Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) under the contract title "UKRI-5474 Net Zero Analysis of technology options and market trajectories" has successfully reached the award stage. This tender falls under the industry category of "technical testing, analysis and consultancy services," as classified by CPV code 71600000. The procurement method was "limited," signifying competition below the threshold, and took place at UKRI's location in Swindon, Wiltshire. The process encompasses preliminary analysis for the British Antarctic Survey and has a contractual start date of 21 January 2026, with the service completion due by 31 March 2026, extendable until 30 September 2026 if needed.
