BSC Cutter Fleet Maintenance (1-Year)

2026-11-03

Border Security Command operates a fleet of eleven sea going patrol craft operating in both UK National and International waters. This consists of five Cutters and six Coastal Patrol Vessels. Supported by a fleet of nine Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBS) and eight Tactical Watercraft (TWC). The RHIBS and TWCS are either carried on the cutters or trailer mounted for independent deployment. The Damen 4207 Cutters were built in accordance with Lloyds 100A+ and hold valid MCA International Load Line certification. Lloyds Register rules and regulations set the standards for design, construction and lifetime maintenance of the cutters, offshore units and land-based installations. The cutter fleet operate within UK territorial waters, including Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands. The Cutters are in full operational use across the whole of the United Kingdom and as such require regular planned maintenance and docking periods including re-certification throughout the year, modifications, upgrades and unplanned defect / damage repairs. This work may take place across the whole of the United Kingdom. The Authority notes that the requirement is within the scope of consideration under PPN 025. An assessment of the applicability and implications of PPN 025 is currently ongoing, and the Authority will take the outcome of that assessment into account as part of this procurement process. Please note, 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/
