What the notice says

Maritime security is a key enabler to UK, Crown Dependency, and British Overseas Territories Security. Border Security Command (BSC) is seeking to procure a maritime situational awareness system that meets the requirements of the Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC) and the Border Security Command Maritime - Channel Operations team. The maritime environment is important both internationally and domestically, impacting the resilience of the UK and our global influence. It is a critical sector for prosperity and security. To deliver maritime security, the UK needs full persistent surveillance capability with the ability to detect non-cooperative-reporting vessels throughout the UK Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), including British Overseas Territories (BOT).
