Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by UK Research and Innovation, involves the development of a Decarbonisation Strategy under the industry category of architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. This procurement is already in the award stage, having been concluded without competition due to the unique technical requirements that only a specific supplier could fulfil. The contract notice, identified as PS25369, was published on 19th December 2025 and spans a period starting from 17th December 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method used was a direct award, falling below the competitive threshold, with Zero Emission Buildings Ltd being the appointed supplier. All activities are centred in the United Kingdom, specifically involving parties located at Polaris House, Swindon.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in specialised engineering and environmental services, particularly those focusing on innovative solutions for decarbonisation. Although this contract was awarded directly due to technical specificity, similar projects in the future may offer competitive opportunities for companies with expertise in sustainability and cutting-edge environmental strategies. Businesses that harness such niche technical capabilities may thus find themselves well-positioned to engage in future bids and collaborations with organisations like UK Research and Innovation, which focus on forward-looking environmental initiatives.
