Description

Border Force Maritime Command (BFMC) is the UK's only national maritime law enforcement body. Its fleet of six Coastal Patrol Vessels play an essential role in delivering the Government's crime reduction and border protection objectives, alongside a range of wider maritime security goals. The current fleet of CPVs is at or nearing the end of their design life. This SLEP activity is applicable for up to six (6) CPVs (see ITT for details).

Total Quantity or Scope

BFMC is looking for an effective life extension programme which will allow the continued services of the CPVs while mitigating risk and minimising loss of operational availability. While extending a CPV's service life by replacing obsolete, unsupportable or maintenance intensive systems, a Ship Life Extension Programme (SLEP) will be used to modernise and improve the operational ability of the vessel and those onboard. This SLEP activity may be applicable to up to six (6) CPVs, depending on operational requirements. Please note the geographical limitation in the Main Site or place of performance. The SLEP activity is required to be performed in a UK shipyard. This reflects the need to minimise programme delivery risk associated with the ability of Border Force Officers (Vessel crew and the Maintenance and Logistics Unit) to oversee the work in the Shipyard and respond to emerging/urgent issues at short notice and without any additional challenge associated with work and travel related logistics. It will also reduce the risk associated with a vessel being required to return rapidly to service in event of a high priority operational tasking.
