Title of the tender is "Prior Information Notice - DfT Maritime Modelling," falling under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services (CPV: 73000000). This tender aims to gather insights and feedback from suppliers capable of providing data for inland waterways and leisure crafts, as well as developing methodologies for emissions estimates.

## 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.
