Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics, based in Newport, Wales, has completed the procurement process titled "Provision of UK Shipping Data" under the CPV classification for data services. This tender, initiated through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, was concluded with the contract award to Veson Nautical LLC on 1st June 2026. The contract spans from 8th June 2026 to 7th June 2028, with a final value of £396,000. While the tender was primarily intended for service provision in the data industry, the focus on UK shipping data suggests a significant opportunity in the transport and logistics domains around Newport, indicated by the postal code NP10 8XG.

This tender represents promising growth avenues for businesses specialising in data services, particularly those with interests in shipping logistics, data analytics, and transportation sectors. The procurement was well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations with social, environmental, or community-focused impacts (VCSEs), providing them with opportunities to secure significant government contracts. With a sizable budget and a competitive selective procurement process, businesses looking to expand their service offerings in public sector contracts could find value in such tenders. The involvement of a large-scale supplier such as Veson Nautical LLC further underscores the potential for firms to partner with expansive logistical and data-centric projects.
