Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL), a central government public authority, has completed a procurement process for the "TfL Business Flights Carbon Credits," aimed at purchasing Peatland Carbon Code Pending Issuance Units (PIUs) from UK projects. The purpose is to mitigate the impact of up to 2050 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), with the subsequent listing of TfL's PIUs on a public online registry. The procurement, conducted under the "limited" method due to being below the threshold, has progressed from the planning and tender stages to the contract award, which was signed on 19th December 2025. The contract, now active, commenced on 5th January 2026 and will conclude on 31st March 2026, with the delivery location set in the UKI region of the United Kingdom and involving services related to CO2 emission credits.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in environmental sustainability and carbon offsetting, such as those dealing with emission credits. Small to medium-sized enterprises specialising in this niche can particularly benefit, as demonstrated by the involvement of Forest Carbon Limited, a supplier headquartered in Durham, which successfully secured the contract valued at £53,750 with a gross amount of £64,500. This procurement process highlights a growth opportunity for companies that can offer innovative solutions to reduce carbon footprints, aligning with public sector initiatives geared towards environmental responsibility.
