Opportunity overview

The Authority, Border Force (BF) are looking to enagage with the X-Ray market to understand what current solutions are available. Non X-ray technology or Passive Imaging equipment is considered out of scope of this market engagement exercise One of the Authority's strategic objectives is to significantly increase the proportion of arriving freight subject to non-intrusive inspections, thereby enabling the identification and interception of currently undetected harms, while maintaining smooth flow rates for legitimate trade at UK ports. BF estimate that the initial scope of this project would be for the procurement of two screening systems to be deployed at a singular UK Port. This is solely a market engagement activity at this point and the Authority makes no commitment to running a procurement exercise for solutions/capabiliites identified through this activity after the engagement end date. Required Supplier input is covered further within this document under Engagement.
