UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office sought UK nature-based carbon removal credits, a service intended to support its carbon removal requirements. The procurement covered one lot, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The stated classification is environmental services. Suppliers would need to provide credits generated through nature-based carbon removal in the UK; the available description does not further define the credit types or project activities.

The Met Office invited offers at the tender stage. The procurement was subsequently withdrawn. The buyer states that the scope is being revised and that a new round of preliminary market engagement will take place under a revised proposed approach. The single lot had a planned contract period from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2030. Its estimated value was £750,000 excluding VAT (£900,000 including VAT). The recorded cancellation does not give an evaluation basis or an offer deadline.

This opportunity was suited to small and medium-sized enterprises, and to suppliers able to provide UK nature-based carbon removal credits. Businesses with access to eligible nature-based carbon removal projects or credit portfolios may find the requirement relevant, particularly those able to demonstrate that their credits meet the Met Office’s revised approach when it is brought forward. The buyer’s stated reason for withdrawal is a change to the proposed procurement scope, so the requirement may be reshaped before a new market engagement exercise. The published description does not identify specific accreditations, verification standards, delivery volumes or supplier experience thresholds; firms should assess the revised requirements when they are issued.
