Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of Minimum Capacity DFDS" was conducted by The Department for Transport in the United Kingdom, focusing on transport services excluding waste transport. The contract has a total value of £3,770,838 and was awarded on May 11, 2020. The contract period runs from May 11, 2020, to July 12, 2020. The procurement method used was a direct approach, specifically a single tender action due to it being below the threshold, with the tender period concluding on May 10, 2020.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport and logistics sector, particularly those with capabilities in cross-channel ferry services. Companies that specialise in offering transport services, particularly those with experience in handling large volumes or specialised freight, would be well-suited to participate in future tenders of a similar nature. As the government continues to seek efficiencies in transport services, suppliers who can demonstrate reliability and cost-effectiveness may find substantial growth potential in the public sector.
