Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by Lincolnshire County Council, titled "LCC Farm Carbon," aims to address greenhouse gas emissions in the farming sector, a pivotal industry in Lincolnshire and the broader United Kingdom. As sub-central government authority, the council seeks solutions to support local farmers' endeavours in emissions management, aligning with the UK's net-zero target by 2050. At the award stage, the contract, valued at £20,000 net, was signed on 16 February 2026 and is set for a one-year period from 1 March 2026. The procurement process was limited in scope, below the threshold, to provide services concerning pollution tracking, environmental protection, and consultancy on environmental issues, with the project located in the UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, pollution monitoring, and rehabilitation services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like GSC Grays have already been engaged, indicating a favorable environment for similar businesses to flourish. Companies aiming to expand their footprint in the agriculture and environmental sector can leverage this project to showcase their expertise in reducing emissions and promoting sustainable practices, further enhancing their growth potential in public sector operations. The Farm Carbon project not only imparts value through direct service provision but also through the long-term economic sustainability it aims to secure for regional farmers.

Notice Title

LCC Farm Carbon

Notice Description

Lincolnshire County Council has produced the Green Masterplan (see Appendix A) which works on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the County Council and across the wider economy. This plan is in response to the UK government's target to be net-zero by 2050. Approximately 80% of Lincolnshire is involved in farming, making it a highly valuable region to both the local and national economy. However, the related agricultural emissions must be addressed as they are one of the leading sources of emissions after transport. Therefore, this project aims to ensure that farmers are supported on this journey to understanding their emissions, and ways in which these can be managed without compromising the future success and stability of their business.
