two.2.4) Description of the procurement
HMRC requires a single site services operator ("Supplier") to provide core service 'pillars' of Site Operations; Security Services; Traffic Marshalling Services; Vehicle Inspection Services (including MHE operators); and Hard & Soft FM Services.
Through this opportunity, HMRC is looking to identify a best-in-class Supplier that can bring together all of the above services under a single national provision to serve all future IBF sites. In the first instance, the site will include confirmed sites at Sevington, Holyhead, and Dover White Cliffs, with the potential to expand to additional sites throughout the life of the future contract, including in South-East England (TBC) and West Scotland (TBC). The Supplier will be required to deliver customs checks on both inbound and outbound goods between the UK and the EU on behalf of Her Majesty's Government.
The IBF sites are expected to be operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365(6) days a year.
The three confirmed IBF sites of Sevington, Holyhead and Dover White Cliffs are expected to have approximately 500-600 HGV parking bays collectively and at their maximum capacity will be able to serve a throughput of approximately 10,000 vehicles per day.
This requirement will be procured as a single Lot, covering all IBF sites.
The future contract is expected to be awarded in around August 2022, for commencement of services in November 2022 on a phased site-by-site basis through a rigorous mobilisation plan. The future contract is likely to have an expiry date of 31/12/2025 with the option to extend for two further periods of 12 months.
This Procurement and the resulting contract are being run in accordance with HMRC's Supplier Code of Conduct . Further details on this can be found in the accompanying Project Brief and in HMRC's data room, both of which can be accessed via the details in Section I.3 above.
The future contract will require a Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Plan built into it, specifically tailored to the delivery of the contract, and the appropriate resolution planning in place to ensure continuity of critical public services and their orderly transfer to a new supplier or in-house in the event of supplier insolvency. In addition to extensive financial viability assessment prior to contract award, HMRC will also undertake ongoing financial and compliance monitoring during the life of the contract, at least annually, to ensure the ongoing financial standing of the Supplier.
Further details in respect of the opportunity are contained in the Project Brief, which can be accessed via the details in Section I.3 above and should be carefully reviewed by interested parties.
Please see section VI.3 Additional Information for details of how to request to participate in this Procurement.
