Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority procured consultancy services to develop pathways for reducing its scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions. The work uses the organisation’s existing emissions data, projected contextual changes and planned investments to establish reduction trajectories through to 2038, together with cost projections for the proposed pathways. This is a research and development consultancy requirement, covering carbon reduction analysis, emissions modelling and financial assessment. The buyer is Greater Manchester Combined Authority, based in Manchester. The recorded delivery country is the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to consultancies supporting public bodies with carbon accounting, decarbonisation planning, scenario modelling and investment-informed emissions strategy.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to ARCADIS CONSULTING (UK) LIMITED. It used a below-threshold limited competition based on a three-quote process, under the Procurement Act 2023 and the authority’s constitution. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 15 January 2026 and runs from 5 August 2026 to 18 September 2026. Its value is £45,510 excluding VAT, or £54,612 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the supplier proposals for emissions-reduction trajectories and cost projections. The process was managed as a services procurement by Greater Manchester Combined Authority, with delivery recorded in the United Kingdom.

This procurement shows demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for specialist carbon-reduction consultancy that can turn organisational emissions data into practical pathways and quantified costs. Suppliers competing for comparable work would need credible capability in scope 1 and scope 2 emissions measurement, forecasting and trajectory development, supported by robust data analysis. They would also need to assess how changing circumstances and planned public-sector investments affect future emissions, and to connect technical pathways with defensible cost projections. Relevant experience should include advising public organisations, explaining assumptions clearly and producing decision-ready analysis. The successful supplier was a large consultancy, indicating that the requirement suited a business able to combine climate expertise, analytical capacity and consultancy delivery within a short project.
