The Department for Transport, a central government public authority in the UK, has completed the procurement process titled "AWARD - Maritime Investment Pitch Event" as part of its activities for the London International Shipping Week. The procurement method used was direct, below-threshold without competition, and it involved the award of a contract to Young Professionals in Shipping Network (HK) Ltd. The contract commenced on the 13th of October 2025 and is set to conclude on the 31st of October 2025, with a total gross value of £18,000.

While the current contract was awarded through a direct procurement process, similar future opportunities might arise, providing openings for competitive bidding.
