two.1.4) Short description

Border Force Maritime Command (BFMC) is the UK's only national maritime law enforcement body. Its fleet of five Cutters play an essential role in delivering the Government's crime reduction and border protection objectives,

two.2.4) Description of the procurement

BFMC is looking for an effective life extension programme which will allow the continued services of the Cutters while mitigating risk and minimising loss of operational availability.

While extending a Cutter’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 is only applicable to some of the Damen 4207-class Cutters.

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.
