Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency commissioned a UK Ship Routeing Study for English waters, on behalf of the Crown Estate England, covering navigational risk and route development. The work uses Automatic Identification System data and established modelling, including consideration of Scottish and Northern Irish waters in the risk assessment. Outputs comprise a technical report covering methodology, current and future routes, risk calibration, tolerability and ALARP thresholds, risk modelling, mitigation recommendations and gap analysis. The supplier must also run an in-person results workshop and provide Geographic Information System datasets, such as ESRI shapefiles and raster files with metadata. These datasets are intended to support qualitative and quantitative analysis in the Agency’s own software. The service is classified as navigation services and delivery covers the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly, below the threshold and without competition. There was one completed lot, identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. NASH MARITIME LIMITED was awarded the UK Ship Routeing Project on 3 August 2026 for £98,920 excluding VAT, or £118,704 including VAT. The associated contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend by up to six months to 30 September 2027. The extension requires at least 10 working days’ written notice before the expiry date. The contract is active. The procurement used a direct method rather than a competitive tender, and the award covered the full requirement as a single lot.

This award indicates demand for maritime consultancy capable of combining shipping-route analysis, navigational risk assessment and spatial data production. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in Automatic Identification System data, established maritime modelling and the assessment of current and future routes. Relevant capability includes risk calibration, tolerability and ALARP threshold work, risk modelling, mitigation design and gap analysis, supported by the ability to explain methodology and findings to stakeholders in an in-person workshop. Suppliers should also be able to produce usable GIS datasets, including ESRI shapefiles and raster data with complete metadata, in formats compatible with a public authority’s analytical software. The single-lot structure and stated SME suitability indicate that an appropriately capable specialist consultancy, including a small or medium-sized business, could be positioned for comparable work.
