## Summary

The Department for International Trade (DIT) has completed a tender titled "Shipping Database Subscription 2022-23", aimed at acquiring subscription services to access research and the World Fleet Register for the 2022-23 period. This procurement was classified under the CPV code 79980000 and had a contract value of £36,475. The procurement method employed was a direct single tender action due to its value being below the threshold. The contract commenced on 14 March 2022 and will run until 13 March 2023, with the tender's end date being 28 February 2022.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialised in subscription services or maritime research. The DIT's focus on accessing comprehensive shipping data indicates a potential demand for providers capable of offering detailed and analytical research services. While small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not identified as suitable for this opportunity, larger firms with relevant experience in delivering similar research solutions may find this contract an advantageous prospect to expand their client portfolio within the governmental sector.
