## Summary

The Department for Transport, identified as a public authority within the central government, concluded an award process for the procurement titled "TMAR3146 - MAIB Navigational Risk Assessment." This procurement pertains to the services industry, focusing on research services particularly in the navigational risk assessment within a defined area of the North Sea. The procurement process, completed under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54, was conducted directly without competition due to its below threshold status. The contracting process was finalised on 9th October 2025, with a contract period extending until 30th September 2026.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in maritime research services, particularly those capable of conducting navigational risk assessments. The contract was awarded to NASH Maritime, a large-scale supplier based in Stockport, illustrating the demand for specialised expertise in maritime navigation safety analysis. Businesses with capabilities in similar maritime services could benefit from aligning their offerings with governmental needs for safety assessments, thereby growing their presence in the public sector and contributing to national maritime safety objectives. Such contracts also enable companies to establish themselves as key players in providing critical research services to government entities.

## Notice

The MAIB conducted market analysis for the assessment of the navigational risk assessment for a defined area of the North Sea region including the location of the collision between the Portugal registered containership Solong and the USA registered oil/chemical tanker Stena Immaculate on 10 March 2025. The research concluded that one supplier could provide the service. The scope of this project is to identify the navigational risk at the accident location and proximate sea areas.
