UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL), a public authority of central government in the UK, has completed a procurement process for the "TfL Business Air Travel Carbon Credits" contract. The project, under the "services" category, was designed to procure carbon credits, such as those generated by peat bog projects, to offset the emissions from TfL's business air travel. The procurement process utilised a "below threshold - limited competition" method, with the award stage completed on 19 December 2025. The contract was initiated on 5 January 2026 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2026, with a total contract value of £53,570, exclusive of VAT. This procurement falls under the service code for purchasing CO2 emission credits (CPV: 90731210).

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in carbon credit provision and environmental sustainability. Firms that are adept at offering carbon offset solutions, particularly those with expertise in renewable projects, such as peatland restoration or similar initiatives, stand to gain. Given the specialised nature of the contract, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Forest Carbon Limited, which successfully tendered and has been awarded the contract, exemplify the type of organisation well-positioned to compete in this space. By aligning with environmental objectives and government mandates, companies can leverage such procurement opportunities for business growth and establishing long-term partnerships with influential public sector entities like TfL.
