An urgent requirement exists to work with Home Office Border Force (BF) to develop a concept which will enable:

The successful bidder will be required to mobilise resources immediately and deliver a concept within a short time period.

Furthermore, to meet the BF requirements, it should be noted that BF retain the right to withdraw this requirement during any stage of this process.
