## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has initiated the procurement process with the publication of a Prior Information Notice (PIN) for Maritime Modelling. This is under the industry category of Waterways (CPV: 45247120) with additional classifications in data services, research and development, and environmental consultancy. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement end date set for 31 August 2024. The scope includes inland waterways and leisure craft data, and methodologies for emissions estimates. The relevant locales for this process include the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the rest of the world. Interested suppliers are invited to provide feedback to assist in the procurement strategy.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in environmental services, data analytics, and consultancy related to waterways and maritime emissions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. By contributing their expertise and innovative solutions, businesses have the potential to establish strong partnerships with the DfT and enhance their market presence in the public sector. Completing the feedback document provided by the DfT will enable businesses to align their capabilities with procurement requirements, paving the way for future contract opportunities.

## Notice

The Maritime, Aviation and Appraisal Modelling team within the Department for Transport (DfT) is looking to inform the potential procurement of the following; 1. Inland waterways and leisure craft data: identifying and scoping data sources, including identifying gaps and coverage of the data. 2. Methodology to produce emissions estimates: reviewing the previous NAEI methodology and developing options for methodological approaches and assumptions that can be used to produce new emissions estimates for the vessel types in this sector using the identified data sources. We are publishing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) seeking feedback from suppliers to establish the current capabilities, capacities, and appetite of the market in relation to these two workstreams. Suppliers are invited to complete and return the attached document 'DfT Prior Information Notice - Maritime Modelling 1.8.24'. We welcome all feedback.
