UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero has concluded a public procurement process titled "UNFCCC Review – In-Country Review of Paraguay’s Biennial Transparency Report". This procurement falls under the industry category of Research Services, specifically focusing on facilitating and funding UK experts to participate in the review of international climate change reports. Located in London, the contracting authority has progressed this process to the Award stage as of 21st January 2026, following a direct procurement method without competition due to the below-threshold value of £19,364 GBP. The associated contract commenced on 21st January 2026 and is set to conclude by 27th May 2026.

This procurement presents growth opportunities predominantly for businesses specialising in environmental research, consultancy services, and international compliance monitoring. As the contract was awarded to Aether Limited, an SME based in Oxford, this demonstrates an opportunity for similarly positioned companies to engage with government projects that require niche expertise within sustainable development and environmental sectors. Businesses equipped with accredited experts on the UNFCCC Roster, which can offer bespoke research services, would be well-suited to participate in similar opportunities in the future, fostering a solid platform for expanding their service portfolios in the global environmental space.
