Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed the procurement process titled "THRE0076 Provision of Maritime Labour Market Analysis," classified under Economic research services. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process, now in the award stage, saw an active award published on 17 March 2026, with the contract period set from 3 March 2026 to 2 September 2026. The contract, valued at £149,790, will see services delivered across diverse regions including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom.
