## Summary

The procurement process, conducted by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focuses on the "Post-EU Exit UK ports capacity & estimated ports of entry of food & drink import" project. This initiative falls under the industry category of research and development services, with a total contract value of £18,700. The contract period commenced on 19th October 2018 and concluded on 15th December 2018. The procurement method used was a single tender action, deemed below the threshold, and the tender was awarded on 10th January 2019. The delivery addresses for the project were extensive, covering areas from the United Kingdom to various overseas territories.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) to engage in research and consultancy services, particularly in the context of post-Brexit trade and logistics. Businesses with expertise in port capacity analysis, freight logistics, or related consultancy services would be particularly well-suited to involve themselves in similar future tenders, potentially leading to growth and expanded service offerings in a changing market landscape.

## Notice

The aim of the project is to develop a better understanding of post-EU Exit UK (sea) ports capacity, in particular in a 'no deal' scenario, and to improve the Defra evidence base on the degree to which UK ports can accommodate displaced freight traffic from the Channel corridor. It is anticipated that this work will be an update of analysis procured by Defra in 2012 and 2015.
