## Summary

The Department for Transport is seeking access to detailed flight-schedules data. It will use the dataset to monitor aviation capacity and connectivity, support policy-making and contingency planning, and help analysts assess past and future flights and identify potential disruption to air transport. This is a data and research service for suppliers able to provide flight schedule information at a level of detail useful for sector analysis and operational planning. The work is for the Department’s aviation-related monitoring and response needs; no delivery location is stated.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition below the UK procurement threshold. The enquiry deadline was 16 October 2026 at 12:00 noon, and the submission deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period is due to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 September 2027, with provision for two 12-month extensions subject to Department for Transport review and necessary approvals; the stated maximum extent is 30 September 2028. The estimated value is £25,000 excluding VAT (£30,000 including VAT). There is one lot, and the stated award basis is the most advantageous tender. Electronic submission is allowed.

The opportunity suits data providers and research-service suppliers with the ability to supply detailed, relevant flight-schedules data and support analysis of aviation capacity, connectivity and disruption. The dataset needs to serve both retrospective and forward-looking analysis, so suppliers should be equipped to provide information that analysts can use for monitoring, policy development and contingency planning. The Department identifies the lot as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it accessible to a range of supplier sizes and types. The requirement is for a focused data service rather than physical works or goods, and would suit suppliers whose existing aviation data products or research capabilities can address transport-sector analysis needs.

## Notice

The DfT requires access to a detailed dataset on flight schedules to monitor the capacity and connectivity of the aviation sector and respond to any business-critical disruption in air transport. This data will directly feed into the DfT's policy-making and contingency planning and response, being used by analysts to get a retrospective and forward look of flights and be able to identify any potential for disruption.
