## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded the contract for the Maritime Security Advancements project, which aims to enhance maritime security through a comprehensive review of current practices to mitigate terrorist threats on vessels. This contract, valued at GBP 711,990, falls under the transport services category and is set to run from 4th January 2022 to 31st March 2022. The tender period concluded on 22nd November 2021, and the procurement was executed via a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award decision was published on 26th January 2022, focusing on improving national security in the transport sector across the UK, with the project being located in London.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the transport security arena, particularly those engaged in areas related to maritime safety and national security solutions. Companies specialising in risk assessment, security consultancy, and innovative security technology are well-positioned to participate in similar future procurements by the DfT, given their expertise will be critical in supporting the government's initiatives to bolster the resilience of the UK’s transport networks against potential threats.

## Notice

The DfT works with its agencies and partners to support the transport network that helps the UK's businesses and gets people and goods travelling around the country. The DfT plans and invests in transport infrastructure. Transport Security, Resilience and Response (TSRR) within DfT, leads on national security matters, ranging from counter terrorism and cyber security to planning for and responding to natural hazards or civil contingencies. We deliver expertise to support security and resilience policy teams whilst also providing the department's 24/7 response for all security or civil contingency incidents. The team works with security and intelligence partners from across government to mitigate risk to the UK's transport sector. The Maritime Security Advancements (MSA) project will focus on delivering major improvements to maritime security through a whole system review of the approach to reducing terrorist threats on vessels. The project will be delivered through phased tasks over multiple years.
