The Home Office undertook a tender exercise to appoint a supplier of eGates for deployment in the UK and at juxtaposed controls in Europe which are capable of processing passengers using biometric and biographic matching technologies.
The Home Office utilised the Competitive Dialogue Procedure; a multi-stage procurement process that is intended to progressively develop a solution with selected Bidders, discussing with each Bidder their proposed solution, that best met the Authority’s requirements from a technical, commercial, and financial perspective.
Following a full procurement process in line with the issued tender documentation, the Home Office conducted an evaluation of solution responses to identify the most economically advantageous tender.
A contract has now been awarded to a single supplier for an initial term of 60-months, at a value of £54,200,000 (excl. VAT).
