II.1.4) Short 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.
