Overview

This is notice of a planned procurement opportunity to supply GPS tracking system for small boats for the home office. The buyer requires a tracking capability that enables the location of abandoned vessels to be monitored in near real time, allowing recovery activity to be coordinated efficiently and reducing the likelihood of duplicate responses to previously attended vessels. This notice is issued to enable potential bidders to prepare for, and express an interest in, this work. The solution shall support: • Real time monitoring of abandoned small boats. • Enhanced situational awareness across UK and neighbouring Search and Rescue Regions. • More efficient coordination of vessel recovery operations. • Reduction in repeated tasking of maritime and aviation assets to previously attended vessels. • Improved recovery times for abandoned vessels. • Improved availability of Search and Rescue resources for genuine distress incidents. • Support to intelligence gathering, maritime domain awareness and vessel drift analysis. • Reduction in operational costs arising from unnecessary deployments. • Improved information sharing between Border Security Command, HM Coastguard, RNLI and other approved maritime partners. The buyer is seeking a replacement and enhancement of the existing tracking capability, which has been successfully utilised operationally for the last four years and now requires renewal with current generation technology. The full requirement will be provided at Tender stage, expected to be late November 2026. 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).
