The brief

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is currently managing a Contract for the provision of Bill of Lading (or shipping instructions) data until November 2025.

Bill of Lading data is used by DBT to monitor container trade to and from the UK.

DBT have been receiving Bill of Lading data for exports from the UK (where a container leaves from a UK port) and imports to the UK (where the container lands at a UK port or the container lands at a foreign port but with a final destination of the UK) under contract since 2021.

The data that is provided under the current Contract is in the context of UK to World container trade, and World to UK container trade.

DBT is looking to engage with relevant suppliers in the market.

DBT are seeking a 12 month contract with the option to extend the contract for a period of up to 12 months.

The budget DBT have allocated to this need is £260,000 per year excluding VAT.
