    Brief

    The Department for Transport (DfT) seeks a contractor to collect and manage comprehensive data on seafarers employed in the UK shipping industry. This data will be used to produce official statistics on active UK seafarers at sea, which are essential for government policy decisions and maritime sector promotion. The collected data serves internal DfT policy teams and external stakeholders including maritime unions, industry bodies (such as the UK Chamber of Shipping), academic researchers, and members of the public with maritime interests. The initial contract covers one year of data collection for 2026, with options to extend annually for up to three additional years (2027, 2028, and 2029). Suppliers should have expertise in maritime data collection methodologies, statistical analysis, and stakeholder engagement. The successful contractor will ensure data quality, timeliness, and accessibility for diverse user groups.
