Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc), located in London, England, has completed the award stage of a contracting process for the provision of expert advice on dangerous goods. The procurement falls under the safety consultancy services category, with a contract value of £60,000. The procurement method used was direct, through a single tender action below the threshold. The contract was awarded to TRANSREG LTD, a large-scale supplier based in Derbyshire, United Kingdom. This contract, which spans from 27th October 2025 to 26th October 2028, is intended to support the Dangerous Goods Unit's efforts to minimise safety risks and facilitate trade and economic growth.

This award presents significant business growth opportunities, primarily for companies with expertise in safety consultancy services and experience in advising on dangerous goods. Although the procurement was not specifically suited for SMEs or VCSEs, large-scale enterprises with a proven track record in the relevant industry are well-positioned to compete for similar tenders in the future. The scope of work involves international engagement, as it encompasses not only the United Kingdom but also British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and further afield, making it an attractive opportunity for businesses looking to expand their geographical footprint.
