Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has completed the procurement process for the "ODA - Environmental Pollution" contract under the industry category of Environmental services (CPV: 90700000). This contract, valued at £2,700,000, focuses on Environmental Pollution Control research in Vietnam and Uganda. The buying organisation operates from London, UK, and used a restricted procedure under a selective procurement method. The contract was signed on 27 May 2025 with the supplier Global Alliance on Health and Pollution, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The process included a direct award approach without a prior call for competition, due to specific technical expertise requirements and intellectual property considerations related to the software used in the research.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale enterprises with rich expertise in environmental impact assessments and pollution control research. Companies with capabilities in managing international projects and possessing proprietary technologies or specialised knowledge in environmental services are well-positioned to collaborate on similar initiatives. The contract’s focus on strategic locations such as Vietnam and Uganda highlights the potential for organisations skilled in navigating varied regulatory environments and contributing to global environmental protection goals.
