Optimise your procurement process
Coast Guards, Sea Rescue, Navies, Special Forces, Law Enforcement – all agencies using High-Speed boats sometimes need to source new boats. Any procurement process takes resources and demands both competence and experience. Hull designs, new technologies, drivelines, electronic equipment and even operational procedures develop rapidly. A new procurement often means having to start from scratch.

Setting requirements
The first step is defining the purpose of the vessel, its’ tasks, today and in the near future. Next step is to determine the real needs, the required functionality, performance, range, equipment, human factors, in what scenarios and sea states will the platforms operate and so on. What is the expected life cycle and how requirements may change during its’ life-cycle.
This process gives the basis for writing the specifications.
Writing Specifications
Requirements must be translated into well-defined specifications. This is a critical part of the process. Mistakes here may force agencies to invest in boats, NOT FIT FOR TASK, but formally filling the written specifications.
Our experts can quickly and cost effectively translate the agreed requirements into a well-defined list of technical specification of the vessel.
Outlining Tender Documents
Tender documents include much more than just the technical specifications. They have legal status – and implications. Relevant standards and regulations have to be understood and addressed.
Based on our experience and bench-marking, we can help optimising the tender process to make it as fast, as safe and as efficient as possible.
Validating submissions
This part is crucial to ensure a successful purchase. Some proposals may contain unsubstantiated claims, others may propose unproven designs, technologies or equipment.
To assess credibility and the probability of success, it is important to know these fields of technology well. Choices and rejections should be made on evidence based science and proven experience.
