmed within the placeholder that will be issued. Please note, that this may be subject to change. This market engagement and any subsequent activity is for information gathering purposes only, and has no impact on selection or the invitation to tender stage. It is important to note that this PIN is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a notice is published. It should also be noted that this PIN invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this market engagement exercise only. It is not a pre-qualification questionnaire and is not part of any pre-qualification or selection process. To express an interest in this market engagement, participants are requested to send an expression of interest to [email protected] by 31st March 2026. The subject title of the email should read Tactical Airborne - Expression of Interest, and the email should confirm your organisation's name, one contact name, one e-mail address and one telephone number. These contact details must be those used to register on the Home Office e-Sourcing Portal on Jaggaer. Following expressions of interest suppliers will be given access to the event on the Authority's eSourcing portal, where they will be issued with a Non-Disclosure Agreement, to be signed and returned to the Authority, via the eSourcing portal. Once received, the Industry Event meeting invite will be issued out to the Supplier. Please note, the contact details provided by interested suppliers at the point of expression of interest will also be used to accept/verify their attendance for this MS Teams webinar engagement event. It may be required to limit supplier attendance to two (2) representatives from each organisation, however this will be confirmed in due course. The content of this PIN, including the nature of works, services and estimated value, may be subject to change. This PIN has been published twice, one under Public Contract Regulations (PCR2015) and one under the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23).
