## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service is leading the NIC Procurement (Freight) process, which is classified under research services within the public procurement sector. This initiative is set in locations across British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The procurement method is selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 19 June 2018, followed by a contract commencing on 28 June 2018 and scheduled to conclude on 31 December 2018. The total estimated value of the procurement is £74,002.

Companies that are well-suited to compete may include market research firms, logistics consultants, and those offering analytical or strategic planning services in transport and logistics. Engaging with this contract could significantly bolster the capabilities and visibility of participating firms in the infrastructure sector.
