Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has concluded a procurement process for the provision of commercial shipping data, categorised under data services. This direct procurement utilised a single tender action method and culminated in an award on 30th April 2024, with the contract subsequently starting on 1st May 2024 and running until 30th June 2026. The transport data is intended to cover UK shipping fleet operations and economic ownership, supporting the ONS's need for reliable and comprehensive transport services information. The buying organisation for this procurement is the Office for National Statistics, headquartered in Newport, Wales, with Clare Jones serving as the contact point.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in data services for the shipping industry, particularly those that can provide comprehensive transport data solutions. Given the suitability criteria indicating interest in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), businesses within these categories are well-placed to engage with similar ONS procurement activities. Furthermore, suppliers like the Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom, the successful awardee, exemplify the calibre of vendors that can thrive in this niche market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Commercial Shipping Data

Notice Description

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has a need for reliable, comprehensive, and easy-to-use information about the transport services provided or received by the UK shipping fleet, including any goods purchased during, or to support, the provision of transport. Data is intended to cover ships that are in UK economic ownership or operated by UK companies and over 100 gross tonnes (GT). The ONS wishes to capture data from as many of these vessels that make up the UK shipping fleet as possible. For the purpose of this requirement, the United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland, but excludes the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Transactions in foreign currency should (as far as possible) be converted to sterling at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of the transaction.
