Developing National Capacity for Integrated Border Management (IBM) in Lebanon Border Management Equipment

1 Equipment Needs Analysis (ENA) and Equipment Procurement  Priority IBM Lebanon components Carrying out ENA Procurement of operational equipment for use by border management staff  Budget allocated (including training equipment) million euro  ENA carried out May 2013 Site visits to Masnaa and Beirut Port Consultation meetings with the beneficiaries  Agreed lists of priority needs drafted

2 Equipment Needs Analysis (ENA) - Recommendations (Infrastructure)  Secure equipment storage locations needed  Physical border control layout to assist traffic flow and examinations  Power supplies/generation must be ensured  Separation of examinations from normal traffic flow  Weather/time-of day – protection and lighting

3 ENA - Recommendations (Sustainability)  Training of trainers for equipment use (technical and operational)  Maintenance and updates must be ensured  Instruction and guidance manuals/DVD demonstrations made available  Compatibility, familiarity, standardisation, neutrality when choosing equipment  Links with manufacturers and suppliers must be made

4 ENA - Recommendations (Training)  Techniques training must be delivered to ensure operational use  Training of trainers  Training manuals and material to be drafted and supplied  Local training network for LCPs and remote locations  Equipment training embedded in overall training strategy and plan

5 Equipment Needs Analysis (ENA) Additional Considerations  Guidelines for IBM in EC External Cooperation offer additional good practice and recommendations contained in the chapter Infrastructure & Equipment  Shared facilities and joint use and procurement of equipment reduces costs and enhances cooperation between agencies  Joint use of equipment should be explored  Consideration could be given to standardising types and brands with other agencies  Joint procurement of equipment can significantly reduce costs and should be undertaken whenever possible

6 Equipment Recommendations (General Security)  Document examination laboratory  ID document reading/verifying station + software  Portable document examination kit  Portable document checking unit  Digital USB microscope  Fire & security safe  Diesel power generator set

7 Equipment Recommendation (Customs)  Fibrescope/borescope kits  Floodlights and hand lamps  Desktop computers, workstation desks, operator chairs, ups  Telephone answering & recording system with software  Multi-tool knives  Portable document examination and checking kits  Digital USB microscopes

8 Equipment Recommendations (Lebanese Army)  Floodlights, hand lamps and torches  Portable document examination an checking kits  Digital USB microscopes  Handheld Geiger counter & radiation monitor  Traffic cones and steel control barriers  Multi-tool knives

9 Equipment Recommendations (Internal Security Forces)  Handheld contraband detection density meter  Handheld metal detector wand  Standard and low-light binoculars  Digital laser meter  Handheld Geiger counter & radiation monitor  Portable document examination kits  Digital USB microscopes

10 Equipment Procurement Process  May 2013: ENA, technical specifications & budget estimates  June 2013: Contract notices, final technical specifications & tender dossier  August 2013: Preparation of tender documents  October 2013: Clarification /preparation of final contract notices & tender dossier  November 2013: Tender clarifications and tender evaluation documents  January 2014: Tender evaluation, preparing contracts & delivery schedules  February 2014: Notification of tenderers & publication of contract award notices

11 Equipment Procurement Process (continued)  April/May 2013 Checking & tallying of equipment, Confirming origin & compliance with specifications Inspecting installations, affixing visibility stickers  June 2014 Final examinations conducted in relation to delayed deliveries by suppliers Finalization of acceptance certificates Final coordination regarding visibility event Conducting visibility event Formal signature of acceptance certificates
