Overview
This is an Opportunity Notice for the supply of RHIB seats. The Home Office Border Force intends to conduct a procurement exercise to procure additional seats across its fleet of Delta and MST Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs).
The current Delta RHIBs are fitted with single jockey seats. The department plans to replace these with twin jockey seats to improve operational capability.
Single seats are to be added to the MST RHIBs, with the appropriate mounting adapters and fixtures. We are seeking a capable supplier to: • Supply and deliver tandem/twin jockey seat units with folding rear seat suitable for installation on Delta RHIB platforms. • Supply and deliver single seat units and adaptor systems suitable to allow seats to be securely mounted on MST RHIB platforms. • Deliver the required components to designated sites in the UK. • Provide installation guidance and post-installation support and training course as required.
Eligibility & compliance
Bidders are required to complete the Qualification, Technical and Commercial Envelopes.
Additional details
Key Considerations: • Seating must meet relevant maritime safety and shock mitigation standards. • Suppliers should be able to demonstrate prior experience in maritime seating systems for high- performance RHIBs. • Compatibility with existing vessel layouts is essential. • Deliveries may be phased across the fleet.
