Maritime Security Advancements Contract Award Notice

The DfT works with its agencies and partners to support the transport network that helps the UK's businesses and gets people and goods travelling around the country. The DfT plans and invests in transport infrastructure.

Transport Security, Resilience and Response (TSRR) within DfT, leads on national security matters, ranging from counter terrorism and cyber security to planning for and responding to natural hazards or civil contingencies. We deliver expertise to support security and resilience policy teams whilst also providing the department's 24/7 response for all security or civil contingency incidents. The team works with security and intelligence partners from across government to mitigate risk to the UK's transport sector.

The Maritime Security Advancements (MSA) project will focus on delivering major improvements to maritime security through a whole system review of the approach to reducing terrorist threats on vessels. The project will be delivered through phased tasks over multiple years.
